OET interlinear DEUT 6:21

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

וְ⁠אָמַרְתָּ֣ לְ⁠בִנְ⁠ךָ֔ עֲבָדִ֛ים הָיִ֥ינוּ לְ⁠פַרְעֹ֖ה בְּ⁠מִצְרָ֑יִם וַ⁠יּוֹצִיאֵ֧⁠נוּ יְהוָ֛ה מִ⁠מִּצְרַ֖יִם בְּ⁠יָ֥ד חֲזָקָֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_say to,child_of,your slaves were of,Pharaoh in,Egypt and,he,brought_us_out YHWH from=Miʦrayim/(Egypt) by,a_hand mighty )

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [And you shall say to your son that you were slaves of Pharoah in Egypt, and that Yahweh brought you out from Egypt with a mighty hand]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

לְ⁠בִנְ⁠ךָ֔

to,child_of,your

Although the term son is masculine, Moses is using the word in a generic sense that includes both sons and daughters. 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: [to your child]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go

וַ⁠יּוֹצִיאֵ֧⁠נוּ יְהוָ֛ה

and,he,brought_us_out YHWH

In a context such as this, your language might say “took” instead of brought. Alternate translation: [And Yahweh took us out]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠יָ֥ד חֲזָקָֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_say to,child_of,your slaves were of,Pharaoh in,Egypt and,he,brought_us_out YHWH from=Miʦrayim/(Egypt) by,a_hand mighty )

Here the word hand represents God’s power. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. See how you translated “a mighty hand” in 4:34.
