OET interlinear DEU 30:2

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠שַׁבְתָּ֞ עַד־יְהוָ֤ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_turn_back until YHWH God_of,your and,you_will_listen to,voice_of,his according,to_all which/who I [am]_commanding_of,you the=day you(ms) and,children_of,your in=all heart_of,your and=on/over=all being_of,your )

Moses is speaking of the Israelites as if they had been walking away from God but could return to walk back to him. He means that they should stop living in ways that are displeasing to God and instead live in the manner in which God wants people to live. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and once again you begin to obey Yahweh]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠שָׁמַעְתָּ֣ בְ⁠קֹל֔⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_turn_back until YHWH God_of,your and,you_will_listen to,voice_of,his according,to_all which/who I [am]_commanding_of,you the=day you(ms) and,children_of,your in=all heart_of,your and=on/over=all being_of,your )

Moses assumes that readers will know that listen as it is used here, includes the meaning of “obey.” You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [listen to and obey his voice]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠שָׁמַעְתָּ֣ בְ⁠קֹל֔⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_turn_back until YHWH God_of,your and,you_will_listen to,voice_of,his according,to_all which/who I [am]_commanding_of,you the=day you(ms) and,children_of,your in=all heart_of,your and=on/over=all being_of,your )

Here, his voice represents what God said by using words. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and listen to what he commands]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

וּ⁠בָנֶ֔י⁠ךָ

and,children_of,your

Here the masculine term sons has a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: [children]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

בְּ⁠כָל־לְבָבְ⁠ךָ֖ וּ⁠בְ⁠כָל־נַפְשֶֽׁ⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_turn_back until YHWH God_of,your and,you_will_listen to,voice_of,his according,to_all which/who I [am]_commanding_of,you the=day you(ms) and,children_of,your in=all heart_of,your and=on/over=all being_of,your )

Moses is referring to all of a person by naming two major components, heart and soul. These terms are used together to mean “completely” or “wholeheartedly.” See how you translated the expression “with all your heart and with all your soul” in [4:29](../04/29.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [with all your being] or [wholeheartedly]
