OET (OET-RV) Listen, I’ll stir them up there in the place where you sold them,
⇔ and I’ll deflect your behaviour back on yourselves,
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
הִנְנִ֣י מְעִירָ֔ם
here,I [am]_about_of,to_rouse_them
As in 2:19, this expression means “I am going to rouse them.” Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [But I am going to stir them up]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
אֲשֶׁר־מְכַרְתֶּ֥ם אֹתָ֖ם שָׁ֑מָּה
(Some words not found in UHB: here,I [am]_about_of,to_rouse_them from/more_than the,place which/who sold DOM=them there,(to) and,I_will_return recompense_of,your(pl) on,head_of,your(pl) )
It may seem that this expression contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [to which you sold them]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וַהֲשִׁבֹתִ֥י גְמֻלְכֶ֖ם בְּרֹאשְׁכֶֽם
(Some words not found in UHB: here,I [am]_about_of,to_rouse_them from/more_than the,place which/who sold DOM=them there,(to) and,I_will_return recompense_of,your(pl) on,head_of,your(pl) )
See how you translated the same expression in 3:4.
Note 4 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
בְּרֹאשְׁכֶֽם
(Some words not found in UHB: here,I [am]_about_of,to_rouse_them from/more_than the,place which/who sold DOM=them there,(to) and,I_will_return recompense_of,your(pl) on,head_of,your(pl) )
Since Yahweh is referring to multiple nations, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of “head.” Alternate translation: [onto your heads]
OET-LV (JOL 4:7) [fn] Here_I am_about_of_to_rouse_them from the_place where you(pl)_sold DOM_them there_(to) and_I_will_return recompense_of_your(pl) on_head_of_your(pl).
4:7 Note: KJB: Yōʼēl/(Joel).3.7
OET (OET-RV) Listen, I’ll stir them up there in the place where you sold them,
⇔ and I’ll deflect your behaviour back on yourselves,
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.
