7.22 Non poteris, etc. Cavendum esse ostendit, ne forte, expulsis peccatis a carne nostra, insurgat spiritalis bestia, id est jactantia, superbia, vel vana gloria, quæ difficilius exstirpantur quam carnalia vitia. Loth enim, qui in Sodomis continuit, in monte fornicatione pollutus est Gen. 19.. Expulso vitio statim virtus plantetur ne immundus spiritus redeat, et domum vacantem inveniat. Matth. 12.. RAB., GREG. Quibusdam majora bona Deus dat, nec minora concedit, ut semper animus eorum habeat unde se reprehendat, et dum perfecti esse appetunt nec possunt, minime se extollant in his quæ habent, qui per se parva non habere valent. Hinc est quod fortes et potentes adversarios exstinxit Philisthæos; et Chananæos diu reservavit, ut in eis erudiretur Isræl habens contra quos pugnaret, ne de majoribus devictis sese extolleret. Eadem ergo mens pollet ex virtute, lassescit ex infirmitate, ut dum quærit quod habere non valet, quod habet humiliter servet. Superna quoque regio in civibus suis ex parte damna pertulit, ex parte fortiter stetit: ut electi angeli dum alios per superbiam cecidisse conspicerent, tanto robustius quanto humilius starent. Sic in unaquaque anima agitur, ut maxima lucra conferant, aliquando minima damnant.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מִ⁠פָּנֶ֖י⁠ךָ

from,before,you

Here, face represents the presence of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “before you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

פֶּן

lest

Moses uses the word lest to introduce an imaginary situation to help explain why Yahweh is driving out the nations slowly rather than quickly. Use a natural method in your language for introducing an imaginary situation. Alternate translation: “in case”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

תִּרְבֶּ֥ה עָלֶ֖י⁠ךָ חַיַּ֥ת הַ⁠שָּׂדֶֽה

multiply for,you being/animal the=field

The implication is that the wild animals will increase in population and take over the land before the Israelites are able to cultivate all of the land. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “the animals of the field multiply before you can control their population”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

חַיַּ֥ת הַ⁠שָּׂדֶֽה

being/animal the=field

Here, animals of the field is an idiom that means “wild animals” or “nondomestic animals.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the beasts”
