Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְעַתָּ֖ה
and=now
See how you translated this expression, which introduces the main business of a communication, in 1:2 and its other occurrences.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
אֲרוּרִ֣ים אַתֶּ֑ם
cursed (Some words not found in UHB: and=now cursed you_all and=not cease some_of,you_all slaves and,hewers wood and,drawers waters for,house God,my )
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation, as in the UST: “Yahweh has cursed you”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
וְלֹֽא־ יִכָּרֵ֨ת מִכֶּ֜ם עֶ֗בֶד וְחֹטְבֵ֥י עֵצִ֛ים וְשֹֽׁאֲבֵי־ מַ֖יִם
and=not cease some_of,you_all slaves and,hewers wood and,drawers waters
If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative verb cut off, which in this context means “cease to be.” Alternate translation: “and each of you shall always be a slave who hews wood and draws water”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְלֹֽא־יִכָּרֵ֨ת מִכֶּ֜ם עֶ֗בֶד
and=not (Some words not found in UHB: and=now cursed you_all and=not cease some_of,you_all slaves and,hewers wood and,drawers waters for,house God,my )
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “And we will not cut off any of you from being a slave”
9:23 The Gibeonites were cursed, meaning they were diminished to the status of servants.
• At that time, the house of . . . God was the Tabernacle; later, it was the Temple at Jerusalem.
OET (OET-LV) And_now [are]_cursed you_all and_not he_will_be_cut_off some_of_you_all a_slave and_hewers of_wood(s) and_drawers of_water for_house god_my.
OET (OET-RV) Because of that, you’re all cursed and you’ll always be our slaves—you’ll all be the woodcutters and water-carriers for the house of my God.”
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.
