OET (OET-LV)And_he/it_said Abram my_master YHWH what will_you_give to_me and_I [am]_going childless and_one of_the_acquisition house_my he [is]_Dammeseq ʼElīˊezer.

OET (OET-RV)“My master Yahweh,” replied Abram, “what will you give me, since we have no children and it’s Eliezer (my chief slave from Damascus) who’ll inherit all my possessions?”

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

וַ⁠יֹּ֣אמֶר אַבְרָ֗ם

and=he/it_said Avram

The way you translate this quote margin may depend on how you translate the following rhetorical question. Alternate translation: “Then Abram said to him,” or “Then Abram asked him,”

Note 2 topic: translate-key-terms

אֲדֹנָ֤⁠י יֱהוִה֙

my=master GOD

The phrase My Lord means that Yahweh owns Abram and has complete authority over him, just as a master (at that time) had complete authority over his servant. Alternate translation: “My Master Yahweh,” or “Yahweh my Lord”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מַה תִּתֶּן לִ֔⁠י

what? give to=me

Abram uses this rhetorical question to show that he is lamenting that he has no children. Make sure in your translation that he does not sound rude. Alternate translation: “what reward can you give to me that would benefit me,” or “even if you reward me greatly, that will not help me,”

וְ⁠אָנֹכִ֖י הוֹלֵ֣ךְ עֲרִירִ֑י

and,I continue childless

Alternate translation: “since I remain childless”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וּ⁠בֶן מֶ֣שֶׁק

and,one inherit

The phrase son of the inheritance is used here as an idiom that means “inheritor” or “heir”; it does not refer to an actual son. Consider whether or not your language has a similar idiom. Also consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “so that after I die, the heir of” or “So when I die, the one who will own”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

בֵּיתִ֔⁠י

house,my

This phrase refers here to all Abram’s belongings. Alternate translation: “my estate” or “all that I own”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

דַּמֶּ֥שֶׂק אֱלִיעֶֽזֶר

Dammeseq ʼElīˊezer

In the Hebrew text, Abram emphasizes the fact that Eliezer was from Damascus, which means he was a foreigner from a foreign city, not a blood relative. Consider what is the best way to communicate that in your language. Also, be consistent here with how you translated “the city of Damascus” in Gen 14:15. Alternate translation: “is my foreign servant Eliezer from Damascus”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

15:1-21 The Lord made a formal covenant with Abram, solemnly confirming the promises made at his call (12:1-3). There would be a long period of slavery for Abram’s descendants before these promises would be completely fulfilled.
