Hosea 8

NEW JERUSALEM	Peshitta
1 Put the trumpet to your lips! Like an eagle, disaster is swooping on Yahweh's home! Because they haveviolated my covenant and been unfaithful to my Law,	1 ܦܘܡܟ ܐܝܟ ܩܪܢܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܢܫܪܐ ܥܠ ܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܕܥܒܪܘ ܥܠ ܩܝܡܝ ܘܥܠ ܢܡܘܣܝ ܐܥܠܝܘ
2 in vain wil they cry, 'My God!' In vain, 'We, Israel, know you!'	2 ܠܝ ܩܪܘ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܝܕܥܢܟ ܐܠܗܢ
3 Israel has rejected the good, the enemy will pursue them.	3 ܛܥܐ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܪܕܦ ܐܢܘܢ
4 They have set up kings, but without my consent, and appointed princes, but without my knowledge.With their silver and gold, they have made themselves idols, but only to be destroyed.	4 ܐܡܠܟܘ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܡܢܝ ܘܐܫܬܠܛܘ ܘܠܐ ܐܘܕܥܘܢܝ ܣܐܡܗܘܢ ܘܕܗܒܗܘܢ ܥܒܕܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܬܟܪܐ ܕܢܐܒܕܘܢ
5 I spurn your calf, Samaria! My anger blazes against them! How long wil it be before they recover theirinnocence?	5 ܛܥܘ ܒܥܓܠܟܝ ܫܡܪܝܢ ܘܐܬܚܡܬ ܪܘܓܙܝ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܡܬܝ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܠܡܙܟܐ
6 For it is the product of Israel- a craftsman made the thing, it is no god at al ! The calf of Samaria wil bebroken to pieces!	6 ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܗܘ ܘܢܓܪܐ ܗܘ ܥܒܕܗ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܛܥܝܘܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܥܓܠܟܝ ܫܡܪܝܢ
7 Since they sow the wind, they will reap the whirlwind; stalk without ear, it wil never yield flour- or if itdoes, foreigners will swallow it.	7 ܡܛܠ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܙܪܥܘ ܘܥܠܥܠܐ ܚܨܕܘ ܘܩܝܡܬܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܦ ܠܐ ܫܒܠܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܩܡܚܐ ܘܐܠܘ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ
8 Israel has himself been swal owed; now they are lost among the nations like something no one wants,	8 ܐܬܒܠܥ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܡܟܝܠ ܗܘܘ ܒܥܡܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܐܢܐ ܕܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܚܫܚܘ
9 for having made approaches to Assyria- like a wild donkey, al alone. Ephraim has rented lovers	9 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܣܠܩܘ ܠܐܬܘܪ ܐܝܟ ܥܪܕܐ ܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܐܦܪܝܡ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܪܚܡ
10 and because he has rented them from the nations I am now going to round them up; soon they wilfeel the weight of the king of princes!	10 ܐܦܢ ܢܫܬܠܡܘܢ ܒܥܡܡܐ ܐܟܢܫ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܢܬܬܢܝܚܘܢ ܩܠܝܠ ܡܢ ܫܩܠܐ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܘܕܫܠܝܛܢܐ
11 Ephraim keeps building altars for his sins, these very altars are themselves a sin.	11 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܣܓܝ ܐܦܪܝܡ ܡܕܒܚܐ ܠܚܛܝܬܐ ܘܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܡܕܒܚܐ ܠܚܛܗܐ ܪܒܐ
12 However much of my Law I write for him, Ephraim regards it as alien to him.	12 ܘܟܬܒܬ ܠܗ ܣܘܓܐܐ ܕܢܡܘܣܝ ܘܐܝܟ ܢܘܟܪܝܬܐ ܚܫܒ ܐܢܝܢ ܠܡܠܝ
13 They offer sacrifices to me and eat the meat, they do not win Yahweh's favour. On the contrary, he wilremember their guilt and punish their sins; they wil have to go back to Egypt.	13 ܕܒܚܐ ܕܓܒܝܬܐ ܡܕܒܚܝܢ ܘܒܣܪܐ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܘܡܪܝܐ ܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܡܟܝܠ ܢܬܕܟܪ ܥܘܠܗܘܢ ܘܢܦܩܘܕ ܚܛܗܝܗܘܢ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܠܡܨܪܝܢ ܢܗܦܟܘܢ
14 Israel has forgotten his Maker and has built palaces, while Judah keeps on building fortified towns; butI shal send fire down on his cities to devour their citadels.	14 ܛܥܐ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܠܡܢ ܕܥܒܕܗ ܘܒܢܐ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܝܗܘܕܐ ܐܣܓܝ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܥܫܝܢܬܐ ܐܫܒܘܩ ܢܘܪܐ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܗ ܘܬܐܟܘܠ ܣܚܪܬܗ
