Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַיִּשָּׂ֣א אֶת עֵינָ֗יו
and,lifted_up DOM eyes,his
See how you translated the idiom “lifted … eyes” in verse 1 and Gen 31:10. It may be necessary to translate this idiom in different ways, depending on the context. Alternate translation: “Then Esau looked up”
וַיַּ֤רְא אֶת הַנָּשִׁים֙ וְאֶת הַיְלָדִ֔ים
and=he/it_saw DOM the,women and=DOM the=youths
Alternate translation: “and saw the women and children who were there with Jacob,”
Note 2 topic: writing-quotations
וַיֹּ֖אמֶר
and=he/it_said
Alternate translation: “so he asked him”
מִי אֵ֣לֶּה לָּ֑ךְ
who? these with,you
Esau wants to know if these people are Jacob’s family members or his servants or someone else; he is not asking what their names are. Alternate translation: “How are these people related to you?”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיֹּאמַ֕ר
and,said
Make sure it is clear in your translation who is speaking to whom here. Alternate translation: “He answered him”
הַיְלָדִ֕ים
the=youths
Alternate translation: “They are the children and the wives” or “They are my wives and my children”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
אֲשֶׁר חָנַ֥ן אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֶת עַבְדֶּֽךָ
which/who graciously_given ʼₑlhīmv DOM servant,your
Jacob uses the phrase your servant to be polite and show respect to Esau; he was not actually Esau’s servant. For some languages it is more natural to put the honorific title first in this sentence and say, “Sir, they are the wives and children whom God has graciously given to me.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “whom God has kindly given to me, your servant.” or “whom God has graciously given to me, sir.”
33:5 your servant: In talking with his brother, Jacob continued to refer to himself as Esau’s servant (also 33:14) and to Esau as his lord (33:8, 13-15); Esau called Jacob “my brother” (33:9). Jacob was cautiously warding off any possible retaliation by reversing the words of the oracle (25:23).
