OET interlinear DEU 1:45

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠תָּשֻׁ֥בוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you(pl)_returned and,you(pl)_wept to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and=not listen YHWH to,voice_of,your(pl) and=not give_ear to,you(pl) )

The implication is that the fighting men returned from the battle to where the rest of the Israelites were camping at Kadesh Barnea. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [And you returned to Kadesh Barnea]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנֵ֣י

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before

Here, to the face of represents being in front of or in the presence of Yahweh. See the Introduction to Deuteronomy for a discussion of this phrase. See how you translated “to the face of” in [1:42](../01/42.md). Alternate translation: [in the presence of] or [before]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וְ⁠לֹֽא־שָׁמַ֤ע יְהוָה֙ בְּ⁠קֹ֣לְ⁠כֶ֔ם וְ⁠לֹ֥א הֶאֱזִ֖ין אֲלֵי⁠כֶֽם

and=not (Some words not found in UHB: and,you(pl)_returned and,you(pl)_wept to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and=not listen YHWH to,voice_of,your(pl) and=not give_ear to,you(pl) )

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [but Yahweh did not listen to your voice, indeed he did not give ear to you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠לֹֽא־שָׁמַ֤ע יְהוָה֙

and=not (Some words not found in UHB: and,you(pl)_returned and,you(pl)_wept to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and=not listen YHWH to,voice_of,your(pl) and=not give_ear to,you(pl) )

When Moses uses did not hear in reference to Yahweh, it means that Yahweh chose not to do what the people had asked him in prayer. You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. See the discussion about this in the Introduction to Deuteronomy for further information. Alternate translation: [but Yahweh did not respond]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠קֹ֣לְ⁠כֶ֔ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you(pl)_returned and,you(pl)_wept to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and=not listen YHWH to,voice_of,your(pl) and=not give_ear to,you(pl) )

Here, voice represents the words the Israelites spoke. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [to what you said]
