Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

לֻֽקַּֽח־לָ֗⁠ךְ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to,mother_of,his thousand and,one_hundred the,silver which/who taken to/for=you(fs) and, uttered_a_curse and=also spoke in,ears_of,my see/lo/see! the,silver [is]_with,me I I,took_it and=she/it_said his/its=mother blessed son_of,my to/for=YHWH )

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [someone took from you]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְאַ֤תְּ אָלִית֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to,mother_of,his thousand and,one_hundred the,silver which/who taken to/for=you(fs) and, uttered_a_curse and=also spoke in,ears_of,my see/lo/see! the,silver [is]_with,me I I,took_it and=she/it_said his/its=mother blessed son_of,my to/for=YHWH )

Micah is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and you swore a curse on whoever took it]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠גַם֙ אָמַ֣רְתְּ בְּ⁠אָזְנַ֔⁠י

and=also (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to,mother_of,his thousand and,one_hundred the,silver which/who taken to/for=you(fs) and, uttered_a_curse and=also spoke in,ears_of,my see/lo/see! the,silver [is]_with,me I I,took_it and=she/it_said his/its=mother blessed son_of,my to/for=YHWH )

Micah is using the term ears by association to mean that he heard what his mother said. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and I also heard what you said]

Note 5 topic: writing-foreground

הִנֵּֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to,mother_of,his thousand and,one_hundred the,silver which/who taken to/for=you(fs) and, uttered_a_curse and=also spoke in,ears_of,my see/lo/see! the,silver [is]_with,me I I,took_it and=she/it_said his/its=mother blessed son_of,my to/for=YHWH )

As the Introduction to Judges discusses, Micah is using the word Behold to call attention to what he is about to say. Alternate translation: [Listen]

Note 6 topic: translate-blessing

בָּר֥וּךְ בְּנִ֖⁠י לַ⁠יהוָֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to,mother_of,his thousand and,one_hundred the,silver which/who taken to/for=you(fs) and, uttered_a_curse and=also spoke in,ears_of,my see/lo/see! the,silver [is]_with,me I I,took_it and=she/it_said his/its=mother blessed son_of,my to/for=YHWH )

The mother is speaking a blessing. She is saying something that she hopes will cause good and beneficial things to happen to her son. In your translation, use a form that people would recognize as a blessing in your language. You might express this as a prayer, if that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [May Yahweh bless my son]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

בָּר֥וּךְ בְּנִ֖⁠י לַ⁠יהוָֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to,mother_of,his thousand and,one_hundred the,silver which/who taken to/for=you(fs) and, uttered_a_curse and=also spoke in,ears_of,my see/lo/see! the,silver [is]_with,me I I,took_it and=she/it_said his/its=mother blessed son_of,my to/for=YHWH )

The mother is speaking about her son in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the second person. Alternate translation: [May Yahweh bless you, my son]
