Ov rídfu, ha’adam al’ ha’adam- Or
following, man on earth

Lo ha’tora’, lo ha’hesed- Not

Et _am ha’Feanaro. And from
the people of Feanaro.

ĺm ata’ va’hilkhadtem, miyadikhem – If you cause to be taken from our hands

Matsatem, vahiyarashtem, vahishalakhtem ha silmralim’- If you find, if you cause to be stolen, if
you cast away the silmarils-

we swear to the heavens.

Bayom hahu, vaharag bíyadoténu. – On that day, you will die by the cause of our hands.

Ha’tsara’ _ad ha’qétsat ha’adama- Woe unto the ending of the world

Al’ har kadésh, – Upon the
holy mountain

Shma, anakhnu – Hear us

Varda, Manwe! – Varda,
Manwe!

So here, at last, is my Ancient Hebrew translation of the Oath of Feanor! I obviously still need do the write-out in the actual script and maybe an audio version (it sounds pretty badass, I can tell you) but this is the phonetic transcription. Fun details:

Ancient Hebrew actually has a word meaning “the shadow of mortal death”, so that made an AWESOME substitute for “doom”.

“To us” and “we have” are the same, so “the shadow of mortal death to us” also means “we have the shadow of mortal death [already]”. Welp.

“Adam” means both “man/mankind” and “earth/ the earth” so “man upon the earth” turned out awesome- al ha’adam ha’adam. 

Maiar is feminine.

Silmaril gets the appropriate vowel shortenings in the plural, so silmralim’.
