OET interlinear EXO 34:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

יְהוָ֣ה ׀ יְהוָ֔ה אֵ֥ל רַח֖וּם וְ⁠חַנּ֑וּן

YHWH YHWH god compassionate and,gracious

God is speaking about himself. If this is confusing in your language, you may use the first person. Alternate translation: [I, Yahweh, am God, and I am merciful and gracious]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

רַח֖וּם וְ⁠חַנּ֑וּן

compassionate and,gracious

This is emphasizing that Yahweh cares for people and acts kindly toward them. If doubling would not strengthen the statement here in your language, consider another form that would.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אֶ֥רֶךְ אַפַּ֖יִם

slow_of (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_passed_through YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in his/its=faces/face and=he/it_called YHWH YHWH god compassionate and,gracious slow_of anger and,great_of steadfast_love and,faithfulness )

The phrase long of nostril is an idiom that means Yahweh does not get angry easily or quickly. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent idiom or use plain language. Alternate translation: [slow to anger]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠רַב־חֶ֥סֶד וֶ⁠אֱמֶֽת

and,great_of steadfast_love and,faithfulness

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness, you can express the same idea in another way. (For covenant faithfulness, see Exodus 20:6). Alternate translation: [always being faithful to my covenant and always being trustworthy]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

חֶ֥סֶד וֶ⁠אֱמֶֽת

steadfast_love and,faithfulness

This is emphasizing that Yahweh always does what he promises toward the people he loves. If doubling would not strengthen the statement here in your language, consider another form that would.
