OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said here I_have_heard if/because_that there_[is] grain in/on/at/with_Miʦrayim go_down there_to and_buy to/for_us from_there and_live and_not we_will_die.
OET (OET-RV) Listen, I’ve heard that they’re selling grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us so that we won’t just starve to death here.”
Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
וַיֹּ֕אמֶר
and=he/it_said
For some languages it is more natural to omit the quote margin here, because the same person (Jacob) is still talking to the same people (his sons). Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “Then he added,”
הִנֵּ֣ה
see/lo/see!
Alternate translation: “Look,”
שָׁמַ֔עְתִּי
I_heard
Alternate translation: “I learned” or “Someone told me”
כִּ֥י יֶשׁ שֶׁ֖בֶר בְּמִצְרָ֑יִם
that/for/because/then/when there_is grain in/on/at/with,Egypt
Alternate translation: “that there is much grain for sale in the country of Egypt.” or “that the country of Egypt has a lot of grain that people can buy.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / politeness
רְדוּ שָׁ֨מָּה֙
go_down there,to
Make sure that the way you translate Jacob’s command to his sons does not sound rude or harsh. Alternate translation: “So I want you to go there” or “So please go down there”
וְשִׁבְרוּ לָ֣נוּ מִשָּׁ֔ם
and,buy to/for=us from=there
Alternate translation: “and buy some grain for us all”
וְנִחְיֶ֖ה
and,live
Alternate translation: “so that we will survive” or “so that we will stay alive”
וְלֹ֥א נָמֽוּת
and=not die
Alternate translation: “and not die from hunger.”
42:1–47:31 God used the famine to bring Israel to Egypt under Joseph’s rule, thus fulfilling two prophecies (15:13; 37:7-11).
OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said here I_have_heard if/because_that there_[is] grain in/on/at/with_Miʦrayim go_down there_to and_buy to/for_us from_there and_live and_not we_will_die.
OET (OET-RV) Listen, I’ve heard that they’re selling grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us so that we won’t just starve to death here.”
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.
