uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וְ⁠אַתֶּ֕ם חֲשַׁבְתֶּ֥ם עָלַ֖⁠י רָעָ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you(pl) planned on,me evil ʼElohīm he,planned_it for,good to bring_about as,day the=this to,preserve_alive people many )

In the Hebrew text, the pronoun you is emphatic in form and position to emphasize Joseph’s brothers and contrast them with God. Consider what is the best way to translate that contrast in your language. Alternate translation: [Although you intentionally treated me very badly]

לְמַ֗עַן עֲשֹׂ֛ה כַּ⁠יּ֥וֹם הַ⁠זֶּ֖ה

to (Some words not found in UHB: and,you(pl) planned on,me evil ʼElohīm he,planned_it for,good to bring_about as,day the=this to,preserve_alive people many )

Alternate translation: [to accomplish what he is doing these days]

לְ⁠הַחֲיֹ֥ת עַם־רָֽב

to,preserve_alive people many

Consider again how you translated “save (lives)” or “keep alive” in the book of Genesis. See 7:3; 12:12; 19:19; 45:7; 47:25; 50:20. Alternate translation: [to save the lives of many people] or [to keep many people alive] or [keeping many people from dying]

אֱלֹהִים֙ חֲשָׁבָ֣⁠הּ לְ⁠טֹבָ֔ה

ʼElohīm (Some words not found in UHB: and,you(pl) planned on,me evil ʼElohīm he,planned_it for,good to bring_about as,day the=this to,preserve_alive people many )

Alternate translation: [God is using that evil to benefit us all] or [God planned that what you did would turn out to be good for me and everyone else]

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.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
