OET interlinear 2 KI 3:20

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

וַ⁠יְהִ֤י

and=he/it_was

The author is using this phrase to introduce a new development within an event. See how you translated the same phrase in [2:9](../02/09.md).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

כַּ⁠עֲל֣וֹת הַ⁠מִּנְחָ֔ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in,morning just,as_went_up the,offering and=see/lo/see! waters came from,the_direction_of ʼEdōm and=she/it_was_filled the=earth/land DOM the=waters )

The author is speaking of the grain offering as if it were a living thing that went up by itself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [when they offered up the grain offering]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠הִנֵּה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in,morning just,as_went_up the,offering and=see/lo/see! waters came from,the_direction_of ʼEdōm and=she/it_was_filled the=earth/land DOM the=waters )

See how you translated the term “behold” in [1:9](../01/09.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠תִּמָּלֵ֥א הָ⁠אָ֖רֶץ אֶת־הַ⁠מָּֽיִם

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in,morning just,as_went_up the,offering and=see/lo/see! waters came from,the_direction_of ʼEdōm and=she/it_was_filled the=earth/land DOM the=waters )

The expression was filled is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, the context indicates that it is Yahweh. Alternate translation: [and waters filled the land]
