OET interlinear AMOS 4:5

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / irony

(Occurrence 0) Offer a thanksgiving sacrifice … proclaim freewill offerings; announce them, for this pleases

(Some words not found in UHB: and,make_smoke from,leaven thank_offering and,proclaim freewill_offerings publish that/for/because/then/when so love sons_of Yisrael declares_of my=master LORD's )

God makes these commands in order to show the people that even though they do these things, he is angry because they continue to sin against him in other ways. Use the form in your language that shows that they will do these things no matter what Yahweh says, but these things will do them no good.

(Occurrence 0) announce them

(Some words not found in UHB: and,make_smoke from,leaven thank_offering and,proclaim freewill_offerings publish that/for/because/then/when so love sons_of Yisrael declares_of my=master LORD's )

Alternate translation: [boast about them]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) for this pleases you, you people of Israel

(Some words not found in UHB: and,make_smoke from,leaven thank_offering and,proclaim freewill_offerings publish that/for/because/then/when so love sons_of Yisrael declares_of my=master LORD's )

Yahweh rebukes them for being proud about their offerings and sacrifices. They think that God should be pleased with them, but he is not. Alternate translation: [for this pleases you, you people of Israel. But it does not please me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠קַטֵּ֤ר מֵֽ⁠חָמֵץ֙

and,make_smoke from,leaven

Amos assumes that readers will know that Yahweh had forbidden any burning of bread that contains yeast as a sacrifice to him ([Leviticus 2:11](../../lev/02/11.md)). You could include this information in a footnote if that would be helpful to your readers.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠קִרְא֥וּ נְדָב֖וֹת

and,proclaim freewill_offerings

The phrase call out freewill offerings could mean: (1) that people were to publicly announce when they brought a gift to Yahweh. This would be against the purpose of these offerings which were to be given whenever someone wanted to give something to Yahweh. (2) that people would be required to bring freewill offerings. This would be the opposite of the meaning of freewill offerings, but perhaps what the people were doing. Alternate translation: [and announce that I require freewill offerings]
