OET-LV Who_say to_wood father_of_are_my you and_to_stone you mmm[fn] if/because they_have_turned to_me a_neck and_not a_face and_at_the_time_of their_calamity_of_their they_will_say arise and_save_us.
2:27 OSHB variant note: ילדת/ני: (x-qere) ’יְלִדְתָּ֔/נוּ’: lemma=3205 n=1.1 morph=HVqp2fs/Sp1cp id=24hDf יְלִדְתָּ֔/נוּ
OET (OET-RV) who say to the tree, ‘You’re my father,’
⇔ and to the standing stone, ‘You gave birth to me.’
⇔ Yes, they show their backs to me, not their faces,
⇔ but when calamity comes, they’ll say, ‘Do something and rescue us!’
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
(Occurrence 0) These are the ones who say to the tree, ‘You are my father,’ and to the stone, ‘You gave birth to me.’
(Some words not found in UHB: say to,wood father_of,[are]_my you(ms) and,to,stone you ילדת,ני that/for/because/then/when turned to=me backs and=not faces and,at,the_time_of their_calamity_of,their say arise, and,save,us )
Here “tree” and “stone” represent idols carved from wood and stone. These words emphasize that the idol was made of ordinary things and is not worthy of worship. Alternate translation: [These people are the ones who say to a carved piece of wood, ‘You are my father,’ and to a carved stone, ‘You gave birth to me.’]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
(Occurrence 0) their back faces me and not their faces
(Some words not found in UHB: say to,wood father_of,[are]_my you(ms) and,to,stone you ילדת,ני that/for/because/then/when turned to=me backs and=not faces and,at,the_time_of their_calamity_of,their say arise, and,save,us )
“their backs are toward me; their faces are not toward me.” This represents them rejecting God. Alternate translation: [they have turned away from me] or [they have turned their backs toward me and not their faces] or [they have completely rejected me]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
(Occurrence 0) Arise and save us
(Some words not found in UHB: say to,wood father_of,[are]_my you(ms) and,to,stone you ילדת,ני that/for/because/then/when turned to=me backs and=not faces and,at,the_time_of their_calamity_of,their say arise, and,save,us )
It can be made clear that they say this to Yahweh. “Yahweh, come and save us”

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.
