Amos 2 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 Thus amar (spoke) Yahawah (): “For shalawash (three) pashaiy (transgressions) of Mawaab (Moab), yes, for arabai (four), I will not shawab (turn back / repent) away its punishment; because he sharap (burned) the itzamawath (bones) of the malak (king) of Adawam (Edom) into shayad (lime);

2 But I will shalach (send) a ash (fire) on Mawaab (Moab), and it will akal (eat) the aramanawath (palaces) of Qarayawath (Kerioth); and Mawaab (Moab) will mawath (death) with shaawan (tumult), with tharawaih (shouting), and with the qawal (sound / voice) of the shawapar (Shofar / Ram's horn);

3 And I will karath (cut) off the shapat (judge / judgement) from their qarab (among / near), and will harag (kill) all its shar (prince / ruler) with him,” amar (spoke) Yahawah ().

4 Thus amar (spoke) Yahawah (): “For shalawash (three) pashaiy (transgressions) of Yahawadah (Judah), yes, for arabai (four), I will not shawab (turn back / repent) away its punishment; because they have maas (rejected) Yahawah () thawarah (instruction), and have not shamar (keep/guard) his chaq (statute), and their kazab (lies) have led them thaih (astray), achar (other) which their ab (father) halak (move);

5 But I will shalach (send) a ash (fire) on Yahawadah (Yahawadah / Judah), and it will akal (eat) the aramanawath (palaces) of Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem).”

6 Thus amar (spoke) Yahawah (): “For shalawash (three) pashaiy (transgressions) of Yashar-Al (Israel), yes, for arabai (four), I will not shawab (turn back / repent) away its punishment; because they have makar (sold) the tzadayaq (righteous) for kasap (silver), and the abayawan (needy) for a pair of nailayam (shoes);

7 They trample on the ipar (dust) of the aratz (Earth/land) on the raash (head) of the dal (poor), and deny darak (justice) to the oppressed; and a ayash (man / husband) and his ab (father) use the same nairah (maiden), to chalal (profane) my qadash (set apart / make holy) sham (name);

8 And they natah (lay) themselves down beside every mazabach (altar) on clothes taken in chabal (pledge); and in the bayath (house) of their Alahayam () they shathah (drinks) the yayan (wine) of those who have been fined.

9 Yet I destroyed the Amaray (Amaray / Amorite) panayam (face) them, whose gabah (height) was like the gabah (height) of the arazayam (cedars), and he was chasan (strong) as the alawanayam (oaks); yet I destroyed his paray (fruit) from mail (top/above), and his sharash (roots) from beneath.

10 Also I ilah (go up / offer) you up out of the aratz (Earth/land) of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt), and yalak (led) you arabaiyam (forty) shanah (years) in the madabar (wilderness), to yarash (possess) the aratz (Earth/land) of the Amaray (Amaray / Amorite).

11 I qawam (rise up) up some of your banay (sons) for nabayaayam (prophets), and some of your bachawar (young) men for Nazirites. Isn't this true, you banay (children) of Yashar-Al (Israel)?” Naam (declares prophetically) Yahawah ().

12 “But you gave the Nazirites yayan (wine) to shaqah (drink), and tzawah (commanded) the nabayaayam (prophets), amar (said), ‘Don't nabaa (prophesy)!’

13 Behold, I will iwaq (crush) you in your place, as a igalah (cart) crushes that is full of grain.

14 Manawas (flight) will abad (destroy / perish) from the qal (swift); and the chazaq (strong) won't amatz (strengthen) his kach (strength / mighty / power); neither shall the gabawar (mighty) malat (deliver) himself;

15 Neither shall he imad (stand) who thapash (handles) the qashath (bow); and he who is qal (swift) of ragal (feet / foot) won't malat (escape); neither shall he who rakab (rides) the sawas (horse) malat (deliver) himself;

16 And he who is amayatz (courageous) among the gabawar (mighty) will nawas (flee) away irawam (naked) on that yawam (day),” naam (declares prophetically) Yahawah ().
