OET (OET-LV) If/because (if) utterly_(reject) you_have_rejected_us you_are_angry towards_us up_to muchness.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
כִּ֚י אִם־מָאֹ֣ס מְאַסְתָּ֔נוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when if to_reject you,have_rejected_us angry towards,us until very )
The writer is using the question form to express fear and anguish about the possibility that God has completely rejected his people. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate these as statements or as exclamations. Alternate translation: [For you have completely rejected us! You have been angry against us beyond measure!]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication
מָאֹ֣ס מְאַסְתָּ֔נוּ
to_reject (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when if to_reject you,have_rejected_us angry towards,us until very )
The writer is repeating forms of the verb rejected in order to intensify his expression of the idea that it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [have you rejected, yes, rejected us]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
עַד־מְאֹֽד
until very
The writer says beyond measure as an extreme statement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [so greatly]
OET (OET-LV) If/because (if) utterly_(reject) you_have_rejected_us you_are_angry towards_us up_to muchness.
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.
