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

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

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. And on that day (H)I will break the bow of Israel (I)in the Valley of Jezreel.”

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. 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.”

When she had weaned No Mercy, she conceived and bore a son. 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.

Hosea’s Wife and Children

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.” So he married Gomer(K) daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.

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. In that day I will break Israel’s bow in the Valley of Jezreel.(M)

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. 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.”

After she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah,(S) Gomer had another son. 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)

Hosea’s Wife and Children

The word of the Lord that came to Hosea son of Be’eri,[a] in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, the kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash, the king of Israel.

When the Lord first spoke through Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea, “Go. Take for yourself an immoral wife and children produced by sexual immorality,[b] because the land has been committing flagrant immorality, turning away from the Lord.”

So he went and took Gomer daughter of Diblaim. She conceived and gave birth to a son for him.

The Lord said to him, “Name him Jezre’el,[c] because in a little while I will inflict punishment on the house of Jehu for the blood of Jezre’el. I will destroy the ruling power of the house of Israel. In that day I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezre’el.”

She conceived again and gave birth to a daughter.

The Lord said to him, “Name her Lo Ruhamah,[d] because I will no longer have compassion on the house of Israel. Indeed, I will certainly not forgive them. But I will have compassion on the house of Judah. I will save them by the Lord their God. I will not save them by bow, sword, battle, horses, or horsemen.”[e]

Gomer weaned Lo Ruhamah. Then she conceived and gave birth to a son.

The Lord said, “Name him Lo Ammi,[f] because you are not my people, and I will not be the Lord for you.”[g]

A Promise of Future Blessing

10 Nevertheless, the number of the people of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or counted. Then, in the place where they were told, “You are not my people,” they will be told, “You are children of the living God.” 11 The people of Judah and the people of Israel will be gathered together. They will appoint one head for themselves, and they will go up from the land, for the day of Jezre’el will be great.[h]

La esposa infiel de Oseas, y sus hijos

Palabra de Jehová que vino a Oseas hijo de Beeri, en días de Uzías,(A) Jotam,(B) Acaz(C) y Ezequías,(D) reyes de Judá, y en días de Jeroboam(E) hijo de Joás, rey de Israel.

El principio de la palabra de Jehová por medio de Oseas. Dijo Jehová a Oseas: Ve, tómate una mujer fornicaria, e hijos de fornicación; porque la tierra fornica apartándose de Jehová. Fue, pues, y tomó a Gomer hija de Diblaim, la cual concibió y le dio a luz un hijo.

Y le dijo Jehová: Ponle por nombre Jezreel; porque de aquí a poco yo castigaré a la casa de Jehú por causa de la sangre de Jezreel,(F) y haré cesar el reino de la casa de Israel. Y en aquel día quebraré yo el arco de Israel en el valle de Jezreel.

Concibió ella otra vez, y dio a luz una hija. Y le dijo Dios: Ponle por nombre Lo-ruhama,[a] porque no me compadeceré más de la casa de Israel, sino que los quitaré del todo. Mas de la casa de Judá tendré misericordia, y los salvaré por Jehová su Dios; y no los salvaré con arco, ni con espada, ni con batalla, ni con caballos ni jinetes.

Después de haber destetado a Lo-ruhama, concibió y dio a luz un hijo. Y dijo Dios: Ponle por nombre Lo-ammi,[b] porque vosotros no sois mi pueblo, ni yo seré vuestro Dios.

10 Con todo, será el número de los hijos de Israel como la arena del mar, que no se puede medir ni contar. Y en el lugar en donde les fue dicho: Vosotros no sois pueblo mío, les será dicho: Sois hijos del Dios viviente.(G) 11 Y se congregarán los hijos de Judá y de Israel, y nombrarán un solo jefe, y subirán de la tierra; porque el día de Jezreel será grande.

  1. Oseas 1:6 Esto es, No compadecida.
  2. Oseas 1:9 Esto es, No pueblo mío.

Слово Господне, которое было к Осии, сыну Беериину, во дни Озии, Иоафама, Ахаза, Езекии, царей Иудейских, и во дни Иеровоама, сына Иоасова, царя Израильского.

Начало слова Господня к Осии. И сказал Господь Осии: иди, возьми себе жену блудницу и детей блуда; ибо сильно блудодействует земля сия, отступив от Господа.

И пошел он и взял Гомерь, дочь Дивлаима; и она зачала и родила ему сына.

И Господь сказал ему: нареки ему имя Изреель, потому что еще немного пройдет, и Я взыщу кровь Изрееля с дома Ииуева, и положу конец царству дома Израилева,

и будет в тот день, Я сокрушу лук Израилев в долине Изреель.

И зачала еще, и родила дочь, и Он сказал ему: нареки ей имя Лорухама; ибо Я уже не буду более миловать дома Израилева, чтобы прощать им.

А дом Иудин помилую и спасу их в Господе Боге их, спасу их ни луком, ни мечом, ни войною, ни конями и всадниками.

И, откормив грудью Непомилованную, она зачала, и родила сына.

И сказал Он: нареки ему имя Лоамми, потому что вы не Мой народ, и Я не буду вашим [Богом].

10 Но будет число сынов Израилевых как песок морской, которого нельзя ни измерить, ни исчислить; и там, где говорили им: 'вы не Мой народ', будут говорить им: 'вы сыны Бога живаго'.

11 И соберутся сыны Иудины и сыны Израилевы вместе, и поставят себе одну главу, и выйдут из земли [переселения]; ибо велик день Изрееля!
