1The word of the LORD that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
1Issanda sõna, mis tuli Hooseale, Beeri pojale, Juuda kuningate Ussija, Jootami, Aahase ja Hiskija päevil ja Iisraeli kuninga Jerobeami, Joase poja päevil.
2The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD.
2Alguses, kui Issand hakkas rääkima Hoosea läbi, ütles Issand Hooseale: 'Mine võta enesele hooranaine ja sohilapsed, sest maa lahkub üha hoorates Issanda järelt!'
3So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son.
3Siis ta läks ja võttis enesele Gomeri, Diblaimi tütre; naine jäi lapseootele ja tõi temale poja ilmale.
4And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
4Siis ütles Issand talle: 'Pane temale nimeks Jisreel, sest veel pisut aega ja ma tasun Jisreeli veresüü Jehu soole ning lõpetan Iisraeli soo kuningriigi!
5And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel, in the valley of Jezreel.
5Sel päeval murran ma katki Iisraeli ammu Jisreeli orus.'
6And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.
6Ja naine jäi taas lapseootele ja tõi tütre ilmale ning Issand ütles Hooseale: 'Pane temale nimeks Lo-Ruhama, sest ma ei halasta enam Iisraeli soo peale, nõnda et annaksin neile andeks!
7But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
7Aga Juuda soo peale ma halastan ja ma päästan nad Issanda, nende Jumala läbi; kuid ma ei päästa neid ei ammu, mõõga ega sõja läbi, ei hobuste ega ratsanike läbi.'
8Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.
8Kui naine oli võõrutanud Lo-Ruhama, jäi ta jälle lapseootele ja tõi poja ilmale.
9Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.
9Ja Issand ütles: 'Pane temale nimeks Lo-Ammi, sest teie ei ole minu rahvas ja mina ei ole teie päralt!
10Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
11Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
