uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

וַ⁠יְקַנֵּ֥א יְהוָ֖ה לְ⁠אַרְצ֑⁠וֹ וַ⁠יַּחְמֹ֖ל עַל־עַמּֽ⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_became_jealous YHWH for,land_of,his and,he_had_compassion on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in people_of,his )

Joel is using the past tense to describe something that is going to happen in the future, after the people repent. He may be doing this to show that the event will certainly happen. Alternatively, there may have been a gap of time between the writing of verse 17 and verse 18, and in that time, the people repented. If it would be clearer in your language, you could use the future tense in your translation of these two verses and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [Then Yahweh will be jealous for his land, and he will have pity on his people]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠אַרְצ֑⁠וֹ

for,land_of,his

Joel is using the term land by association to mean the people living on the land. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [for his people]

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.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
