WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 La palabra del Señor llegó a Oseas, hijo de Beeri, durante los reinados de Uzías, Jotam, Acaz y Ezequías, reyes de Judá, y de Jeroboam, hijo de Joás, rey de Israel.
1 PALABRA de Jehová que fué á Oseas hijo de Beeri, en días de Ozías, Joathán, Achâz, y Ezechîas, reyes de Judá, y en días de Jeroboam hijo de Joas, rey de Israel.
1 Yahweh’s word that came to 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 Cuando el Señor comenzó a hablar por medio de Oseas, le dijo: «Ve, toma por esposa a una prostituta y ten hijos de esa prostitución, porque esta tierra le ha sido infiel al Señor».
2 El principio de la palabra de Jehová con Oseas. Y dijo Jehová á Oseas: Ve, tómate una mujer fornicaria, é hijos de fornicaciones: porque la tierra se dará á fornicar apartándose de Jehová.
2 When Yahweh spoke at first by Hosea, Yahweh said to Hosea, “Go, take for yourself a wife of prostitution and children of unfaithfulness; for the land commits great adultery, forsaking Yahweh.”
3 Entonces se casó con Gomer, hija de Diblaim, y ella dio a luz a un hijo.
3 Fué pues, y tomó á Gomer hija de Diblaim, la cual concibió y le parió un hijo.
3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived, and bore him a son.
4 El Señor le dijo: «Llámalo Jezreel, porque dentro de poco castigaré a la familia de Jehú por la sangre derramada en Jezreel y pondré fin al reino de Israel.
4 Y díjole Jehová: Ponle por nombre Jezreel; porque de aquí á poco yo visitaré las sangres de Jezreel sobre la casa de Jehú, y haré cesar el reino de la casa de Israel.
4 Yahweh said to him, “Call his name Jezreel, for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.
5 Ese día romperé el arco de Israel en el valle de Jezreel».
5 Y acaecerá que en aquel día quebraré yo el arco de Israel en el valle de Jezreel.
5 It will happen in that day that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.”
6 Después ella dio a luz a una hija. El Señor dijo: «Llámala Lo-ruhama, porque ya no tendré misericordia de Israel ni lo perdonaré.
6 Y concibió aún, y parió una hija. Y díjole [Dios]: Ponle por nombre Lo-ruhama: porque no más tendré misericordia de la casa de Israel, sino que los quitaré del todo.
6 She conceived again, and bore a daughter. Then he said to him, “Call her name Lo-Ruhamah, for I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, that I should in any way pardon them.
7 Pero tendré misericordia de Judá y lo salvaré por medio del Señor su Dios. No lo salvaré con arcos, espadas, batallas, caballos ni jinetes».
7 Mas de la casa de Judá tendré misericordia, y salvarélos en Jehová su Dios: y no los salvaré con arco, ni con espada, ni con batalla, ni con caballos ni caballeros.
7 But I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and will save them by Yahweh their God, and will not save them by bow, sword, battle, horses, or horsemen.”
8 Después de destetar a Lo-ruhama, la mujer dio a luz a un hijo.
8 Y después de haber destetado á Lo-ruhama, concibió y parió un hijo.
8 Now when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son.
9 El Señor dijo: «Llámalo Lo-ammi, porque ustedes no son mi pueblo y yo no seré su Dios».
9 Y dijo [Dios]: Ponle por nombre Lo-ammi: porque vosotros no sois mi pueblo, ni yo seré vuestro [Dios].
9 He said, “Call his name Lo-Ammi, for you are not my people, and I will not be yours.
10 Sin embargo, los hijos de Israel serán tan numerosos como la arena del mar, que no se puede medir ni contar. En el lugar donde se les dijo: «Ustedes no son mi pueblo», se les dirá: «Ustedes son hijos del Dios viviente».
10 Con todo será el número de los hijos de Israel como la arena de la mar, que ni se puede medir ni contar. Y será, que donde se les ha dicho: Vosotros no sois mi pueblo, les será dicho: Sois hijos del Dios viviente.
10 Yet the number of the children of Israel will be as the sand of the sea, which can’t be measured or counted; and it will come to pass that, in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’
11 Los hijos de Israel y los hijos de Judá se reunirán, elegirán un solo jefe y subirán de la tierra, porque será grande el día de Jezreel.
11 Y los hijos de Judá y de Israel serán congregados en uno, y levantarán para sí una cabeza, y subirán de la tierra: porque el día de Jezreel será grande.
11 The children of Judah and the children of Israel will be gathered together, and they will appoint themselves one head, and will go up from the land; for great will be the day of Jezreel.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 1:2 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book IV, Chapter XVIII)

    For this reason did Hosea the prophet take "a wife of whoredoms," prophesying by means of the action, "that in committing fornication the earth should fornicate from the Lord," that is, the men who are upon the earth; and from men of this stamp it will be God's good pleasure to take out a Church which shall be sanctified by …

    He says, "And it shall come to pass that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there they shall be called the sons of the living God."
