OET (OET-RV) Yes, the cry of the Israelis has now reached me and what’s more, I’ve seen how much the Egyptians are oppressing them.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
This verse parallels 3:7. Yahweh is restating that the Israelite’s plight has gotten his attention. This creates emphasis and connection to what Yahweh will do with what Moses will do as Yahweh’s appointed leader. If this repetition would confuse your readers consider a paragraph break at the start of this verse to separate the two parallel statements or use some other strategy of emphasis and connection that is natural in your language.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations
הִנֵּ֛ה
see/lo/see!
This is a term meant to focus the attention of the listener on what the speaker is about to say. If there is not a good way to translate this term in your language, this term can be omitted from the translation, or you can use an alternate translation like “certainly.”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
צַעֲקַ֥ת בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בָּ֣אָה אֵלָ֑י
cry sons_of Yisrael come to,me
Here, the cry is spoken of as if it were a person who is capable of moving on his own. If this might be confusing for your readers, you could express this meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I have heard the cries of the people of Israel”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
רָאִ֨יתִי֙ אֶת־הַלַּ֔חַץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר מִצְרַ֖יִם לֹחֲצִ֥ים אֹתָֽם
seen DOM the,oppression which/who from_Miʦrayim/(Miʦrayim/(Egypt))s oppressing DOM=them
If your language does not use an abstract noun for this idea, you can express the idea behind the abstract noun oppression in another way. Alternate translation: “I have seen how the Egyptians are oppressing them”
3:1-10 In these verses, the stage is set for the reorientation of Moses’ life.
OET (OET-LV) And_now there the_cry_of_distress of_the_people of_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) it_has_come to_me and_also I_have_seen DOM the_oppression which Miʦrayim [are]_oppressing DOM_them.
OET (OET-RV) Yes, the cry of the Israelis has now reached me and what’s more, I’ve seen how much the Egyptians are oppressing them.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
