OET (OET-LV) if/because you_will_lay_siege to a_city days many to_fight on/upon_it(f) to_capture_it not you_will_destroy DOM tree[s]_of_its by_wielding on/upon/above_him/it an_axe if/because from_him/it you_will_eat and_it not you_will_cut_down if/because the_humankind is_the_tree_of the_field to_go from_before_of_you in_(the)_siege.

OET (OET-RV) When you besiege a city for a lengthy period, battling against it to capture it, you mustn’t use your axes to destroy its trees, because you can eat their fruit. Don’t cut them down because the trees in the countryside aren’t likely to turn around and attack you.

None
uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

לְֽ⁠הִלָּחֵ֧ם עָלֶ֣י⁠הָ לְ⁠תָפְשָׂ֗⁠הּ

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when besiege to/towards (a)_city days long to,fight on/upon=it(f) to,capture,it not destroy DOM tree[s]_of,its by,wielding on/upon/above=him/it ax that/for/because/then/when from=him/it eat and,,it not cut_~_down that/for/because/then/when the=humankind tree/message the=field to,go from,before_of,you in_(the),siege )

Here, to capture it marks this clause as the goal or purpose of battling against it. Moses describes the purpose of the military actions against the city. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that this is the purpose. Alternate translation: [battling against it in order to capture it] or [fighting against it with the goal of taking it]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּ֚י מִמֶּ֣⁠נּוּ תֹאכֵ֔ל

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when besiege to/towards (a)_city days long to,fight on/upon=it(f) to,capture,it not destroy DOM tree[s]_of,its by,wielding on/upon/above=him/it ax that/for/because/then/when from=him/it eat and,,it not cut_~_down that/for/because/then/when the=humankind tree/message the=field to,go from,before_of,you in_(the),siege )

The word translated as for indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Moses gives the reason why the Israelites should not destroy the trees during a siege—because these trees provide food. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: [because you shall eat from them] or [since they will provide food for you]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

כִּ֤י הָֽ⁠אָדָם֙ עֵ֣ץ הַ⁠שָּׂדֶ֔ה לָ⁠בֹ֥א מִ⁠פָּנֶ֖י⁠ךָ בַּ⁠מָּצֽוֹר

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when besiege to/towards (a)_city days long to,fight on/upon=it(f) to,capture,it not destroy DOM tree[s]_of,its by,wielding on/upon/above=him/it ax that/for/because/then/when from=him/it eat and,,it not cut_~_down that/for/because/then/when the=humankind tree/message the=field to,go from,before_of,you in_(the),siege )

Moses is using the question form to emphasize that trees are not human enemies who can attack the Israelites. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement. Alternate translation: [For the tree of the field is not a man who can fight against you.] or [Remember, the trees in the field are not people who can attack you.]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לָ⁠בֹ֥א מִ⁠פָּנֶ֖י⁠ךָ בַּ⁠מָּצֽוֹר

to,go (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when besiege to/towards (a)_city days long to,fight on/upon=it(f) to,capture,it not destroy DOM tree[s]_of,its by,wielding on/upon/above=him/it ax that/for/because/then/when from=him/it eat and,,it not cut_~_down that/for/because/then/when the=humankind tree/message the=field to,go from,before_of,you in_(the),siege )

Moses is using from your face as a common expression of his culture to mean “on account of.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to come on account of the siege]

OET (OET-RV) When you besiege a city for a lengthy period, battling against it to capture it, you mustn’t use your axes to destroy its trees, because you can eat their fruit. Don’t cut them down because the trees in the countryside aren’t likely to turn around and attack you.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.OET logo mark
