OET (OET-LV) And_DOM the_house_of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) I_will_have_compassion_on and_I_will_save_them by_YHWH god_of_their and_not I_will_save_them by_bow and_by_sword and_by_battle by_horses and_by_horsemen.

OET (OET-RV) But I’ll have mercy on 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.)”

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

Paragraph 1:6–7

This paragraph tells about the birth of Gomer’s second child. The meaning of the child’s name, “not loved/pitied,” reinforced the LORD’s promise that he would destroy the northern kingdom of Israel. He promised to show them no mercy. In contrast, the LORD promised to deliver the people of Judah from destruction.

1:7a

Yet I will have compassion on the house of Judah,

Yet I will have compassion on the house of Judah: In contrast to the nation/people of Israel, the LORD will continue to show his compassion to the nation of Judah. This implies that the nation of Judah will not be judged/punished by the LORD at that time.

Yet: The BSB uses the conjunction Yet to introduce the contrast between the LORD’s judgment of Israel in 1:6 and his compassion toward Judah here in 1:7. Some versions use “but” or “instead.” You should introduce this contrast in a natural way in your language.

have compassion: This is the same verb that was used in 1:6c. You should translate it in the same way.

the house of Judah: This phrase is a figure of speech. It refers here to the people of the nation of Judah, the southern kingdom. See how you translated the similar expression “house of Israel” in 1:6c.

1:7b

and I will save them—

and I will save them: In this context, this phrase does not refer to spiritual salvation. The LORD promises here to save or rescue them from defeat by their enemies in battle.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

I will deliver them (NET)

I will free them from their enemies (NLT)

I will rescue them (GW)

1:7c

not by bow or sword or war, not by horses and cavalry,

not by bow or sword or war, not by horses and cavalry: The bow and the sword were the main instruments used in war at that time. The horses and cavalry (the men who rode the horses or drove the chariots into battle) were the strongest units in an army. By mentioning these weapons, horses, and cavalry, the LORD compared his power to the strongest human army and implied that he is stronger.

In some cultures, people may not be familiar with these weapons and the use of horses in war. If that is true in your culture, you may need to make the meaning more explicit. For example:

I will not do it by war—with swords or bows and arrows or with horses and horsemen (GNT)

I will personally free them from their enemies without any help from weapons or armies (NLT)

1:7d

but by the LORD their God.”

but by the LORD their God: The LORD indicated that he will not be using a human army as his instrument to save Judah. Instead, he will do it personally with his own power.

Here is another way to translate this phrase:

but by my power as the LORD their God

General Comment on 1:7a–d

In some languages, it may be more natural to change the order of these verse parts. For example:

But I am the Lord God of Judah, and I will have mercy and save Judah by my own power—not by wars and arrows or swords and cavalry. (CEV)

Arrange this information in a natural order in your language.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וְ⁠אֶת־בֵּ֤ית יְהוּדָה֙ אֲרַחֵ֔ם

and=DOM house_of Yehuda have_compassion_on

Yahweh uses the word But here to indicate a contrast between what he will do to Israel, the northern kingdom, and what he will do to Judah, of the southern kingdom. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [In contrast, I will have compassion on the house of Judah]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בֵּ֤ית יְהוּדָה֙

house_of Yehuda

Yahweh is speaking as if the people of Judah were a house in which they all lived together. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [those who belong to the tribe of Judah]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

אֲרַחֵ֔ם

have_compassion_on

See how you translated the similar phrase “to have compassion on” in [1:6](../01/06.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

וְ⁠הֽוֹשַׁעְתִּ֖י⁠ם בַּ⁠יהוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵי⁠הֶ֑ם

and,I,will_save_them by,Yahweh God_of,their

Yahweh is speaking of himself in the third person as Yahweh their God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [and I myself will save them as their God]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

אֱלֹֽהֵי⁠הֶ֑ם

God_of,their

Yahweh is not using the possessive form their God to indicate that the people of Judah possess or control Yahweh but rather to emphasize that Yahweh is the God that they worship. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [,the God whom the people of Judah worship]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠קֶ֤שֶׁת וּ⁠בְ⁠חֶ֨רֶב֙ וּ⁠בְ⁠מִלְחָמָ֔ה בְּ⁠סוּסִ֖ים וּ⁠בְ⁠פָרָשִֽׁים

by,bow and,by,sword and,by,battle by,horses and,by,horsemen

Here the list of words, bow, sword, battle, horses, and horsemen all represent warfare and military strength. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [by warfare or by military strength]
