OET (OET-LV)And_answered ʼAⱱrāhām and_said here please I_have_undertaken to_speak to my_master and_I [am]_dust and_ashes.

OET (OET-RV)“Listen, I’ve been bold enough to question my master, even though I’m just dust and ashes,” Abraham said again.

uW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יַּ֥עַן אַבְרָהָ֖ם

and,answered ʼAⱱrāhām

Alternate translation: “Then Abraham responded”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

וַ⁠יֹּאמַ֑ר

and,said

Alternate translation: “and said to him,” or “and asked him,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

הִנֵּה נָ֤א הוֹאַ֨לְתִּי֙ לְ⁠דַבֵּ֣ר אֶל

see/lo/see! now bold to,speak to/towards

The idiom taken it upon myself means that Abraham has decided to do something and is acting boldly. Consider whether or not your language has an idiom that fits well here. Alternate translation: “Listen, please, since I have been bold to speak to you,” or “Please excuse me for speaking to you so boldly,”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

אֲדֹנָ֔⁠י

my=master

Abraham realizes by now that he is talking to Yahweh, so use a respectful term in your translation that is appropriate for him to use when he refers to Yahweh here and in the rest of this chapter. Also, for some languages it is more natural to put this phrase first in this quote and say, “My Lord/Master, please excuse me for speaking to you so boldly,” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “my Master,” or “Master,”

וְ⁠אָנֹכִ֖י

and,I

Alternate translation: “in spite of the fact that”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠אָנֹכִ֖י עָפָ֥ר וָ⁠אֵֽפֶר

and,I dust and,ashes

It may be clearer to put this comparison earlier in the sentence and say, “My Lord/Master, I am as unimportant/insignificant as dust/dirt and ashes, so please excuse me …” Do what is best in your language. Also, see how you translated dust in Gen 2:7 and 3:19. Alternate translation: “I am as unimportant as dust and ashes compared to you.” or “I am nothing compared to you.” or “I have no status compared to you.”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

18:16-33 God took Abraham into his confidence as his prophet (18:16-21; see 20:7); Abraham, in turn, interceded for Sodom (18:23-32; see Heb 7:23-26). God is able to do whatever he chooses to do; this passage affirms that it will be just and right.

OET (OET-LV)And_answered ʼAⱱrāhām and_said here please I_have_undertaken to_speak to my_master and_I [am]_dust and_ashes.

OET (OET-RV)“Listen, I’ve been bold enough to question my master, even though I’m just dust and ashes,” Abraham said again.

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.
