Hosea 8

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Peshitta
1 Set the trumpet to your lips, for a vulture is over the house of the LORD, because they have broken my covenant, and transgressed my law.	1 ܦܘܡܟ ܐܝܟ ܩܪܢܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܢܫܪܐ ܥܠ ܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܕܥܒܪܘ ܥܠ ܩܝܡܝ ܘܥܠ ܢܡܘܣܝ ܐܥܠܝܘ
2 To me they cry, My God, we Israel know thee.	2 ܠܝ ܩܪܘ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܝܕܥܢܟ ܐܠܗܢ
3 Israel has spurned the good; the enemy shall pursue him.	3 ܛܥܐ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܪܕܦ ܐܢܘܢ
4 They made kings, but not through me. They set up princes, but without my knowledge. With their silver and gold they made idols for their own destruction.	4 ܐܡܠܟܘ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܡܢܝ ܘܐܫܬܠܛܘ ܘܠܐ ܐܘܕܥܘܢܝ ܣܐܡܗܘܢ ܘܕܗܒܗܘܢ ܥܒܕܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܬܟܪܐ ܕܢܐܒܕܘܢ
5 I have spurned your calf, O Samaria. My anger burns against them. How long will it be till they are pure	5 ܛܥܘ ܒܥܓܠܟܝ ܫܡܪܝܢ ܘܐܬܚܡܬ ܪܘܓܙܝ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܡܬܝ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܠܡܙܟܐ
6 in Israel? A workman made it; it is not God. The calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces.	6 ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܗܘ ܘܢܓܪܐ ܗܘ ܥܒܕܗ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܛܥܝܘܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܥܓܠܟܝ ܫܡܪܝܢ
7 For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. The standing grain has no heads, it shall yield no meal; if it were to yield, aliens would devour 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 is swallowed up; already they are among the nations as a useless vessel.	8 ܐܬܒܠܥ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܡܟܝܠ ܗܘܘ ܒܥܡܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܐܢܐ ܕܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܚܫܚܘ
9 For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild ass wandering alone; Ephraim has hired lovers.	9 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܣܠܩܘ ܠܐܬܘܪ ܐܝܟ ܥܪܕܐ ܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܐܦܪܝܡ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܪܚܡ
10 Though they hire allies among the nations, I will soon gather them up. And they shall cease for a little while from anointing king and princes.	10 ܐܦܢ ܢܫܬܠܡܘܢ ܒܥܡܡܐ ܐܟܢܫ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܢܬܬܢܝܚܘܢ ܩܠܝܠ ܡܢ ܫܩܠܐ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܘܕܫܠܝܛܢܐ
11 Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they have become to him altars for sinning.	11 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܣܓܝ ܐܦܪܝܡ ܡܕܒܚܐ ܠܚܛܝܬܐ ܘܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܡܕܒܚܐ ܠܚܛܗܐ ܪܒܐ
12 Were I to write for him my laws by ten thousands, they would be regarded as a strange thing.	12 ܘܟܬܒܬ ܠܗ ܣܘܓܐܐ ܕܢܡܘܣܝ ܘܐܝܟ ܢܘܟܪܝܬܐ ܚܫܒ ܐܢܝܢ ܠܡܠܝ
13 They love sacrifice; they sacrifice flesh and eat it; but the LORD has no delight in them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins; they shall return to Egypt.	13 ܕܒܚܐ ܕܓܒܝܬܐ ܡܕܒܚܝܢ ܘܒܣܪܐ ܐܟܠܝܢ ܘܡܪܝܐ ܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܡܟܝܠ ܢܬܕܟܪ ܥܘܠܗܘܢ ܘܢܦܩܘܕ ܚܛܗܝܗܘܢ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܠܡܨܪܝܢ ܢܗܦܟܘܢ
14 For Israel has forgotten his Maker, and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour his strongholds.	14 ܛܥܐ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܠܡܢ ܕܥܒܕܗ ܘܒܢܐ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܝܗܘܕܐ ܐܣܓܝ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܥܫܝܢܬܐ ܐܫܒܘܩ ܢܘܪܐ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܗ ܘܬܐܟܘܠ ܣܚܪܬܗ
