OET interlinear DEU 9:2

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּנֵ֣י

sons_of

Here, sons means “descendants.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly as is modeled in the UST.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

אַתָּ֤ה יָדַ֨עְתָּ֙ וְ⁠אַתָּ֣ה שָׁמַ֔עְתָּ

you(ms) know and=you(ms) you(ms)_paid_attention

For emphasis, Moses is stating the pronoun you, whose meaning is already included in the verbs translated as know and heard. If your language uses explicit pronouns for emphasis, you may want to use that construction in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. The ULT does so by using the intensive pronoun yourself. Alternate translation: [you indeed know, and you indeed have heard]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠אַתָּ֣ה שָׁמַ֔עְתָּ

and=you(ms) you(ms)_paid_attention

Here, the word heard means “heard rumors of.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and of whom you have heard it said]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מִ֣י יִתְיַצֵּ֔ב לִ⁠פְנֵ֖י בְּנֵ֥י עֲנָֽק

who? stand_up to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before sons_of ˊĀnāq

Moses is using the question form to emphasize that people were afraid of the Anakites. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [There is no one who can stand to the faces of the sons of Anak.]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יִתְיַצֵּ֔ב

stand_up

Here, stand means “resist” or “oppose in battle.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [can endure in battle]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנֵ֖י

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before

Here, faces represents the presence of people. 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]
