OET interlinear DEUT 1:13

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

חֲכָמִ֧ים וּ⁠נְבֹנִ֛ים

wise and,understanding

The terms wise and understanding mean similar things. Moses is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [very wise]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וִ⁠ידֻעִ֖ים

and,known

Here, well-known could mean (1) someone who is well known in the community he lives in and has a good reputation as being trustworthy. 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: [and reputable] and [and respected]. Or it could mean (2) someone who is knowledgeable. Alternate translation: [and knowledgeable]

Here, heads means “leaders.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [as your leaders]
