Hosea 7

New American Bible	Peshitta ܦܫܝܼܛܬܵܐ
¹ When I would bring about the restoration of my people, when I would heal Israel, The guilt of Ephraim stands out, the wickedness of Samaria; They practice falsehood, thieves break in, bandits plunder abroad.	¹ ܡܐ ܕܐܣܝܬ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܬܓܠܝ ܥܘܠܗ ܕܐܦܪܝܡ ܘܒܝܫܬܗ ܕܫܡܪܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܫܘܩܪܐ ܩܕܡܝ ܘܓܢܒܐ ܥܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܫܠܚ ܓܝܣܐ ܒܫܘܩܐ
² Yet they do not remind themselves that I remember all their wickedness. Even now their crimes surround them, present to my sight.	² ܘܠܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܕܟܠܗܝܢ ܒܝܫܬܗܘܢ ܥܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܡܟܝܠ ܢܚܕܪܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܨܢܥܬܗܘܢ ܕܗܘܝ ܩܕܡ ܐܦܝ
³ In their wickedness they regale the king, the princes too, with their deceits.	³ ܒܒܝܫܘܬܗܘܢ ܚܕܝܘ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܘܒܕܓܠܘܬܗܘܢ
⁴ They are all kindled to wrath like a blazing oven, Whose fire the baker desists from stirring once the dough is kneaded until it has risen.	⁴ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܫܠܝܛܢܝܗܘܢ ܓܝܪܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܬܢܘܪܐ ܕܝܩܕ ܠܡܐܦܝܬܐ ܢܒܛܠ ܡܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܠܐܫ ܠܝܫܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܚܡܥ
⁵ On the day of our king, the princes are overcome with the heat of wine. He extends his hand among dissemblers;	⁵ ܝܘܡܐ ܕܡܠܟܝܢ ܫܪܝܘ ܪܘܪܒܢܐ ܠܡܪܓܙ ܡܢ ܚܡܪܐ ܢܓܕܘ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܥܡ ܒܝܫܐ
⁶ the plotters approach with hearts like ovens. All the night their anger sleeps; in the morning it flares like a blazing fire.	⁶ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܡ ܠܒܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܬܢܘܪܐ ܒܟܡܐܢܗܘܢ ܘܟܠܗ ܠܠܝܐ ܥܬܩ ܪܘܓܙܗܘܢ ܘܒܨܦܪܐ ܝܩܕ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܢܘܪܐ ܘܫܠܗܒܝܬܐ
⁷ They are all heated like ovens, and consume their rulers. All their kings have fallen; none of them calls upon me.	⁷ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܚܡܘ ܐܝܟ ܬܢܘܪܐ ܘܐܟܠܘ ܠܕܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܠܟܝܗܘܢ ܢܦܠܘ ܘܠܝܬ ܒܗܘܢ ܕܩܪܐ ܠܝ
⁸ Ephraim mingles with the nations, Ephraim is a hearth cake unturned.	⁸ ܐܦܪܝܡ ܒܥܡܡܐ ܐܬܚܠܛ ܐܦܪܝܡ ܗܘܐ ܚܚܘܪܬܐ ܕܥܕܠܐ ܐܬܐܦܝܬ ܐܬܐܟܠܬ
⁹ Strangers have sapped his strength, but he takes no notice of it; Of gray hairs, too, there is a sprinkling, but he takes no notice of it.	⁹ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܟܠܘ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܗ ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܘܚܘܪܬܐ ܢܦܩ ܠܗ ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥ
¹⁰ The arrogance of Israel bears witness against him; yet they do not return to the LORD, their God, nor seek him, for all that.	¹⁰ ܘܐܬܡܟܟ ܐܝܩܪܗ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܘܠܐ ܐܬܦܢܝܘ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܒܥܐܘܗܝ
¹¹ Ephraim is like a dove, silly and senseless; They call upon Egypt, they go to Assyria.	¹¹ ܘܗܘܐ ܐܦܪܝܡ ܐܝܟ ܝܘܢܐ ܫܒܪܬܐ ܕܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܠܒܐ ܠܡܨܪܝܢ ܐܬܘ ܘܠܐܬܘܪ ܐܙܠܘ
¹² Even as they go I will spread my net around them, like birds in the air I will bring them down. In an instant I will send them captive from their land.	¹² ܠܐܬܪ ܕܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܐܦܪܘܣ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܡܨܝܕܬܝ ܘܐܝܟ ܦܪܚܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܐܚܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܪܕܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܫܡܥܐ ܕܣܗܕܘܬܗܘܢ
¹³ Woe to them, they have strayed from me! Ruin to them, they have sinned against me! Though I wished to redeem them, they spoke lies against me.	¹³ ܘܝ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܢܕܘ ܡܢܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܝܬܐ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܥܠ ܕܐܥܠܝܘ ܒܝ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܦܪܩܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܡܠܠܘ ܥܠܝ ܕܓܠܘܬܐ
¹⁴ They have not cried to me from their hearts when they wailed upon their beds; For wheat and wine they lacerated themselves, while they rebelled against me.	¹⁴ ܘܠܐ ܓܥܘ ܠܘܬܝ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܠܒܗܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܠܠܘ ܥܠ ܡܫܟܒܗܘܢ ܥܠ ܥܒܘܪܐ ܘܥܠ ܚܡܪܐ ܡܬܟܬܫܝܢ ܘܡܪܕܘ ܒܝ
¹⁵ Though I trained and strengthened their arms, yet they devised evil against me.	¹⁵ ܘܐܢܐ ܪܕܝܬ ܘܐܥܫܢܬ ܕܪܥܗܘܢ ܘܥܠܝ ܐܬܚܫܒܘ ܒܝܫܬܐ
¹⁶ They have again become useless, like a treacherous bow. Their princes shall fall by the sword because of the insolence of their tongues; thus they shall be mocked in the land of Egypt.	¹⁶ ܐܬܗܦܟܘ ܥܠ ܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܘܗܘܘ ܐܝܟ ܩܫܬܐ ܢܟܝܠܬܐ ܢܦܠܘܢ ܒܚܪܒܐ ܪܘܪܒܢܝܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܪܚܘܬܐ ܕܠܫܢܗܘܢ ܗܢܘ ܥܘܪܙܠܗܘܢ ܕܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ
