¹The word of Jehovah that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.

¹Slovo Hospodinovo, ktoré sa stalo k Hozeášovi, synovi Bériho, za dní Uziáša, Jotama, Achaza a Ezechiáša, kráľov Júdových a za dní Jeroboáma, syna Joasa, kráľa Izraelovho.

²The beginning of the word of Jehovah through Hosea. And Jehovah said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms, and children of whoredoms; for the land is entirely given up to whoredom, away from Jehovah.

²Na počiatku, keď hovoril Hospodin Hozeášom, riekol Hospodin Hozeášovi: Idi, vezmi si ženu, kleslú do smilstva, a deti zo smilstva, lebo nestudate smilní táto zem nenasledujúc Hospodina.

³And he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived and bore him a son.

³A Išiel a vzal si Gomer, dcéru Diblaima, a počnúc porodila mu syna.

⁴And Jehovah said unto him, Call his name Jizreel; for yet a little, and I will visit the blood of Jizreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.

⁴A Hospodin mu riekol: Nazvi jeho meno Jizreel, lebo ešte niečo málo, a navštívim krv Jizreela na dome Jehu-va a učiním prietrž kráľovstvu domu Izraelovho.

⁵And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jizreel.

⁵A stane sa toho dňa, že polámem lučište Izraelovo v údolí Jizreela.

⁶And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And he said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah; for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel, so that I should pardon them.

⁶A zase počala a porodila dcéru. A riekol mu: Nazvi jej meno: Ló-rucháma, lebo sa už viacej nezľutujem nad domom Izraelovým, aby som im niečo odpustil.

⁷But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by Jehovah their God; and I will not save them by bow, or by sword, or by battle, [or] by horses, or by horsemen.

⁷Ale sa zľutujem nad domom Júdovým a zachránim ich Hospodinom, ich Bohom, a nezachránim ich lučišťom ani mečom ani vojnou, koňmi alebo jazdcami.

⁸And she weaned Lo-ruhamah; and she conceived and bore a son;

⁸A keď odlúčila Ló-ruchámu, počala a porodila syna.

⁹and he said, Call his name Lo-ammi; for ye are not my people, and I will not be for you.

⁹A riekol: Nazvi jeho meno Ló-ammi, lebo vy nie ste mojím ľudom, a ja nebudem vaším Bohom.

¹⁰Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea which cannot be measured or numbered; and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said unto them, Sons of the living ùGod.

¹⁰Avšak bude počet synov Izraelových ako piesku mora, ktorý sa nedá ani zmerať ani spočítať, a stane sa, že na mieste, kde im bolo povedané: Vy nie ste mojím ľudom, povie sa im: Synovia silného Boha živého.

¹¹And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up out of the land: for great is the day of Jizreel.

¹¹A synovia Júdovi a synovia Izraelovi budú shromaždení dovedna, a ustanovia si jednu hlavu a vyjdú hore zo zeme, lebo veľký bude deň Jizreela.
