OET interlinear DEU 14:22

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

עַשֵּׂ֣ר תְּעַשֵּׂ֔ר

to_give_tenth set_apart_a_tithe

Moses is repeating forms of the verb tithe in order to intensify the idea that it expresses. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: [You shall surely tithe]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

תְּעַשֵּׂ֔ר & זַרְעֶ֑⁠ךָ

set_apart_a_tithe & seed_of,your

Even though Moses is speaking to all the Israelites, you and your and the command forms are singular in this whole passage, from this verse to verse 29. 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 / possession

תְּבוּאַ֣ת זַרְעֶ֑⁠ךָ

yield_of seed_of,your

Here, Moses is using the possessive form to describe all of the produce that comes from each planted seed. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [the harvest]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

זַרְעֶ֑⁠ךָ

seed_of,your

Here, seed is literal and refers to seeds used in farming. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [your farming]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

שָׁנָ֥ה שָׁנָֽה

year year

Here, year after year is a common expression that means “every year.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [yearly] or [every year]
