16:5 Note: Puncta extraordinaria a ◌ׄ is used to mark such marks in the text when they are above the line and a ◌ׅ when they are below the line.
OET (OET-RV) So Sarai complained to Abram, “This is all your fault. I let you sleep with my slave, but now that she’s pregnant she looks down on me. May Yahweh judge between me and you.”
Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
וַתֹּ֨אמֶר שָׂרַ֣י אֶל אַבְרָם֮
and=she/it_said Sarai to/towards Avram
Alternate translation: “Then Sarai complained to Abram,”
חֲמָסִ֣י עָלֶיךָ֒
wrong,me upon,you
Alternate translation: “I am suffering because of you!” or “I am being mistreated because of you!” or “It is your fault that I am being treated wrongly”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
אָנֹכִ֗י נָתַ֤תִּי שִׁפְחָתִי֙ בְּחֵיקֶ֔ךָ
I I_give servant,my in/on/at/with,arms,your
The idiom “put … into your arms” refers to Abram’s relationship with Hagar. Make sure that your translation of this clause is not offensive. Alternate translation: “I gave my servant to you to be your wife,” or “I allowed my servant to have marital relations with you,”
וַתֵּ֨רֶא֙ כִּ֣י הָרָ֔תָה
and=she/it_saw that/for/because/then/when conceived
Alternate translation: “but now that she knows that she is pregnant,”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וָאֵקַ֖ל בְּעֵינֶ֑יהָ
and,became_contemptible in/on/at/with,sight,she
Consider what is the best way to translate this passive clause in your language. Also see how you translated a similar clause in verse 4. Alternate translation: “she despises me!” or “she treats me with disdain”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
יִשְׁפֹּ֥ט יְהוָ֖ה בֵּינִ֥י וּבֵינֶֽיׄךָ
judge YHWH between,me and,between,you
As the head of the household, it was Abram’s responsibility to rebuke Hagar and require her to respect Sarai. You could put that information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “I ask Yahweh to decide between you and me who is responsible for this!” or “I ask Yahweh to decide who is wrong, you or me!” or “May Yahweh judge whether it is you or I who is responsible for this!”
16:1-16 While waiting for their promised son to be born, Abram and Sarai attempted an alternate plan that was not in keeping with faith.

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.
