uW Translation Notes:

וְ⁠ה֤וּא

and=he

The pronoun he is emphatic here to emphasize Ishmael. Make sure that your translation refers here to Ishmael, not Yahweh. Alternate translation: [As for Ishmael, when he grows up, he]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יִהְיֶה֙ פֶּ֣רֶא אָדָ֔ם

will_belong (Some words not found in UHB: and=he will_belong wild_donkey_of humankind his/its=hand [will,on_(the)_everyone and,the_hand_of all in/on/over=him/it and,on face/surface_of all brothers_of,his live )

The angel compares Ishmael to a wild donkey. Consider whether or not your language can use a similar image or a comparison here. Alternate translation: [will be like a untamed donkey that no one can control] or [will not be ruled by anyone else]

יָד֣⁠וֹ בַ⁠כֹּ֔ל וְ⁠יַ֥ד כֹּ֖ל בּ֑⁠וֹ

his/its=hand (Some words not found in UHB: and=he will_belong wild_donkey_of humankind his/its=hand [will,on_(the)_everyone and,the_hand_of all in/on/over=him/it and,on face/surface_of all brothers_of,his live )

Alternate translation: [He will be enemies with everyone]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וְ⁠עַל־פְּנֵ֥י & יִשְׁכֹּֽן

and,on (Some words not found in UHB: and=he will_belong wild_donkey_of humankind his/its=hand [will,on_(the)_everyone and,the_hand_of all in/on/over=him/it and,on face/surface_of all brothers_of,his live )

The rest of this verse forms a parallelism with the first half, emphasizing what Ishmael (and his descendants) will be like. Try to keep both parts of the parallelism in your translation, since each part has a different focus and the second part adds important information. Alternate translation: [Yes he will even fight against]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

כָל־אֶחָ֖י⁠ו

all brothers_of,his

The word brothers is used here to refer to relatives in general. Consider what is the best way to translate this synecdoche in your language. Alternate translation: [all of his own relatives] or [all of his own family members]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
