OET interlinear JDG 6:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

אִ֥ישׁ נָבִ֖יא

(a)_man prophet

The author is using the phrase a man to introduce this prophet as a new participant in the story. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you can use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: [a certain prophet]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

כֹּה־אָמַ֥ר יְהוָ֣ה ׀ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל אָנֹכִ֞י הֶעֱלֵ֤יתִי אֶתְ⁠כֶם֙ מִ⁠מִּצְרַ֔יִם וָ⁠אֹצִ֥יא אֶתְ⁠כֶ֖ם מִ⁠בֵּ֥ית עֲבָדִֽים

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_sent YHWH (a)_man prophet to/towards sons_of Yisrael and=he/it_said to/for=them thus he/it_had_said YHWH god_of Yisrael I brought_~_up ,you(pl) from=Miʦrayim/(Egypt) and,I_brought_out ,you(pl) from,a_house_of slavery )

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [Yahweh, the God of Israel, says that he brought you up from Egypt and that he brought you out from the house of slaves]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

אָנֹכִ֞י הֶעֱלֵ֤יתִי אֶתְ⁠כֶם֙ מִ⁠מִּצְרַ֔יִם וָ⁠אֹצִ֥יא אֶתְ⁠כֶ֖ם מִ⁠בֵּ֥ית עֲבָדִֽים

I brought_~_up ,you(pl) (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_sent YHWH (a)_man prophet to/towards sons_of Yisrael and=he/it_said to/for=them thus he/it_had_said YHWH god_of Yisrael I brought_~_up ,you(pl) from=Miʦrayim/(Egypt) and,I_brought_out ,you(pl) from,a_house_of slavery )

Yahweh gave the prophet a poetic message that used repetition for emphasis. To show that this is poetry, you may want to include both phrases in your translation. But it may be clearer in your language to connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [I brought you up from Egypt, indeed, I brought you out from the house of slaves]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֶתְ⁠כֶם֙

,you(pl)

Yahweh is saying you by association to mean “you Israelites.” He did not bring the people whom this prophet is addressing up from Egypt, since that happened in an earlier generation. Alternate translation: [you Israelites]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִ⁠בֵּ֥ית עֲבָדִֽים

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_sent YHWH (a)_man prophet to/towards sons_of Yisrael and=he/it_said to/for=them thus he/it_had_said YHWH god_of Yisrael I brought_~_up ,you(pl) from=Miʦrayim/(Egypt) and,I_brought_out ,you(pl) from,a_house_of slavery )

Yahweh is speaking of Egypt as if it had been a house where people kept slaves. Alternate translation: [the country where you were in slavery]
