Hosea 1

1 A word of Jehovah that hath been unto Hosea, son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel:

当乌西雅、约坦、亚哈斯、希西家作犹大王，约阿施的儿子耶罗波安作以色列王的时候，耶和华的话临到备利的儿子何西阿。

2 The commencement of Jehovah's speaking by Hosea. And Jehovah saith unto Hosea, 'Go, take to thee a woman of whoredoms, and children of whoredoms, for utterly go a-whoring doth the land from after Jehovah.'

耶和华初次与何西阿说话，对他说：“你去娶淫妇为妻，也收那从淫乱所生的儿女；因为这地大行淫乱，离弃耶和华。”

3 And he goeth and taketh Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceiveth and beareth to him a son;

于是，何西阿去娶了滴拉音的女儿歌篾。这妇人怀孕，给他生了一个儿子。

4 and Jehovah saith unto him, 'Call his name Jezreel, for yet a little, and I have charged the blood of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and have caused to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel;

耶和华对何西阿说：“给他起名叫耶斯列；因为再过片时，我必讨耶户家在耶斯列杀人流血的罪，也必使以色列家的国灭绝。

5 and it hath come to pass in that day that I have broken the bow of Israel, in the valley of Jezreel.'

到那日，我必在耶斯列平原折断以色列的弓。”

6 And she conceiveth again, and beareth a daughter, and He saith to him, 'Call her name Lo-Ruhamah, for I add no more to pity the house of Israel, for I do utterly take them away;

歌篾又怀孕生了一个女儿，耶和华对何西阿说：“给她起名叫罗·路哈玛；因为我必不再怜悯以色列家，决不赦免他们。

7 and the house of Judah I pity, and have saved them by Jehovah their God, and do not save them by bow, and by sword, and by battle, by horses, and by horsemen.'

我却要怜悯犹大家，使他们靠耶和华—他们的 神得救，不使他们靠弓、刀、争战、马匹，与马兵得救。”

8 And she weaneth Lo-Ruhamah, and conceiveth, and beareth a son;

歌篾给罗·路哈玛断奶以后，又怀孕生了一个儿子。

9 and He saith, 'Call his name Lo-Ammi, for ye [are] not My people, and I am not for you;

耶和华说：“给他起名叫罗·阿米；因为你们不作我的子民，我也不作你们的 神。”

10 and the number of the sons of Israel hath been as the sand of the sea, that is not measured nor numbered, and it hath come to pass in the place where it is said to them, Ye [are] not My people, it is said to them, Sons of the Living God;

然而，以色列的人数必如海沙，不可量，不可数。从前在什么地方对他们说“你们不是我的子民”，将来在那里必对他们说“你们是永生 神的儿子”。

11 and gathered have been the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel together, and they have appointed to themselves one head, and have gone up from the land, for great [is] the day of Jezreel.

犹大人和以色列人必一同聚集，为自己立一个首领，从这地上去，因为耶斯列的日子必为大日。
