Hosea 1
1 ಯೆಹೂದದ ಅರಸುಗಳಾದ ಉಜ್ಜೀಯ, ಯೋಥಾಮ, ಆಹಾಜ, ಹಿಜ್ಕೀಯ, ಇವರ ದಿನಗಳಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲಿನ ಅರಸನೂ ಯೋವಾಷನ ಮಗನೂ ಆದ ಯಾರೊಬ್ಬಾಮನ ದಿನಗಳಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಬೆಯೇರಿಯನ ಮಗನಾದ ಹೋಶೇ ಯನಿಗೆ ಕರ್ತನ ವಾಕ್ಯವು ಬಂತು.
2 ಹೊಶೇಯನಿಂದಾದ ಕರ್ತನ ವಾಕ್ಯದ ಪ್ರಾರಂ ಭವು: ಕರ್ತನು ಹೊಶೇಯನಿಗೆ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದೇನಂದರೆ --ಹೋಗಿ ನಿನಗೆ ವ್ಯಭಿಚಾರಿಣಿಗಳ ಹೆಂಡತಿಯನ್ನೂ ವ್ಯಭಿಚಾರಿಣಿಗಳ ಮಕ್ಕಳನ್ನೂ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊ; ದೇಶವು ಕರ್ತನನ್ನು ಬಿಟ್ಟು ದೊಡ್ಡ ವ್ಯಭಿಚಾರತನವನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡಿದೆ.
3 ಆಗ ಅವನು ಹೋಗಿ ದಿಬ್ಲಯಿ ಮನ ಮಗಳಾದ ಗೋಮೆರಳನ್ನು ಮದುವೆಯಾದನು; ಅವಳು ಗರ್ಭಿಣಿಯಾಗಿ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಮಗನನ್ನು ಹೆತ್ತಳು.
4 ಆಗ ಕರ್ತನು ಅವನಿಗೆ--ಅವನನ್ನು ಇಜ್ರೇಲ್‌ ಎಂಬ ಹೆಸರಿನಿಂದ ಕರೆ. ಇನ್ನೂ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ನಾನು ಇಜ್ರೇಲಿನ ರಕ್ತವನ್ನು ಯೆಹೂವಿನ ಮನೆತನದವರ ಮೇಲೆ ಸೇಡು ತೀರಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವೆನು; ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲಿನ ಮನೆತನದ ರಾಜ್ಯವು ನಿಂತುಹೋಗುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡು ವೆನು.
5 ಆ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ ಆಗುವದೇನಂದರೆ--ನಾನು ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲಿನ ಬಿಲ್ಲನ್ನು ಇಜ್ರೇಲಿನ ತಗ್ಗಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಮುರಿದು ಹಾಕುವೆನು ಅಂದನು.
6 ಅವಳು ತಿರುಗಿ ಬಸುರಾಗಿ ಮಗಳನ್ನು ಹೆತ್ತಳು. ಆಗ ದೇವರು ಅವನಿಗೆ-- ಅವಳನ್ನು ಲೋರುಹಾಮ ಎಂಬ ಹೆಸರಿನಿಂದ ಕರೆ; ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ನಾನು ಇನ್ನು ಮೇಲೆ ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲಿನ ಮನೆತನ ದವರನ್ನು ಕರುಣಿಸುವದೇ ಇಲ್ಲ; ಆದರೆ ನಾನು ಅವರನ್ನು ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿ ತೆಗೆದುಬಿಡುತ್ತೇನೆ.
7 ನಾನು ಯೆಹೂದದ ಮನೆತನದವರನ್ನು ಕರುಣಿಸಿ ಅವರನ್ನು ಬಿಲ್ಲಿನಿಂದಲಾದರೂ ಕತ್ತಿಯಿಂದಲಾದರೂ ಯುದ್ಧದಿಂದಲಾದರೂ ಕುದುರೆಗಳಿಂದಲಾದರೂ ಇಲ್ಲವೆ ಕುದುರೆಯ ಸವಾರರಿಂದಲಾದರೂ ರಕ್ಷಿಸು ವದಿಲ್ಲ; ಆದರೆ ಅವರನ್ನು ಅವರ ದೇವರಾದ ಕರ್ತ ನಿಂದ ರಕ್ಷಿಸುವೆನು ಅಂದನು.
8 ಆಕೆಯು ಲೊರು ಹಾಮಳನ್ನು ಮೊಲೆ ಬಿಡಿಸಿದ ಮೇಲೆ ಗರ್ಭಿಣಿಯಾಗಿ ಒಬ್ಬ ಮಗನನ್ನು ಹೆತ್ತಳು.
9 ಆಗ ದೇವರು--ಅವನ ಹೆಸರನ್ನು ಲೋ ಅಮ್ಮಿ ಎಂದು ಕರೆ, ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ನೀವು ನನ್ನ ಜನರಲ್ಲ, ನಾನು ನಿಮ್ಮ ದೇವರಾಗಿರುವದಿಲ್ಲ ಅಂದನು.
10 ಆದಾಗ್ಯೂ ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲಿನ ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಸಂಖ್ಯೆ ಅಳೆಯಲೂ ಲೆಕ್ಕಿಸಲೂ ಆಗದ ಸಮುದ್ರದ ಮರಳಿನ ಹಾಗೆ ಇರುವದು; ಮುಂದೆ ಇದಾದ ಮೇಲೆ--ನನ್ನ ಜನರಲ್ಲವೆಂದು ಅವರಿಗೆ ಹೇಳಿದ ಸ್ಥಳದಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ಜೀವವುಳ್ಳ ದೇವರ ಕುಮಾರರೆಂದು ಅವರಿಗೆ ಹೇಳುವರು.
11 ಆಗ ಯೆಹೂದದ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಮತ್ತು ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲಿನ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಒಟ್ಟುಗೂಡಿಕೊಂಡು ತಮಗೆ ಒಬ್ಬನನ್ನೇ ಶಿರಸ್ಸನ್ನಾಗಿ ನೇಮಕಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವರು; ದೇಶದೊಳಗಿಂದ ಹೊರಗೆ ಬರುವರು, ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ಇಜ್ರೇಲಿನ ಸುದಿನವು ಅತಿ ವಿಶೇಷವಾಗಿರುವದು ಅಂದನು.
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 Lo-ruhamah: 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 Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.
9 Then said God, Call his name Lo-ammi: 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.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baal-zephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
4 And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord. And they did so.
5 And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
8 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.
9 But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord.
11 And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
12 Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
15 And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
17 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
26 And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
30 Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
31 And Israel saw that great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord, and his servant Moses.
