SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:2–9: Hosea married an unfaithful wife and fathered three children

The LORD commanded Hosea to marry Gomer. She was an immoral woman who would be unfaithful to him. Her unfaithfulness illustrated Israel’s unfaithfulness to the LORD. The LORD also commanded Hosea to give their three children names that would serve as warnings of future judgments.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Hosea’s wife and children (GNT)

Hosea’s marriage symbolized the LORD’s relationship to Israel

1:3a

So Hosea went and married Gomer daughter of Diblaim,

¶ So Hosea obeyed Yahweh. He went and married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim.
¶ So Hosea did what Yahweh wanted. He got married to a woman named Gomer who was the daughter/child of Diblaim.

So: Verses 1:2 and 1:3 are connected by a Hebrew word that English versions translate as So. In this context, this word expresses result. Hosea married Gomer as a result of the LORD’s command to him in 1:2b. Use a natural way in your language to introduce a result.

Hosea went and married: The Hebrew verbs that the BSB translates as Hosea went and married are literally “he went and he took.” These repeat the verbs of the LORD’s command to Hosea in 1:2b, “Go, take.” Many English versions follow the Hebrew pattern of repeating the same verbs in both places. For example, the RSV has “Go and take” for the command in 1:2b and “he went and took” in 1:3. Other versions have “marry” in both places. You may wish to repeat the same verbs here that you used in 1:2b in order to highlight Hosea’s complete obedience to the LORD’s command.

Gomer daughter of Diblaim: This is the first time that Gomer is mentioned in this book. In some languages, it may be more natural to introduce her in a slightly different way. For example:

a woman named Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim (GNT)

Use a natural way in your language to introduce a new participant in the story.

1:3b

and she conceived and bore him a son.

Afterwards Gomer became pregnant and gave birth to a/their son.
After the birth of their first child, a son/male,

and she conceived and bore him a son: This clause implies that Hosea was the child’s father. There are different ways to make this clear and at the same time to express the idea of conceiving a child. For example:

she became pregnant and gave birth to Hosea’s son (NCV)

After the birth of their first child, a son (GNT)

In languages that do not use a gender-specific word such as son, you may need to use a phrase such as “male child.”

If you referred to Hosea in 1:1–2 with “I” or “me,” you may be able to translate this verse as the CEV has done:

So I married Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and we had a son. (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

גֹּ֖מֶר בַּת־דִּבְלָ֑יִם

Gomer daughter_of Diⱱlayim

Here Hosea is introducing Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim as a new participant in the story. Your language may have its own way of introducing new participants that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [a woman named Gomer who was the daughter of Diblaim,]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential

וַ⁠תַּ֥הַר וַ⁠תֵּֽלֶד־ל֖⁠וֹ בֵּֽן

and=she/it_conceived/became_pregnant and=she/it_gave_birth to=him/it son

This event did not happen right after Hosea married Gomer. Your language may have a connecting phrase that you can use to show this. Alternate translation: [and after some time, she conceived and bore a son to him]
