Osea 1
La Nuova Diodati
1 La parola dell'Eterno che fu rivolta a Osea, figlio di Beeri, ai giorni di Uzziah, di Jotham, di Achaz e di Ezechia, re di Giuda, ai giorni di Geroboamo, figlio di Joas, re d'Israele.
2 Quando l'Eterno iniziò a parlare a Osea, l'Eterno disse ad Osea: «Va' prenditi in moglie una prostituta e abbi figli di prostituzione, perché il paese si prostituisce, allontanandosi dall'Eterno».
3 Così egli andò e prese Gomer, figlia di Diblaim, ed essa concepí e gli partorí un figlio.
4 Allora l'Eterno gli disse: «Chiamalo Jezreel, perché fra un po' di tempo vendicherò il sangue sparso a Jezreel sulla casa di Jehu e porrò fine al regno della casa d'Israele.
5 In quel giorno avverrà che io spezzerò l'arco d'Israele nella valle di Jezreel».
6 Ella concepí nuovamente e partorí una figlia. Allora l'Eterno disse a Osea: «Chiamala Lo-ruhamah, perché non avrò piú compassione della casa d'Israele, ma li porterò via interamente.
7 Avrò invece compassione della casa di Giuda e li salverò mediante l'Eterno, il loro DIO, non li salverò con l'arco né con la spada o la battaglia, né con i cavalli o i cavalieri».
8 Quando ebbe divezzato Lo-ruhamah, ella concepí e partorí un figlio.
9 Allora l'Eterno disse a Osea: «Chiamalo Lo-ammi, perché voi non siete mio popolo e io non sono vostro Dio.
10 Tuttavia il numero dei figli d'Israele sarà come la sabbia del mare, che non si può misurare né contare. E avverrà che invece di essere detto loro: "Voi non siete mio popolo" sarà loro detto: "Siete figli del Dio vivente"
11 Quindi i figli di Giuda e i figli d'Israele si riuniranno insieme nomineranno per se stessi un unico capo e saliranno fuori dal paese, perché grande sarà il giorno di Jezreel».
Hosea 1
Common English Bible
1 The Lord’s word that came to Hosea, Beeri’s son, in the days of Judah’s Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, and in the days of Israel’s King Jeroboam, Joash’s son.
God commands Hosea to marry
2 When the Lord first spoke through Hosea, the Lord said to him,“Go, marry a prostitute and have children of prostitution, for the people of the land commit great prostitution by deserting the Lord.” 3 So Hosea went and took Gomer, Diblaim’s daughter, and she became pregnant and bore him a son. 4 The Lord said to him, “Name him Jezreel; for in a little while I will punish the house of Jehu for the blood of Jezreel, and I will destroy the kingdom of the house of Israel. 5 On that day I will break the bow of Israel in the Jezreel Valley.” 6 Gomer became pregnant again and gave birth to a daughter. Then the Lord said to Hosea, “Name her No Compassion, because I will no longer have compassion on the house of Israel or forgive them. 7 But I will have compassion on the house of Judah. I, the Lord their God, will save them; I will not save them by bow, or by sword, or by war, or by horses, or by horsemen.” 8 When Gomer finished nursing No Compassion, she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. 9 Then the Lord said, “Name him Not My People because you are not my people, and I am not your God.”[a]
Hope for the future
10 [b] Yet the number of the people of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which can be neither measured nor numbered; and in the place where it was said to them, “You are not my people,” it will be said to them, “Children of the living God.” 11 The people of Judah and the people of Israel will be gathered together, and they will choose one head. They will become fruitful in the land.[c] The day will be a wonderful one for Jezreel.

Hosea 1
King James Version
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.
2 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.
3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son.
4 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.
5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel, in the valley of Jezreel.
6 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.
7 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.
8 Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.
9 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.
