Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
לֹ֣א רְאִיתִ֔יו & לֹ֣א הִכִּ֔יר & לֹ֣א יָדָ֑ע
not I,saw_him & not not (Some words not found in UHB: [who],said of,father_of,his and,of,mother_of,his not I,saw_him and=DOM brothers_of,his not acknowledge and=DOM children_of,his not acknowledge that/for/because/then/when observed word_of,your and,covenant_of,your kept )
Moses is using the expressions seen, acknowledge, and know as common expressions of his culture to mean showing partiality or favoritism to family members. If these phrases do not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I did not show partiality to them … he did not favor … he did not give special treatment to] or [I disregarded them … he paid no special attention to … he treated as strangers]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
כִּ֤י שָֽׁמְרוּ֙ אִמְרָתֶ֔ךָ וּבְרִֽיתְךָ֖ יִנְצֹֽרוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: [who],said of,father_of,his and,of,mother_of,his not I,saw_him and=DOM brothers_of,his not acknowledge and=DOM children_of,his not acknowledge that/for/because/then/when observed word_of,your and,covenant_of,your kept )
These two phrases they guarded your speech and your covenant they kept mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and you may want to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation. If it is helpful, you could connect the phrases in a way that shows that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [for they carefully guarded your speech, yes, they kept your covenant]
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
שָֽׁמְרוּ֙ & יִנְצֹֽרוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: [who],said of,father_of,his and,of,mother_of,his not I,saw_him and=DOM brothers_of,his not acknowledge and=DOM children_of,his not acknowledge that/for/because/then/when observed word_of,your and,covenant_of,your kept )
Here the pronoun they refers to the Levites. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the Levites guarded … the Levites kept]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
שָֽׁמְרוּ֙ אִמְרָתֶ֔ךָ
(Some words not found in UHB: [who],said of,father_of,his and,of,mother_of,his not I,saw_him and=DOM brothers_of,his not acknowledge and=DOM children_of,his not acknowledge that/for/because/then/when observed word_of,your and,covenant_of,your kept )
Moses is speaking of obeying God’s commands or your speech as if it were an object that could be physically guarded or protected. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [they obeyed your word] or [they carefully followed your commands]
OET (OET-LV) who_said of_father_of_his and_of_mother_of_his not I_saw_him and_DOM brothers_of_his not he_recognized and_DOM children_of_his[fn] not he_acknowledged if/because they_kept message_of_your and_covenant_of_your they_observed.
33:9 OSHB variant note: בנ/ו: (x-qere) ’בָּנָ֖י/ו’: lemma_1121 a n_1.0 morph_HNcmpc/Sp3ms id_05HDg בָּנָ֖י/ו
OET (OET-RV) He said that he hadn’t seen his father and his mother,
⇔ ≈ and he didn’t acknowledge his brothers or spend time with his sons.
⇔ because he guarded your message
⇔ ≈ and kept your agreement.
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.
