娶淫妇的象征意义

犹大王乌西雅、约坦、亚哈斯、希西家在位的时候,也是约阿施的儿子以色列王耶罗波安执政的时候,耶和华的话临到备利的儿子何西阿。

耶和华初次借着何西阿说话。耶和华对何西阿说:“你去娶一个像娼妓一样的女人,生养像娼妓一样的儿女,因为这地盛行淫乱,离开了耶和华。”

三个儿女名字的象征意义

于是他就去娶了滴拉音的女儿歌玛。后来,她怀了孕,给他生了一个儿子。

耶和华就对何西阿说:“给他起名叫耶斯列;因为不久我就要惩罚耶户家在耶斯列流人血的罪,我要灭绝以色列家的国。

“到那日,我要在耶斯列平原折断以色列的弓。”

后来,歌玛又怀孕,生了一个女儿。耶和华对何西阿说:“给她起名叫罗.路哈玛(“罗.路哈玛”意即“不蒙怜恤”);因为我必不再怜恤以色列家,我决不赦免他们。

“但我要怜恤犹大家,使他们靠耶和华他们的 神得救。我要拯救他们,并不是靠弓、靠刀、靠战争,也不是靠战马、靠骑兵。”

罗.路哈玛断奶之后,歌玛又怀孕生了一个儿子。

耶和华说:“给他起名叫罗.阿米(“罗.阿米”意即“非我民”);因为你们不是我的子民,我也不是你们的 神。

预言将来的复兴

10 “然而,以色列人的数目,

必多如海边的沙,

量不尽,数不完。

从前在甚么地方对他们说:

‘你们不是我的子民’,

将来要在那里对他们说:

‘你们是永活的 神的儿子。’

11 犹大人和以色列人要聚集在一起,

为自己立一位首领,

并离开那地上去,

因为耶斯列的日子必为大日。”(本章第10~11节在《马索拉文本》为2:1~2)

Hosea’s Wife and Children

The word of the Lord which came to (A)Hosea the son of Beeri, during the days of (B)Uzziah, (C)Jotham, (D)Ahaz, and (E)Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and during the days of (F)Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.

When the Lord first spoke through Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea, “(G)Go, take for yourself a wife [a]inclined to infidelity, and children of infidelity; for (H)the land commits flagrant infidelity, [b]abandoning the Lord.” So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and (I)bore him a son. And the Lord said to him, “Name him (J)Jezreel; for in just a little while (K)I will [c]punish the house of Jehu for the bloodshed of Jezreel, and (L)I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel. On that day I will (M)break the bow of Israel in the (N)Valley of Jezreel.”

Then she conceived again and gave birth to a daughter. And [d]the Lord said to him, “Name her [e]Lo-ruhamah, for I will no longer (O)take pity on the house of Israel, that I would ever forgive them. But I will take (P)pity on the house of Judah and (Q)save them by the Lord their God, and will not save them by (R)bow, sword, battle, horses, or horsemen.”

When she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived and gave birth to a son. And [f]the Lord said, “Name him [g]Lo-ammi, because you are not My people, and I am not [h]your God.”

10 [i]Yet the number of the sons of Israel
Will be like the (S)sand of the sea,
Which cannot be measured or counted;
And (T)in the place
Where it is said to them,
“You are (U)not My people,”
It will be said to them,
You are the (V)sons of the living God.”
11 And the (W)sons of Judah and the sons of Israel will be (X)gathered together,
And they will appoint for themselves (Y)one leader,
And they will go up from the land,
For the day of Jezreel will be great.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.

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

10 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.

11 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.
