Amos 4 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 Shamai (hearken / hear) to this dabar (word / matter), you parawath (cows) of Bashan (Bashan), who are on the har (mountain) of Shamarawan (Samaria), who ishaq (oppress) the dal (poor), who ratzatz (crush) the abayawan (needy), who amar (said) their adawan (master / lord), “bawaa (bring) us nashathah (drinks)!”

2 The Adanay () Yahawah () has shabai (swear / take oath) by his qadash (set apart / make holy) that behold, “The yamayam (days) shall bawaa (come) on you that they will nashaa (lift) you away with tzanawath (hooks), and the acharayath (last) of you with fish tzanawath (hooks).

3 You will yatzaa (go out / come out) out at the breaks in the wall, everyone straight before her; and you will shalak (cast) yourselves into Haramawan (Harmon),” naam (declares prophetically) Yahawah ().

4 “Bawaa (bring) to Bayath-Al (Bethel), and pashai (sin); to Galagal (Gilgal), and pashai (sin) more. Bawaa (bring) your zabach (sacrifices) every baqar (morning), your maishar (tithes) every shalawash (three) yamayam (days),

5 Qatar (offer) a qatar (sacrifice) of thanksgiving of that which is chamatz (leavened), and qaraa (called) free will nadabawath (offerings) and brag about them: for kan (for sure) pleases you, you banay (children) of Yashar-Al (Israel),” naam (declares prophetically) the Adanay () Yahawah ().

6 “I also nathan (give) given you naqayawan (cleanness) of shanayam (teeth) in all your iyar (cities), and lack of lacham (bread) in every town; yet you haven't shawab (turn back / repent) to me,” naam (declares prophetically) Yahawah ().

7 “I also have withheld the gasham (rain) from you, when there were yet shalawash (three) chadashayam (months) to the qatzayar (harvest); and I caused it to matar (rain) on achad (one) iyar (city), and caused it not to matar (rain) on another iyar (city). Achad (one) chalaqah (place) was matar (rained) on, and the chalaqah (piece) where it didn't matar (rain) yabash (dry land).

8 So shanayam (two) or shalawash (three) irayam (cities) nawai (staggered) to achad (one) iyar (city) to shathah (drinks) mayam (Waters), and were not shabai (satisfied): yet you haven't shawab (turn back / repent) to me,” naam (declares prophetically) Yahawah ().

9 “I nakah (struck) you with blight and mildew many times in your ganah (gardens) and your karam (vineyards); and your thaan (fig) trees and your zayath (olive) trees have the swarming locust akal (eat): yet you haven't shawab (turn back / repent) to me,” naam (declares prophetically) Yahawah ().

10 “I shalach (send) dabar (word / matter) among you like I did Matzarayam (Egypt). I have harag (kill) your bachawar (young) men with the charab (sword), and have carried shabay (away) your sawas (horses); and I filled your ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting) with the stench of your machanah (camp), yet you haven't shawab (turn back / repent) to me,” naam (declares prophetically) Yahawah ().

11 “I have overthrown some of you, as when Alahayam () mahapakah (overthrew) Sadam (Sodom) and Imarah (Gomorrah), and you were like a burning stick natzal (plucked) out of the sharapah (fire); yet you haven't shawab (turn back / repent) to me,” naam (declares prophetically) Yahawah ().

12 “Therefore thus will I ishah (make) to you, Yashar-Al (Israel); iqab (award / effect after the cause) I will ishah (make) this to you, kawan (prepare) to qaraah (meet) your Alahayam (), Yashar-Al (Israel).

13 For, behold, he who yatzar (forms) the harayam (mountains), and baraa (created) the rawach (spirit / wind), and nagad (declares) to adam (man) what is his shach (thought); who ishah (make) the shachar (morning) iyapah (darkness), and darak (treads) on the bamah (high) places of the aratz (Earth/land): Yahawah (), the Alahayam () of tzabaawath (armies), is his sham (name).”
