1 This is Yahweh’s message that came to Beeri’s son Hoshea (Hosea) in the time of Kings Uzziyah, Yotam, Ahaz, and Hizkiyah, of Yehudah (Judah), and was also during the reign of Yoash’s son King Yeroboam in Yisrael (Israel).[ref]

1:2 Hoshea’s wife and children

2 When Yahweh first spoke through Hosea, he told him, “Go and get yourself a prostitute for a wife and have children from her, because the country is committing flagrant prostitution by forsaking Yahweh.”

3 So he went and married Divlayim’s daughter Gomer, and she got pregnant and bore him a son. 4 Then Yahweh told him, “Name him Yizre’el, because in a little while I’ll avenge the blood shed in the Yizre’el valley on Yehu’s family, and I’ll put an end to the kingdom of Yisrael.[ref] 5 At that time in the Yizre’el valley, I’ll break Yisrael’s military power.

6 Then Gomer conceived again and bore a daughter, and Yahweh told Hoshea, “Name her Lo-Ruhamah (which means ‘No mercy’), because I’ll no longer have mercy on the Israelis, and I won’t forgive them at all. 7 But I’ll have mercy on the Yehudah’s descendants, and I’ll save them so they’ll be able to see that it was their God Yahweh. (I won’t save them using bows, swords, battles, horses, or horsemen.)”

8 After she’d weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she got pregnant again and bore a second son. 9 Then Yahweh said, “Name him Lo-Ammi (which means ‘Not my people’) because you’re not my people and I’m not your God.”

2 the_beginning _of (of)_when_he _spoke YHWH in/on/at/with_Hōshēˊa and_ YHWH _he/it _said to Hōshēˊa go take to/for_yourself(m) a _wife _of prostitution(s) and_children _of prostitution(s) if/because continually _(prostitute _itself) it _prostitutes _itself the_earth/land by_after YHWH.
3 And_he/it _went and_he/it _took DOM Gomer the _daughter _of Diⱱlayim and_she/it _conceived/became _pregnant and_she/it _gave _birth to_him/it a _son.
4 And_ YHWH _he/it _said to_him/it call his/its_name Yizrəˊ^ʼēl/(Jezreel) if/because yet a _little and_punish DOM the _blood(s)_of Yizrəˊ^ʼēl/(Jezreel) on the _house _of Yēhūʼ/(Jehu) and_put _an _end the _kingdom _of the _house _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel).
5 And_it _was in _the_day (the)_that and_break DOM the _bow _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) in/on/at/with_valley _of Yizrəˊ^ʼēl/(Jezreel).
6 And_she/it _conceived/became _pregnant again and_she/it _gave _birth a _daughter and_he/it _said to_him/it call his/its_name Lo- Ruḩāmāh if/because not I _will _repeat again I _will _have _compassion _on DOM the _house _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) if/because certainly _(forgive) I _will _forgive to/for_them.
7 And_DOM the _house _of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) I _will _have _compassion _on and_save_them in/on/at/with_LORD god _of_their and_not deliver_them in/on/at/with_bow and_in/on/at/with_sword and_in/on/at/with_war in/on/at/with_horses and_in/on/at/with_horsemen.
8 And_weaned DOM Lo- Ruḩāmāh and_she/it _conceived/became _pregnant and_she/it _gave _birth a _son.
9 And_he/it _said call his/its_name Lo- Ammi if/because you _all not people _of_my and_I not I _will _belong to_you _all.

1:10 The restoration of Israel

10 Yet the number of Israelis will be like the sand on the seashore, which can’t be measured or counted. Then instead of being told, ‘You’re not my people,’ they’ll be told, ‘You are children of the living God.’[ref] 11 The people from both Yehudah and Yisrael will be gathered together. They’ll appoint one leader for themselves, and they’ll come out of the countries where they’d been exiled, because the day of Yizre’el (which means ‘planted by God’) will be great.

2 Say to your brothers, ‘My people,’ and your sisters, ‘You’ve all been shown compassion.’ ”

2:2 Israel, the prostitute, will be punished

2 Contend with your mother, contend, because she’s not my wife,

and nor am I her husband.

Let her turn her face away from prostitution,

and cease her adultery from between her breasts.

3 If she doesn’t, I’ll strip her naked

≈and expose her like on the day she was born.

I will make her like the wilderness,

≈and make her like a sun-baked land,

→and I’ll make her die from thirst.

4 I won’t have mercy on her children,

→because they’re the products of prostitution,

5 because their mother has dabbled in prostitution—

≈the woman who conceived them has acted shamefully.

Yes, she had said, “I’ll go after my lovers,

who give me my bread and my water,

≈my wool and my flax,

≈and my oil and my drink.”

6 Therefore, I’ll fence her paths in with thorns.

I’ll build a wall up against her so she can’t find her way.

7 She’ll try to pursue her lovers, but she won’t be able to catch up to them.

≈She’ll search for them, but she won’t be able to find them.

Then she’ll say, “I’ll go and return to my first husband,

→because it was better for me then than it is now.”

8 No, she hadn’t known that it was me who gave her the grain, the new wine and the oil,

≈and who lavished gold and silver on her,

→which they then used for Baal.

9 Therefore I’ll take my grain back in its time,

≈and my new wine in its season.

I’ll take away my wool and my flax

→that were used to cover her nakedness.

10 Now I’ll uncover her lewdness as her lovers watch,

but no one can rescue her from my punishment.

11 I’ll also put an end to all her mirth,

her feasts, her new-moon celebrations, her rest days, and all her scheduled festivals.

12 “I’ll destroy her grapevines and her fig trees,

of which she said, ‘Those are my wages that my lovers gave me.’

I’ll make them grow wild,

→and then the animals in the countryside will devour them.

