(Some words not found in UHB: famine that/for/because/then/when will_belong in/on_the=earth pestilence that/for/because/then/when will_belong blight mildew I_will_increase grasshopper that/for/because/then/when will_belong that/for/because/then/when besieges to=him/it enemy_of,its in=land its_gates_of,his all/each/any/every plague all/each/any/every sickness )
A blight is a kind of plant disease that damages or destroys crops. If your readers would not be familiar with what a blight is, you could use a more general term or explain it in a footnote. Alternate translation: [plant disease] or [crop disease]
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
יֵרָק֜וֹן
mildew
A mildew is a kind of fungal disease that damages crops. If your readers would not be familiar with what a mildew is, you could use the name of a similar thing that your readers would recognize, or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [fungus] or [crop disease]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
חָסִיל֙
grasshopper
This term, like the preceding term locust, refers to some kind of insect that devours crops. Alternate translation, as in the UST: [grasshopper]
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
כִּ֧י יָֽצַר־ל֛וֹ אֹיְב֖וֹ
(Some words not found in UHB: famine that/for/because/then/when will_belong in/on_the=earth pestilence that/for/because/then/when will_belong blight mildew I_will_increase grasshopper that/for/because/then/when will_belong that/for/because/then/when besieges to=him/it enemy_of,its in=land its_gates_of,his all/each/any/every plague all/each/any/every sickness )
The pronoun his refers to any Israelite whose city is under siege, while it refers to the city or land being besieged. The pronoun him also refers to the same Israelite. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [if someone’s enemy makes it narrow to him]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
כִּ֧י יָֽצַר־ל֛וֹ אֹיְב֖וֹ
(Some words not found in UHB: famine that/for/because/then/when will_belong in/on_the=earth pestilence that/for/because/then/when will_belong blight mildew I_will_increase grasshopper that/for/because/then/when will_belong that/for/because/then/when besieges to=him/it enemy_of,its in=land its_gates_of,his all/each/any/every plague all/each/any/every sickness )
Solomon is using makes it narrow to him as a common expression of his culture to mean “puts him in a very dangerous situation.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. If you have already translated the book of 1 Samuel, see how you translated the similar expression in [1 Samuel 28:15](../1sa/28/15.md). Alternate translation: [if someone’s enemy puts him in a very dangerous situation]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בְּאֶ֣רֶץ שְׁעָרָ֑יו
(Some words not found in UHB: famine that/for/because/then/when will_belong in/on_the=earth pestilence that/for/because/then/when will_belong blight mildew I_will_increase grasshopper that/for/because/then/when will_belong that/for/because/then/when besieges to=him/it enemy_of,its in=land its_gates_of,his all/each/any/every plague all/each/any/every sickness )
Here, the gates of a city represent the city itself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [in the place where his city is located] or [by besieging his city]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
כָּל־נֶ֖גַע כָּֽל־מַחֲלָֽה
(Some words not found in UHB: famine that/for/because/then/when will_belong in/on_the=earth pestilence that/for/because/then/when will_belong blight mildew I_will_increase grasshopper that/for/because/then/when will_belong that/for/because/then/when besieges to=him/it enemy_of,its in=land its_gates_of,his all/each/any/every plague all/each/any/every sickness )
The author 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: [if there is any plague or any sickness]

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.
