Hosea 1

The 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.

قَوْلُ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي صَارَ إِلَى هُوشَعَ بْنِ بِئِيرِي، فِي أَيَّامِ عُزِّيَّا وَيُوثَامَ وَآحَازَ وَحَزَقِيَّا مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا، وَفِي أَيَّامِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ يُوآشَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

The 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.

أَوَّلَ مَا كَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ هُوشَعَ، قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِهُوشَعَ: «اذْهَبْ خُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ امْرَأَةَ زِنًى وَأَوْلاَدَ زِنًى، لأَنَّ الأَرْضَ قَدْ زَنَتْ زِنًى تَارِكَةً الرَّبَّ».

So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son.

فَذَهَبَ وَأَخَذَ جُومَرَ بِنْتَ دِبْلاَيِمَ، فَحَبِلَتْ وَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ ابْنًا،

And 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.

فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: «ادْعُ اسْمَهُ يَزْرَعِيلَ، لأَنَّنِي بَعْدَ قَلِيل أُعَاقِبُ بَيْتَ يَاهُو عَلَى دَمِ يَزْرَعِيلَ، وَأُبِيدُ مَمْلَكَةَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

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

وَيَكُونُ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَنِّي أَكْسِرُ قَوْسَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي وَادِي يَزْرَعِيلَ».

And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Lo–ruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.

ثُمَّ حَبِلَتْ أَيْضًا وَوَلَدَتْ بِنْتًا، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «ادْعُ اسْمَهَا لُورُحَامَةَ، لأَنِّي لاَ أَعُودُ أَرْحَمُ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَيْضًا، بَلْ أَنْزِعُهُمْ نَزْعًا.

But 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.

وَأَمَّا بَيْتُ يَهُوذَا فَأَرْحَمُهُمْ وَأُخَلِّصُهُمْ بِالرَّبِّ إِلهِهِمْ، وَلاَ أُخَلِّصُهُمْ بِقَوْسٍ وَبِسَيْفٍ وَبِحَرْبٍ وَبِخَيْل وَبِفُرْسَانٍ».

Now when she had weaned Lo–ruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.

ثُمَّ فَطَمَتْ لُورُحَامَةَ وَحَبِلَتْ فَوَلَدَتِ ابْنًا،

Then said God, Call his name Lo–ammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.

فَقَالَ: «ادْعُ اسْمَهُ لُوعَمِّي، لأَنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ شَعْبِي وَأَنَا لاَ أَكُونُ لَكُمْ.

Yet 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.

لكِنْ يَكُونُ عَدَدُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَرَمْلِ الْبَحْرِ الَّذِي لاَ يُكَالُ وَلاَ يُعَدُّ، وَيَكُونُ عِوَضًا عَنْ أَنْ يُقَالَ لَهُمْ: لَسْتُمْ شَعْبِي، يُقَالُ لَهُمْ: أَبْنَاءُ اللهِ الْحَيِّ.

Then 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.

وَيُجْمَعُ بَنُو يَهُوذَا وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعًا وَيَجْعَلُونَ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ رَأْسًا وَاحِدًا، وَيَصْعَدُونَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ، لأَنَّ يَوْمَ يَزْرَعِيلَ عَظِيمٌ.
