OET interlinear DEUT 6:3

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ⁠שָׁמַעְתָּ֤ & וְ⁠שָׁמַרְתָּ֣ לַ⁠עֲשׂ֔וֹת

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_hear Yisrael and,you_will_take_care for=doing which/who go_well to/for=yourself(m) and=which you(pl),will_increase very just=as he/it_had_said YHWH god_of your(pl)_ancestors_of,your to/for=you(fs) earth/land flowing_of milk and,honey )

Moses is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [And you shall listen to them … and carefully do them]

וְ⁠שָׁמַעְתָּ֤

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_hear Yisrael and,you_will_take_care for=doing which/who go_well to/for=yourself(m) and=which you(pl),will_increase very just=as he/it_had_said YHWH god_of your(pl)_ancestors_of,your to/for=you(fs) earth/land flowing_of milk and,honey )

See how you translated the term “listen” in 4:30.

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

אֲשֶׁר֙ & וַ⁠אֲשֶׁ֥ר

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_hear Yisrael and,you_will_take_care for=doing which/who go_well to/for=yourself(m) and=which you(pl),will_increase very just=as he/it_had_said YHWH god_of your(pl)_ancestors_of,your to/for=you(fs) earth/land flowing_of milk and,honey )

Here each occurrence of that marks what comes after as the goal or purpose of what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is the purpose.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

תִּרְבּ֖וּ⁠ן מְאֹ֑ד

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_hear Yisrael and,you_will_take_care for=doing which/who go_well to/for=yourself(m) and=which you(pl),will_increase very just=as he/it_had_said YHWH god_of your(pl)_ancestors_of,your to/for=you(fs) earth/land flowing_of milk and,honey )

The implication is that the number of Israelites will multiply by births. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [your population will greatly increase]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֲבֹתֶ֨י⁠ךָ֙

your(pl)_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 as modeled in the UST. See how you translated the phrase “your fathers” in 1:8.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

דִּבֶּ֨ר

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_hear Yisrael and,you_will_take_care for=doing which/who go_well to/for=yourself(m) and=which you(pl),will_increase very just=as he/it_had_said YHWH god_of your(pl)_ancestors_of,your to/for=you(fs) earth/land flowing_of milk and,honey )

The implication is that Yahweh will ensure that what he spoke will happen. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [told you he would do]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֶ֛רֶץ זָבַ֥ת חָלָ֖ב וּ⁠דְבָֽשׁ

earth/land flowing_of milk and,honey

Moses is speaking as if the land that God promised to give to the Israelites were physically flowing with milk and honey. Moses means that the land is “a very fertile land.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [in a rich and fertile land] or [in a very productive land]
