OET interlinear EZRA 9:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

וְ⁠עַתָּ֛ה מַה־נֹּאמַ֥ר אֱלֹהֵ֖י⁠נוּ אַֽחֲרֵי־זֹ֑את

(Some words not found in UHB: and=now what? say our_God_of,O after this(f) that/for/because/then/when abandoned commandments_of,your )

Ezra is making a statement, not really asking a question. He does not expect God to tell him what excuses he can give for the disobedience of the Israelites. Instead, he is using the question form to emphasize that the Israelites really have no excuses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate these words as a statement. Alternate translation: [So now, our God, we really have no excuses, after all of this.]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אַֽחֲרֵי־זֹ֑את

(Some words not found in UHB: and=now what? say our_God_of,O after this(f) that/for/because/then/when abandoned commandments_of,your )

If it would be helpful in your language, you could explain what this refers to. There are two possibilities. (1) It probably refers to all of the sinning that the Jews did by disobeying God. Alternate translation: [after we have continued to sin against you] or (2) It could refer to the good things that God did for the Jews even though they continually disobeyed him. Alternate translation: [after you have been much more kind to us than we deserved]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

עָזַ֖בְנוּ מִצְוֺתֶֽי⁠ךָ

abandoned commandments_of,your

As in 8:22, forsaking or abandoning God is a metaphor for disobeying him or refusing to serve him. Alternate translation: [we have disobeyed your commandments]
