Since NAP never gives the meaning of the words of power it makes you use, I research them before implementing them in my operations. When I was checking the chant to win contests, I managed to decipher the words the book asked me to chant as “Shema Amathia.” The “Shema” part is fine because it simply means ‘Listen’ in Hebrew, but the strange part comes with “Amathia.” Upon researching it, I realized that it is a Greek word meaning “Ignorant,” more specifically used for someone who refuses to learn out of stubbornness. So the phrase, being a mixture of Hebrew and Greek, would mean something like “Listen to me, ignorant one,” which seems too strange to me because it seems to ask me to insult the entity I am asking for help (Labezerin), and that makes me quite uncomfortable. Can anyone clarify this for me in some way?
Update: I’ve discovered that it’s most likely not the Hebrew word “shema” but the Greek word “schema,” which would make the phrase something like “shape of the ignorant.” That still confuses me, so I’m still asking for help, if anyone can offer it.
What do you mean by “decipher”? I’m not sure these are meant to be translated into modern language, as it’s a spirit’s name…? 
We have a few posts about NAP words of power, but this is in only 2 of them.

Lesser Key of Solomon text:
I DO invocate, conjure, and command thee, O thou Spirit N., to appear and to show thyself visibly unto me before this Circle in fair and comely shape, without any deformity or tortuosity; by the name and in the name IAH and VAU, which Adam heard and spake; and by the name Of GOD, AGLA, which Lot heard and was saved with his family; and by the name IOTH, which Jacob heard from the angel wrestling with him, and was delivered from the hand of Esau his brother; and by the name ANAPHAXETON which Aaron heard and spake and was made wise; and by the name ZABAOTH, which Moses named and all the rivers were turned into blood; and by the name ASHER EHYEH ORISTON, which Moses named, and all the rivers brought forth frogs, and they ascended into the houses, destroying all things; and by the name ELION, which Moses named, and there was great hail such as had not been since the beginning of the world; and by the name ADONAI, which Moses named, and there came up locusts, which appeared upon the whole land, and devoured all which the hail had left;
and by the name SCHEMA AMATHIA which Ioshua called upon, and the sun stayed his course;
and by the name ALPHA and OMEGA, which Daniel named, and destroyed Bel, and slew the Dragon; and in the name EMMANUEL, which the three children, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, sang in the midst of the fiery furnace, and were delivered; and by the name HAGIOS; and by the SEAL 1 OF ADONI; and by ISCHYROS, ATHANATOS, PARACLETOS; and by O THEOS, ICTROS, ATHANATOS; and by these three secret names, AGLA, ON, TETRAGRAMMATON, do I adjure and constrain thee. And by these names, and by all the other names of the LIVING and TRUE GOD, the LORD ALMIGHTY, I do exorcise and command thee, O Spirit N., even by Him Who spake the Word and it was done, and to Whom all creatures are obedient; and by the dreadful judgments of GOD; and by the uncertain Sea of Glass, which is before the DIVINE MAJESTY, mighty and powerful; by the four beasts before the throne, having eyes before and behind; by the fire round about the throne; by the holy angels of Heaven; and by the mighty wisdom of GOD; I do potently exorcise thee, that thou appearest here before this Circle, to fulfil my will in all things which shall seem good unto me; by the Seal of BASDATHEA BALDACHIA; and by this name PRIMEUMATON, which Moses named, and the earth opened, and did swallow up Kora, Dathan, and Abiram. Wherefore thou shalt make faithful answers unto all my demands, O Spirit N., and shalt perform all my desires so far as in thine office thou art capable hereof. Wherefore, come thou, visibly, peaceably, and affably, now without delay, to manifest that which I desire, speaking with a clear and perfect voice, intelligibly, and to mine understanding.
I think you might be worrying too much.
I simply like to know the meaning of the words or phrases I say; I feel that understanding makes the process more powerful.
Yes, I tend to do that, and I’m a bit of a perfectionist when I’m not too tired, but thanks to that, I end up learning new things and personalizing my rituals. For example, I discovered that the first word of power that NAP asks you to use is misspelled and therefore mispronounced, being “nakar” instead of “ankar” as it says in the book.
