OET interlinear DEU 4:31

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּ֣י

that/for/because/then/when

The word translated as For indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: [This is because]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠לֹ֣א יַשְׁחִיתֶ֑⁠ךָ

and=not destroy,you

The implication is that Yahweh will not destroy all the Israelites, because he will make sure that some Israelites survive. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and he will not eliminate you completely]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

וְ⁠לֹ֤א יִשְׁכַּח֙

and=not forget

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative verb forget. Alternate translation: [and he will remember]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

בְּרִ֣ית אֲבֹתֶ֔י⁠ךָ

covenant_of fathers_of,your

Here, Moses is using the possessive form to describe the covenant that Yahweh made with the fathers of the Israelites. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use an equivalent expression to describe the covenant. Alternate translation: [the covenant between Yahweh and your fathers]
