OET-LV No OET-LV JOEL 3:14 verse available
OET (OET-RV) Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision,
⇔ because Yahweh’s day is near in the valley of decision.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication
הֲמוֹנִ֣ים הֲמוֹנִ֔ים בְּעֵ֖מֶק הֶֽחָר֑וּץ & בְּעֵ֖מֶק
(hₐmōnim hₐmōnim bəˊēmeq heḩārūʦ & bəˊēmeq)
Joel is repeating the word multitudes in order to intensify the idea that it expresses. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: [Vast multitudes in the valley of decision]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
הֲמוֹנִ֣ים הֲמוֹנִ֔ים בְּעֵ֖מֶק הֶֽחָר֑וּץ & בְּעֵ֖מֶק
(hₐmōnim hₐmōnim bəˊēmeq heḩārūʦ & bəˊēmeq)
Joel is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [Multitudes, multitudes are in the valley of decision]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
בְּעֵ֖מֶק הֶֽחָר֑וּץ & בְּעֵ֖מֶק
(bəˊēmeq heḩārūʦ & bəˊēmeq)
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of decision, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [in the valley where I will decide their fate]
3:14 Thousands upon thousands (literally roaring, roaring; or crowds, crowds): The repetition of the Hebrew word captures the chaotic noise made by an immense crowd.
• valley of decision: The name of the valley is changed (cp. 3:2-3, 12) because now the Lord’s judgment had been decided.

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.
