¹Beseda GOSPODOVA, ki je prišla Ozeu, sinu Beerijevemu, v dneh Uzija, Jotama, Ahaza in Ezekija, kraljev Judovih, in v dneh Jeroboama, sina Joasa, kralja Izraelovega.

²When Yahweh spoke at first by Hosea, Yahweh said to Hosea, “Go, take for yourself a wife of prostitution and children of unfaithfulness; for the land commits great adultery, forsaking Yahweh.”

²Ko je GOSPOD vprvič govoril po Ozeu, mu je rekel: Pojdi, vzemi si ženo nečistnico in otroke, rojene iz nečistosti; kajti dežela nesramno nečistuje, ne hoteč hoditi za GOSPODOM.

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

³Šel je torej in vzel Gomero, hči Diblaimovo; in spočela je in mu rodila sina.

⁴Yahweh said to him, “Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.

⁴In GOSPOD mu veli: Daj mu ime Jezreel; zakaj še malo časa, in maščeval bom kri, prelito v Jezreelu, nad hišo Jehujevo in storim konec kraljestvu Izraelovemu.

⁵It will happen in that day that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.”

⁵In zgodi se tisti dan, da starem lok Izraelov v dolini Jezreelski.

⁶She conceived again, and bore a daughter. Then he said to him, “Call her name Lo-Ruhamah Lo-Ruhamah means “not loved.” ; for I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, that I should in any way pardon them.

⁶In zopet je spočela in rodila hčer. In Gospod mu reče: Daj ji ime Lo-ruhama [T. j. Nepomiloščena.]; zakaj ne bom več pomilostil hiše Izraelove, da bi jim kakorkoli odpuščal.

⁷But I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and will save them by Yahweh their God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” , and will not save them by bow, sword, battle, horses, or horsemen.”

⁷Ali hiše Judove se usmilim in jim dam rešitev po GOSPODU, njih Bogu, in jih ne rešim z lokom, ne z mečem, ne z vojsko, ne s konji in ne z jezdeci.

⁸Now when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son.

⁸Ko pa je odstavila Lo-ruhamo, je spočela in rodila sina.

⁹He said, “Call his name Lo-Ammi Lo-Ammi means “not my people” ; for you are not my people, and I will not be yours.

⁹In Gospod reče: Daj mu ime Lo-ami [T. j. Ne ljudstvo moje.]; zakaj vi niste ljudstvo moje in jaz nočem biti Bog vaš.

¹⁰Yet the number of the children of Israel will be as the sand of the sea, which can’t be measured nor numbered; and it will come to pass that, in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’

¹⁰Vendar bode število sinov Izraelovih enako morskemu pesku, ki se ne more premeriti, ne prešteti; in zgodi se, da se jim na mestu, kjer se jim je reklo: „Niste ljudstvo moje“, poreče: Sinovi ste mogočnega Boga.In zbero se enodušno sinovi Judovi in sinovi Izraelovi in si postavijo edino glavo in pojdejo gori iz dežele; kajti velik bode dan v Jezreelu.

¹¹The children of Judah and the children of Israel will be gathered together, and they will appoint themselves one head, and will go up from the land; for great will be the day of Jezreel.

¹¹In zbero se enodušno sinovi Judovi in sinovi Izraelovi in si postavijo edino glavo in pojdejo gori iz dežele; kajti velik bode dan v Jezreelu.
