TSNTyndale Study Notes:

4:1-40 Moses’ lengthy exhortation to the Israelite community was based on the people’s recent failures and his anticipation of what lay ahead in Canaan.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּ֣י

that/for/because/then/when

The word translated as For indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: “This is because”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

אֱלֹהֶ֔י⁠ךָ & יַרְפְּ⁠ךָ֖ & יַשְׁחִיתֶ֑⁠ךָ & אֲבֹתֶ֔י⁠ךָ

God,your & abandon,you & destroy,you & fathers,your

Even though Moses is speaking to all the Israelites, you and your are singular in this verse. If the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could use the plural forms in your translation.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠לֹ֣א יַשְׁחִיתֶ֑⁠ךָ

and=not destroy,you

The implication is that Yahweh will not destroy the Israelites, because he will make sure that some Israelites survive. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and he will not eliminate you completely”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

וְ⁠לֹ֤א יִשְׁכַּח֙

and=not forget

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative verb forget. Alternate translation: “and he will remember”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

בְּרִ֣ית אֲבֹתֶ֔י⁠ךָ

covenant fathers,your

Here, Moses is using the possessive form to describe the covenant that Yahweh made with the fathers of the Israelites. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use an equivalent expression to describe the covenant. Alternate translation: “the covenant between Yahweh and your fathers”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֲבֹתֶ֔י⁠ךָ

fathers,your

Moses is using the term fathers to mean “ancestors.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “your predecessors”
