OET interlinear HERO (JDG) 18:5

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

שְׁאַל־נָ֣א בֵ⁠אלֹהִ֑ים וְ⁠נֵ֣דְעָ֔ה הֲ⁠תַצְלִ֣יחַ דַּרְכֵּ֔⁠נוּ אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲנַ֖חְנוּ הֹלְכִ֥ים עָלֶֽי⁠הָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said to=him/it inquire now by,God so,that_we_may_know will,it_succeed? journey_of,our which/who we going on,it )

The men word their inquiry as if they were asking their question directly of God. It may be natural in your language to make this a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: [Please ask God for us something that we would like to know: ‘Will our way prosper, upon which we are going?’]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

הֲ⁠תַצְלִ֣יחַ דַּרְכֵּ֔⁠נוּ אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲנַ֖חְנוּ הֹלְכִ֥ים עָלֶֽי⁠הָ

will,it_succeed? (Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said to=him/it inquire now by,God so,that_we_may_know will,it_succeed? journey_of,our which/who we going on,it )

In some languages, this may appear to be a quotation within a quotation, which the language would not use. If that is the case for your language, you could express this more indirectly. Alternate translation: [whether the way upon which we are going will prosper]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

הֲ⁠תַצְלִ֣יחַ דַּרְכֵּ֔⁠נוּ אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲנַ֖חְנוּ הֹלְכִ֥ים עָלֶֽי⁠הָ

will,it_succeed? (Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said to=him/it inquire now by,God so,that_we_may_know will,it_succeed? journey_of,our which/who we going on,it )

The men are speaking of their way as if it were a living thing that could prosper. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [will we succeed in what we are trying to do]
