OET (OET-LV) I_have_become a_laughing-stock[fn] to/from_all/each/any/every people_of_my song_of_their_taunt all_of the_day.
3:14 OSHB note: We read the punctuation in L differently from BHQ.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
הָיִ֤יתִי שְּׂחֹק֙ לְכָל־עַמִּ֔י נְגִינָתָ֖ם כָּל־הַיּֽוֹם
become (Some words not found in UHB: become laughingstock to/from=all/each/any/every people_of,my song_of,their_taunt all/each/any/every the=day )
These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [I have become a constant source of ridicule to my people]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
הָיִ֤יתִי שְּׂחֹק֙ לְכָל־עַמִּ֔י
become (Some words not found in UHB: become laughingstock to/from=all/each/any/every people_of,my song_of,their_taunt all/each/any/every the=day )
Here the writer is speaking of becoming an object of ridicule as if he literally became a laughingstock. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I became an object of mockery to all my people]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
לְכָל־עַמִּ֔י
to/from=all/each/any/every (Some words not found in UHB: become laughingstock to/from=all/each/any/every people_of,my song_of,their_taunt all/each/any/every the=day )
The writer is saying all my people as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: [to my people]
OET (OET-LV) I_have_become a_laughing-stock[fn] to/from_all/each/any/every people_of_my song_of_their_taunt all_of the_day.
3:14 OSHB note: We read the punctuation in L differently from BHQ.
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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
