OET (OET-LV) And_ Lemek _he/it_said to_his_wives Oh_ˊĀdāh and_Tsillāh listen_to my_sound/voice Oh_wives_of Lemek give_ear_to my_speech/discourse if/because a_man I_have_killed to/for_my_wound/bruise and_child/boy/young_man to/for_my_stripe/bruise/wound.

OET (OET-RV) Then Lemech said to his wives:
 ⇔  “Adah and Tsillah, listen to me.
 ⇔  My wives, take notice of my words;
 ⇔  I killed a man who had wounded me;
 ⇔  I killed a young man who hurt me.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

וַ⁠יֹּ֨אמֶר לֶ֜מֶךְ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Lemek to/for=his/its=women/wives ˊĀdāh and=Tsillāh/(Zillah) listen_you(pl)(fp) my=sound/voice women/wives_of Lemek stretch_ear/listen_you(pl)(fp) my=speech/discourse that/for/because/then/when (a)_man I_have_killed to/for=my=wound/bruise and=child/boy/young_man to/for=my=stripe/bruise/wound )

Consider what is the best way in your language to introduce this new event. Alternate translation: [One time, Lamech said proudly] or [One day, Lamech boasted]

לְ⁠נָשָׁ֗י⁠ו עָדָ֤ה וְ⁠צִלָּה֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Lemek to/for=his/its=women/wives ˊĀdāh and=Tsillāh/(Zillah) listen_you(pl)(fp) my=sound/voice women/wives_of Lemek stretch_ear/listen_you(pl)(fp) my=speech/discourse that/for/because/then/when (a)_man I_have_killed to/for=my=wound/bruise and=child/boy/young_man to/for=my=stripe/bruise/wound )

Be consistent with how you spelled these names in verses [4:19–20](../04/19.md), [4:22–23](../04/22.md).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

שְׁמַ֣עַן קוֹלִ֔⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Lemek to/for=his/its=women/wives ˊĀdāh and=Tsillāh/(Zillah) listen_you(pl)(fp) my=sound/voice women/wives_of Lemek stretch_ear/listen_you(pl)(fp) my=speech/discourse that/for/because/then/when (a)_man I_have_killed to/for=my=wound/bruise and=child/boy/young_man to/for=my=stripe/bruise/wound )

The phrase my voice refers here to the words being said. Consider what is the best way to translate this figure of speech in your language. Alternate translation: [listen to what I am going to tell you]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

נְשֵׁ֣י לֶ֔מֶךְ הַאְזֵ֖נָּה אִמְרָתִ֑⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Lemek to/for=his/its=women/wives ˊĀdāh and=Tsillāh/(Zillah) listen_you(pl)(fp) my=sound/voice women/wives_of Lemek stretch_ear/listen_you(pl)(fp) my=speech/discourse that/for/because/then/when (a)_man I_have_killed to/for=my=wound/bruise and=child/boy/young_man to/for=my=stripe/bruise/wound )

This clause forms a parallelism, use of two phrases mean basically the same thing, with the previous clause and emphasizes what Lamech says next. Also, consider whether or not your language has an expression that is similar to give ear to. Alternate translation: [My wives, listen to me carefully]

כִּ֣י אִ֤ישׁ הָרַ֨גְתִּי֙ לְ⁠פִצְעִ֔⁠י וְ⁠יֶ֖לֶד לְ⁠חַבֻּרָתִֽ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Lemek to/for=his/its=women/wives ˊĀdāh and=Tsillāh/(Zillah) listen_you(pl)(fp) my=sound/voice women/wives_of Lemek stretch_ear/listen_you(pl)(fp) my=speech/discourse that/for/because/then/when (a)_man I_have_killed to/for=my=wound/bruise and=child/boy/young_man to/for=my=stripe/bruise/wound )

This could mean: (1) that Lamech killed a young man who bruised him. Alternate translation: [I killed a man for wounding me; he was a young man who bruised me!] or [I killed a young man for wounding me! In fact, I killed that man just because he injured me!]; (2) that Lamech killed two a man who wounded him and also a man who bruised him. Alternate translation: [I killed a man for wounding me, and I also killed a young man for bruising me] or [A man wounded me, so I killed him. A young man bruised me, so I killed him too!]
