וְאַנְשֵׁ֣י סְדֹ֔ם
and,men Şədom
The conjunction “Now/But” introduces background information that builds suspense for what happens to the people of Sodom later in Genesis (chapters 18-19). Consider what is the best way to begin this verse in your language. Also, this phrase probably has a general meaning here that includes all the people of Sodom, especially the men.
רָעִ֖ים & מְאֹֽד
wicked & very
Alternate translation: “were very evil”
וְחַטָּאִ֑ים לַיהוָ֖ה
and,sinners to/for=YHWH
Some translations treat the phrase wicked and sinful as a hendiadys that means “wicked sinners”, but it is best to keep the two parts of this phrase separate (like the Hebrew text does) to emphasize the people’s evil character and behavior. Alternate translation: “were terrible sinners against Yahweh.” or “were always rebelling against Yahweh.”
13:13 The implication is that Lot would not resist Sodom’s influence because he, too, was living for himself.
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.
