OET interlinear GEN 32:29

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-politeness

וַ⁠יִּשְׁאַ֣ל יַעֲקֹ֗ב וַ⁠יֹּ֨אמֶר֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_asked Yaakob and=he/it_said tell, please your(ms)=name and=he/it_said to/for=what it ask to,name_of,my and=he/it_blessed DOM=him/it there )

Consider again whether or not you have capitalized references to the man in verses 24–29. See the note about this at verse 24. Alternate translation: [Then Jacob asked him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

הַגִּֽידָ⁠ה־נָּ֣א שְׁמֶ֔⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_asked Yaakob and=he/it_said tell, please your(ms)=name and=he/it_said to/for=what it ask to,name_of,my and=he/it_blessed DOM=him/it there )

Consider whether it is better to use a direct or indirect quote here in your language. Alternate translation: [What is your name?] or [what his name was]

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

וַ⁠יֹּ֕אמֶר

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_asked Yaakob and=he/it_said tell, please your(ms)=name and=he/it_said to/for=what it ask to,name_of,my and=he/it_blessed DOM=him/it there )

Alternate translation: [But the man replied]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

לָ֥⁠מָּה זֶּ֖ה תִּשְׁאַ֣ל

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_asked Yaakob and=he/it_said tell, please your(ms)=name and=he/it_said to/for=what it ask to,name_of,my and=he/it_blessed DOM=him/it there )

This rhetorical question probably means that there was no need for Jacob to ask the man what his name was; he should have known without asking. Consider whether or not it is best to use a rhetorical question here in your language. Alternate translation: [You do not need to ask me]

לִ⁠שְׁמִ֑⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_asked Yaakob and=he/it_said tell, please your(ms)=name and=he/it_said to/for=what it ask to,name_of,my and=he/it_blessed DOM=him/it there )

Alternate translation: [to tell you my name!]
