OET interlinear DEU 9:15

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וָ⁠אֵ֗פֶן

and,I_turned

Here the word turned describes the beginning of Moses’ action. Your language may have a comparable expression that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: [And I got up]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

וָֽ⁠אֵרֵד֙

and,I_went_down

In a context such as this, your language might say “went” instead of came. Alternate translation: [and went down]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

וְ⁠הָ⁠הָ֖ר בֹּעֵ֣ר בָּ⁠אֵ֑שׁ

and,the,mountain (Some words not found in UHB: and,I_turned and,I_went_down from/more_than the,mountain and,the,mountain burning with,fire and,the_two_of tablets_of of,the_covenant on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in two(fd) hands_of,my )

The expression burning with the fire contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: [and there was fire on the mountain]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

לֻחֹ֣ת הַ⁠בְּרִ֔ית

tablets_of (Some words not found in UHB: and,I_turned and,I_went_down from/more_than the,mountain and,the,mountain burning with,fire and,the_two_of tablets_of of,the_covenant on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in two(fd) hands_of,my )

Here Moses is using the possessive form to describe the tablets on which Yahweh wrote the covenant, specifically, the words of the Ten Commandments. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use an equivalent expression to describe a tablet with writing on it. Alternate translation: [tablets that had the words of the covenant on them]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

שְׁתֵּ֥י יָדָֽ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_turned and,I_went_down from/more_than the,mountain and,the,mountain burning with,fire and,the_two_of tablets_of of,the_covenant on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in two(fd) hands_of,my )

The expression two hands contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: [my hands]
