OET interlinear JDG 2:14

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠יִּֽחַר־אַ֤ף יְהוָה֙ בְּ⁠יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל

and=it_glowed/burned also/though YHWH in/on/at/with,Israel

As the Introduction to Judges discusses, the author is using the term nose to mean anger, by association with the way that a person who is angry breathes heavily through his nose. Your language and culture may also associate anger with a particular part of the body. If so, you could use an expression involving that part of the body in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: “in his anger”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יִּֽחַר־אַ֤ף יְהוָה֙ בְּ⁠יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל

and=it_glowed/burned also/though YHWH in/on/at/with,Israel

The author is speaking as if Yahweh’s anger literally burned, as if it were a fire. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: “Then Yahweh became furious with Israel”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַֽ⁠יִּתְּנֵ⁠ם֙ בְּ⁠יַד־שֹׁסִ֔ים

and,gave,them in/on/at/with,hand plunderers

Here, hand represents the power of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and he gave plunderers power over them”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַֽ⁠יִּמְכְּרֵ֞⁠ם בְּ⁠יַ֤ד אֽוֹיְבֵי⁠הֶם֙ מִ⁠סָּבִ֔יב

and,sold,them in/on/at/with,hand enemies,their from,all_sides

The author is speaking as if Yahweh had literally sold the Israelites as slaves to the hostile nations around them. (Here, hand represents possession, by association with the way that people may hold something that they own in their hands. It was as if the hostile nations owned the Israelites as their slaves.) He means that the Israelites became subject to those nations. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And he made them subjects of the enemies that surrounded them”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠לֹֽא־יָכְל֣וּ ע֔וֹד לַ⁠עֲמֹ֖ד לִ⁠פְנֵ֥י אוֹיְבֵי⁠הֶֽם

and=not could again/more to=stand to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before enemies,their

The author is speaking as if the Israelites could literally not stand up in the presence of their enemies. (As the Introduction to Joshua discusses, here face represents their presence, by association with the way people can see the face of someone who is present.) If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and they were no longer able to resist their enemies”
