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.

¹A 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:

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.

²The 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.`

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

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

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.

⁴and 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;

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

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

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.

⁶And 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;

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

⁷and 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.`

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

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

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

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

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.

¹⁰and 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;

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

¹¹and 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.