13 I’ll punish her for the feast days for the Baals,

when she burned incense to them.

When she adorned herself with her rings and jewelry,

and went after her lovers and forgot me.”

That is Yahweh’s declaration.

2 [fn] and_ the _people _of _gathered of _Yəhūdāh and_the _sons of _Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) together and_appoint to/for_them a _leader one and_go _up from the_earth/land if/because will _be_great the _day _of Yizrəˊ^ʼēl/(Jezreel).

5 [fn] lest strip_her naked and_expose_her as_day _of born_she and_make_her like _the_wilderness and_turn_her into_land dryness and_kill_her in/on/at/with_thirst.
6 [fn] and_DOM her/its_sons/descendants not I _will _have _compassion _on if/because are_children _of prostitution(s) they.

8 [fn] for_so/thus/hence look_I am_about _to _fence _up DOM way _of_her in/on/at/with_thorns and_build DOM wall _of_her and_paths _of_her not she _will _find.

10 [fn] and_she not she _knows if/because _that I I _gave to/for_her/it the_grain and_the_new _wine and_the_oil and_silver I _multiplied to/for_her/it and_gold which_they _made for _the_Baˊal.
11 [fn] for_so/thus/hence I _will _return and_take grain _of_my in/on/at/with_time _of_its and_new _wine _of_my in/on/at/with_season _of_its and_take _away wool _of_my and_flax _of_my to_cover DOM nakedness _of_her.

13 [fn] and_put _an _end all _of mirth _of_her festivals _of_her new _moons _of_her and_sabbaths _of_her and_all/each/any/every appointed _festivals _of_her.

2:14 The love of God of his people

14 Therefore, listen, I’m going to entice her.

≈I’ll bring her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her.

15 I’ll give her back her vineyards,

and the depressing Akor Valley[ref] as a gateway for hope.

She’ll answer me there as in the days of her youth—

like at the time that she came out of Egypt (Heb. Mitsrayim).

16 Yahweh declares you’ll call me, ‘My husband,’ at the time

^and no longer call me, ‘My master (Heb. Baal),’

17 because I’ll remove the names of the Baals from her mouth,

and they’ll no longer be remembered by their names.”

18 “On that day I’ll make an agreement for them

with the animals in the fields,

with the birds in the sky,

and with the crawling things on the ground.

I’ll abolish the bow, the sword, and war from the land,

and I’ll make you lie down in safety.

19 I’ll take you as my wife forever.

I’ll marry you to me in righteousness and justice,

in loyal commitment, and in mercy.

20 I’ll be faithful to you as my wife,

and you’ll know Yahweh.

21 This is Yahweh’s declaration:

At that time I’ll answer the skies with rain,

and they’ll answer the earth.

22 The earth will answer the grain, the new wine and the oil,

and they’ll answer Yizre’el (which means ‘God sows/plants’).

23 I will sow her for myself in the land,

and I will have mercy on Lo-Ruhamah (‘No mercy’).

I will tell Lo-Ammi (‘Not my people’),

You are my people,’

and they’ll say, ‘You’re our God.’ ”[ref]

14 [fn] and_lay _waste vines _of_her and_fig _trees _of_her which she _said are_wage[s] they to_me which they _gave to_me lovers _of_my and_make_them into_forest and_devour_them the _animal[s]_of the_field.
15 [fn] and_punish on/upon_it(f) DOM the _days _of the_Baals when she _made _smoke to/for_them and_decked rings _of_her and_jewelry _of_her and_went after lovers _of_her and_DOM_me she _forgot the _utterance _of YHWH.
16 [fn] for_so/thus/hence here I allure _of_her and_bring _into_her the_wilderness and_speak to[fn][fn][fn] her/its_heart.
17 [fn] and_give to/for_her/it DOM vineyards _of_her from_there and_DOM the _valley _of ˊĀkōr as_door _of hope and_respond there_at as_days _of youth _of_her and_as_day _of[fn] she_ascended out _of_land _of Miʦrayim/(Egypt).
18 [fn] and_it _was in/on/at/with_day (the)_that the _utterance _of YHWH you _will _call husband _of_my and_not you _will _call to_me again baal_my.
19 [fn] and_remove DOM the _names _of the_Baals from_mouth _of_her and_not they _will _be _remembered again in/on/at/with_names _of_their.
20 [fn] and_make to/for_them a _covenant in _the_day (the)_that with the _animal[s]_of the_field and_with the _bird[s]_of the_heavens and_creeping _things _of the_soil and_bow and_sword and_war I _will _break from the_earth/land and_lie _down_them in_safety.
21 [fn] and_betroth_you to_me to_forever and_betroth_you to_me in/on/at/with_righteousness and_in/on/at/with_justice and_in/on/at/with_steadfast _love and_in/on/at/with_compassion.
22 [fn] and_betroth_you to_me in/on/at/with_faithfulness and_know DOM YHWH.
23 [fn] and_it _was in _the_day (the)_that I _will _answer the _utterance _of YHWH I _will _answer DOM the_heavens and_they they _will _answer DOM the_earth/land.

3:1 Yahweh’s love for his people

3 Yahweh told me, “Go again and love a woman who is loved by another man and is an adulteress, even as Yahweh loves the Israeli people, even though they turn to other gods and honour them with raisin cakes.”

2 So I bought her for myself for fifteen silver coins and ten baskets of barley. 3 I told her, “You must stay with me for some time. You mustn’t dabble in prostitution or mess with any other man. In the same way, I’ll be true to you.” 4 because the Israeli people will continue for many days without a king or prince, a sacrifice or stone pillar, and an ephod or household idols. 5 Afterwards, the Israeli people will return and want to follow Yahweh their God and David their king, and in the finals days, they’ll come trembling to Yahweh and to his goodness.
