OET interlinear DEUT 28:36

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

אֲשֶׁ֣ר תָּקִ֣ים עָלֶ֔י⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: bring YHWH ,you and,DOM king_of,your which/who set over,you to/towards nation which/who not known you(ms) and,ancestors_of,your and,you_will_serve there ʼElohīm other tree/message and,stone )

The pronoun yourself indicates that the object of the verb is the same as the subject of the verb. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate that the same person fills two roles in the sentence. Alternate translation: [whom you will choose as your king,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

אַתָּ֣ה וַ⁠אֲבֹתֶ֑י⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: bring YHWH ,you and,DOM king_of,your which/who set over,you to/towards nation which/who not known you(ms) and,ancestors_of,your and,you_will_serve there ʼElohīm other tree/message and,stone )

Moses is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [neither you nor your fathers have known that nation]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠אֲבֹתֶ֑י⁠ךָ

and,ancestors_of,your

Moses is using the term fathers to mean “ancestors.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [nor any of your ancestors]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

עֵ֥ץ וָ⁠אָֽבֶן

tree/message and,stone

Moses is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [that are made of wood and stone]
