Hosea, 1

1. The word of the Lord that came to 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.

1. La parole de l`Éternel qui fut adressée à Osée, fils de Beéri, au temps d`Ozias, de Jotham, d`Achaz, d`Ézéchias, rois de Juda, et au temps de Jéroboam, fils de Joas, roi d`Israël.

2. The beginning of the Lord’s conversation with Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea: “Go, take to yourself a wife of fornications, and make for yourself sons of fornications, because, by fornicating, the land will fornicate away from the Lord.”

2. La première fois que l`Éternel adressa la parole à Osée, l`Éternel dit à Osée: Va, prends une femme prostituée et des enfants de prostitution; car le pays se prostitue, il abandonne l`Éternel!

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

3. Il alla, et il prit Gomer, fille de Diblaïm. Elle conçut, et lui enfanta un fils.

4. And the Lord said to him: “Call his name Jezreel because, after a little while, I will visit the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and I will put the kingdom of the house of Israel to rest.

4. Et l`Éternel lui dit: Appelle-le du nom de Jizreel; car encore un peu de temps, et je châtierai la maison de Jéhu pour le sang versé à Jizreel, je mettrai fin au royaume de la maison d`Israël.

5. And in that day, I will crush the stronghold of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.”

5. En ce jour-là, je briserai l`arc d`Israël dans la vallée de Jizreel.

6. And after a while, she conceived and bore a daughter. And he said to him: “Call her name, Without Mercy, for I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, but I will utterly forget them.

6. Elle conçut de nouveau, et enfanta une fille. Et l`Éternel dit à Osée: Donne-lui le nom de Lo Ruchama; car je n`aurai plus pitié de la maison d`Israël, je ne lui pardonnerai plus.

7. Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and I will save them by the Lord their God. And I will not save them by bow and sword and battle and horses and horsemen.”

7. Mais j`aurai pitié de la maison de Juda; je les sauverai par l`Éternel, leur Dieu, et je ne les sauverai ni par l`arc, ni par l`épée, ni par les combats, ni par les chevaux, ni par les cavaliers.

8. And she weaned her, who was called Without Mercy. And she conceived and bore a son.

8. Elle sevra Lo Ruchama; puis elle conçut, et enfanta un fils.

9. And he said: “Call his name, Not My People, for you are not my people, and I will not be yours.

9. Et l`Éternel dit: Donne-lui le nom de Lo Ammi; car vous n`êtes pas mon peuple, et je ne suis pas votre Dieu.

10. And the number of the sons of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which is without measure and cannot be numbered. And in the place where it will be said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ this will happen: it will be said to them, ‘You are the sons of the living God.’

10. (2:1) Cependant le nombre des enfants d`Israël sera comme le sable de la mer, qui ne peut ni se mesurer ni se compter; et au lieu qu`on leur disait: Vous n`êtes pas mon peuple! on leur dira: Fils du Dieu vivant!

11. And the sons of Judah, and the sons of Israel, will be gathered together. And they will place over themselves one head, and they will rise up from the earth, for great is the day of Jezreel.”

11. (2:2) Les enfants de Juda et les enfants d`Israël se rassembleront, se donneront un chef, et sortiront du pays; car grande sera la journée de Jizreel.

Versi relativi a Hosea, 1:

Chapter 1 of the Book of Hosea begins with an order given to Hosea by the Lord to marry an adulterous woman and had children with her, as a symbol of Israel's unfaithful relationship with God. It is then revealed that the children she gives to light are named by the Lord with symbolic names that represent God's judgment and punishment over Israel for their infidelity. Below are five verses from other Bible books that deal with topics similar to those addressed in Hosea 1:

Deuteronomy 31:16: "And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, you are to sleep with your parents; and this people will rise, and prostitute themselves with the strange gods of the earth, to whose half goes, and will leave me, and nullify me My concert I have done with him that day. " This verse shows how Israel's infidelity in relation to God was previously predicted in the Bible, and how the people ended up breaking the concert God had made with them.

Isaiah 1:2: "I heard, O heavens, and hear, O earth; for the Lord has spoken: I raised children, and magnified them; but they rebelled against me." Here, Isaiah uses God's metaphor as a father who raised children who rebelled against him as a way of describing Israel's infidelity in relation to God.

Jeremiah 3:6-7: "The Lord said more in the time of King Josiah, Did you see what the rebel Israel did? that she did all this: it makes me. But she didn't come back. And she saw that her prevarication, and unfaithful Judah. " This verse shows how Israel's infidelity was continuous and persistent, despite God's warnings and appeals to repent and return to him.

Ezekiel 23:1-4: "The word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, there were two women, daughters of a mother. And they prostituted themselves in Egypt; , and there the breasts of his virginity were beaten. And his names were: the oldest, Aolá; and his sister, ALIBÁ; And they were mine, and had children and daughters. And their names: the oldest, Aolá, and your sister, ALIBÁ. " This verse uses the metaphor of two sisters who prostituted themselves to describe the infidelity of Israel and Judah in relation to God.

Hosea 4:1-2: "I heard the Word of the Lord, children of Israel; for the Lord has a dispute with the inhabitants of the earth; for there is no truth, no kindness, no knowledge of God on earth. Lie, and murder, and theft, and adultery; they commit adultery, and blood touches in blood. " This verse continues the theme of Israel's infidelity in relation to God, showing how the lack of knowledge and truth on earth led to the spread of crimes such as perjury, lie, murder, theft and adultery.
