OET interlinear DEU 7:22

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מִ⁠פָּנֶ֖י⁠ךָ

from,before_of,you

Here, face represents the presence of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [before you]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

פֶּן

lest

Moses is using the word translated as lest to introduce a situation that Yahweh does not want to happen, but that could happen if the Israelites drove out the nations quickly rather than little by little. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a situation that could happen.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

תִּרְבֶּ֥ה עָלֶ֖י⁠ךָ חַיַּ֥ת הַ⁠שָּׂדֶֽה

multiply for,you being/animal the=field

The implication is that the wild animals will increase in population and take over the land before the Israelites are able to cultivate all of the land. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the animals of the field multiply before you can control their population]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

חַיַּ֥ת הַ⁠שָּׂדֶֽה

being/animal the=field

Here, animals of the field is an idiom that means “wild animals” or “nondomestic animals.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly as in the UST.
