Osee 1
1The word of the Lord which came to Osee the son of Beeri, in the days of Ozias, and Joatham, and Achaz, and Ezekias, kings of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joas, king of Israel.ΛΟΓΟΣ Κυρίου, ὃς ἐγενήθη πρὸς Ὠσηὲ τὸν τοῦ Βεηρεὶ, ἐν ἡμέραις Ὀζίου, καὶ Ἰωάθαμ, καὶ Ἄχαζ, καὶ Ἐζεκίου βασιλέων Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐν ἡμέραις Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ἰωὰς βασιλέως Ἰσραήλ.
2The beginning of the word of the Lord by Osee. And the Lord said to Osee, Go, take to yourself a wife of fornication, and children of fornication: for the land will surely go a-whoring in departing from the Lord.Ἀρχὴ λόγου Κυρίου ἐν Ὠσῆέ· καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Ὠσηὲ, βάδιζε, λάβε σεαυτῷ γυναῖκα πορνείας, καὶ τέκνα πορνείας, διότι ἐκπορνεύουσα ἐκπορνεύσει ἡ γῆ ἀπὸ ὄπισθεν τοῦ Κυρίου.
3So he went and took Gomer, daughter of Debelaim; and she conceived, and bore him a son.Καὶ ἐπορεύθη, καὶ ἔλαβε τὴν Γόμερ, θυγατέρα Δεβηλαΐμ· καὶ συνέλαβε καὶ ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ υἱόν.
4And the Lord said to him, Call his name Jezrael; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezrael on the house of Juda, and will make to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς αὐτὸν, κάλεσον τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰεζραὲλ, διότι ἔτι μικρὸν, καὶ ἐκδικήσω τὸ αἷμα τοῦ Ἰεζραὲλ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ἰούδα, καὶ καταπαύσω βασιλείαν οἴκου Ἰσραήλ.
5And it shall be, in that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezrael.Καὶ ἔσται, ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, συντρίψω τὸ τόξον τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν κοιλάδι τοῦ Ἰεζραέλ.
6And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And he said to him, Call her name, Unpitied: for I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel, but will surely set myself in array against them.Καὶ συνέλαβεν ἔτι, καὶ ἔτεκε θυγατέρα· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, κάλεσον τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς, οὐκ ἠλεημένη· διότι οὐ μὴ προσθήσω ἔτι ἐλεῆσαι τὸν οἶκον Ἰσραὴλ, ἀλλʼ ἢ ἀντιτασσόμενος ἀντιτάξομαι αὐτοῖς.
7But I will have mercy on the house of Juda, and will save them by the Lord their God, and will not save them with bow, nor with sword, nor by war, nor by horses, nor by horsemen.Τοὺς δὲ υἱοὺς Ἰούδα ἐλεήσω, καὶ σώσω αὐτοὺς ἐν Κυρίῳ Θεῷ αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐ σώσω αὐτοὺς ἐν τόξῳ, οὐδὲ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ, οὐδὲ ἐν πολέμῳ, οὐδὲ ἐν ἵπποις, οὐδὲ ἐν ἱππεῦσι.
8And she weaned Unpitied; and she conceived again, and bore a son.Καὶ ἀπεγαλάκτισε τὴν οὐκ ἠλεημένην· καὶ συνέλαβεν ἔτι, καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱόν.
9And he said, Call his name, Not my people: for you are not my people, and I am not your God.Καὶ εἶπε, κάλεσον τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, οὐ λαός μου· διότι ὑμεῖς οὐ λαός μου, καὶ ἐγὼ οὐκ εἰμὶ ὑμῶν.
10Yet the number of the children of Israel was as the sand of the sea, which shall not be measured nor numbered: and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, even they shall be called the sons of the living God.
11And the children of Juda shall be gathered, and the children of Israel together, and shall appoint themselves one head, and shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezrael.
