OET interlinear DEU 18:19

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

הָ⁠אִישׁ֙ & מֵ⁠עִמּֽ⁠וֹ

the=man & from,with,him

The words man and him represent people in general, not one particular man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: [anyone … from that person]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

יְדַבֵּ֖ר

(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_was the=man which/who not listen to/towards words_of,my which/who speak in,name_of,my I hold_accountable from,with,him )

The pronoun he refers to the prophet from the previous verse. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the prophet speaks]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בִּ⁠שְׁמִ֑⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_was the=man which/who not listen to/towards words_of,my which/who speak in,name_of,my I hold_accountable from,with,him )

Here Yahweh’s name represents Yahweh’s authority. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [by my authority]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אָנֹכִ֖י אֶדְרֹ֥שׁ מֵ⁠עִמּֽ⁠וֹ

I hold_accountable from,with,him

The implication is that Yahweh will require anyone who disobeys his prophet to give an account for their disobedience. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [I will require accountability for disobedience from him] or [I will hold him responsible]

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

אָנֹכִ֖י אֶדְרֹ֥שׁ

I hold_accountable

Yahweh is stating the pronoun I separately, even though the verb translated as I will require already includes this meaning. He is doing that to emphasize that he will personally punish the person who disobeys his prophet. If a speaker of your language would use an explicit pronoun for the same purpose, you may want to use that construction in your translation. If not, your language may have other ways of showing the meaning here. Alternate translation: [I will indeed require it] or [I personally will require it]
