OET (OET-RV) Then Yehuda went closer to Yosef and said quietly, “Please, my master, please let your servant speak a word in my master’s ears, and don’t get angry with me, since you’re as powerful as Far’oh.

and,went_up to=him/it Yehuda and=he/it_said
See how you translated went near in Gen 43:19. Alternate translation: “Then Judah came up to Joseph and said,”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / honorifics
בִּ֣י אֲדֹנִי֒
oh my=master
Compare how you translated this phrase in Gen 43:20. Alternate translation: “Please, master,” or “Excuse me, sir”
Note 2 topic: translate-honorifics
יְדַבֶּר נָ֨א עַבְדְּךָ֤ דָבָר֙ בְּאָזְנֵ֣י אֲדֹנִ֔י
speak now servant,your word in/on/at/with,ears my=master
Make sure your translation of your servant refers here to Judah, not to someone else. Throughout verses 18-34, Judah uses phrases such as “my lord,” “your servant,” and “your servants” to be polite and show respect to Joseph. At each point in these verses, make sure it is clear in your translation whom he is referring to. Alternate translation: “I humbly ask you to let me speak plainly to you.” or “will you please allow me your humble servant to say something to you.”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְאַל יִ֥חַר אַפְּךָ֖ בְּעַבְדֶּ֑ךָ
and,not burn anger,your in/on/at/with,servant,your
Compare how you translated the idiom “his anger burned” in Gen 39:19. Alternate translation: “Please do not be angry at me,”
כִּ֥י כָמ֖וֹךָ
that/for/because/then/when like,you
Alternate translation: “even though you are equal in rank to”
כְּפַרְעֹֽה

Alternate translation: “the king himself.”
44:1-34 The brothers appeared to have changed; they had shown remorse over what they had done to Joseph, and they showed integrity in returning the money and in bringing Benjamin. Given a chance to get rid of Rachel’s other son, Benjamin, would they do it?

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
