何西阿書 1
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
何西阿娶淫婦以示以色列人棄主從邪
1 當烏西雅、約坦、亞哈斯、希西家做猶大王,約阿施的兒子耶羅波安做以色列王的時候,耶和華的話臨到備利的兒子何西阿。
生子耶斯列
2 耶和華初次與何西阿說話,對他說:「你去娶淫婦為妻,也收那從淫亂所生的兒女,因為這地大行淫亂,離棄耶和華。」 3 於是,何西阿去娶了滴拉音的女兒歌篾。這婦人懷孕,給他生了一個兒子。 4 耶和華對何西阿說:「給他起名叫耶斯列,因為再過片時,我必討耶戶家在耶斯列殺人流血的罪,也必使以色列家的國滅絕。 5 到那日,我必在耶斯列平原折斷以色列的弓。」
生女羅路哈瑪
6 歌篾又懷孕,生了一個女兒。耶和華對何西阿說:「給她起名叫羅路哈瑪[a],因為我必不再憐憫以色列家,決不赦免他們。 7 我卻要憐憫猶大家,使他們靠耶和華他們的神得救,不使他們靠弓、刀、爭戰、馬匹與馬兵得救。」
復生子羅阿米
8 歌篾給羅路哈瑪斷奶以後,又懷孕,生了一個兒子。 9 耶和華說:「給他起名叫羅阿米[b],因為你們不做我的子民,我也不做你們的神。」
預言猶大與以色列復興
10 「然而,以色列的人數必如海沙,不可量,不可數。從前在什麼地方對他們說『你們不是我的子民』,將來在那裡必對他們說『你們是永生神的兒子』。 11 猶大人和以色列人必一同聚集,為自己立一個首領,從這地上去[c],因為耶斯列的日子必為大日。
Hosea 1
New International Version
1 The word of the Lord that came(A) to Hosea son of Beeri during the reigns of Uzziah,(B) Jotham,(C) Ahaz(D) and Hezekiah,(E) kings of Judah,(F) and during the reign of Jeroboam(G) son of Jehoash[a] king of Israel:(H)
Hosea’s Wife and Children
2 When the Lord began to speak through Hosea, the Lord said to him, “Go, marry a promiscuous(I) woman and have children with her, for like an adulterous wife this land is guilty of unfaithfulness(J) to the Lord.” 3 So he married Gomer(K) daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
4 Then the Lord said to Hosea, “Call him Jezreel,(L) because I will soon punish the house of Jehu for the massacre at Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of Israel. 5 In that day I will break Israel’s bow in the Valley of Jezreel.(M)”
6 Gomer(N) conceived again and gave birth to a daughter. Then the Lord said to Hosea, “Call her Lo-Ruhamah (which means “not loved”),(O) for I will no longer show love to Israel,(P) that I should at all forgive them. 7 Yet I will show love to Judah; and I will save them—not by bow,(Q) sword or battle, or by horses and horsemen, but I, the Lord their God,(R) will save them.”
8 After she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah,(S) Gomer had another son. 9 Then the Lord said, “Call him Lo-Ammi (which means “not my people”), for you are not my people, and I am not your God.[b](T)
10 “Yet the Israelites will be like the sand on the seashore, which cannot be measured or counted.(U) In the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ they will be called ‘children of the living God.’(V) 11 The people of Judah and the people of Israel will come together;(W) they will appoint one leader(X) and will come up out of the land,(Y) for great will be the day of Jezreel.[c](Z)

Hosea 1
English Standard Version
1 The word of the Lord that came to Hosea, the son of Beeri, (A)in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of (B)Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
Hosea's Wife and Children
2 When the Lord first spoke through Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea, (C)“Go, take to yourself a wife of whoredom and have (D)children of whoredom, for (E)the land commits great whoredom by forsaking the Lord.” 3 So he went and took Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
4 And the Lord said to him, “Call his name Jezreel, for in just a little while (F)I will punish the house of Jehu for the blood of Jezreel, and (G)I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel. 5 And on that day (H)I will break the bow of Israel (I)in the Valley of Jezreel.”
6 She conceived again and bore a daughter. And the Lord said to him, (J)“Call her name No Mercy,[a] for (K)I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel, to forgive them at all. 7 But (L)I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and I will save them by the Lord their God. I (M)will not save them by bow or by sword or by war or by horses or by horsemen.”
8 When she had weaned No Mercy, she conceived and bore a son. 9 And the Lord said, (N)“Call his name Not My People,[b] for (O)you are not my people, and I am not your God.”[c]
10 [d] Yet (P)the number of the children of Israel shall be (Q)like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered. (R)And (S)in the place where it was said to them, (T)“You are not my people,” it shall be said to them, (U)“Children[e] of (V)the living God.” 11 And (W)the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and (X)they shall appoint for themselves one head. And they shall go up from the land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
