OET interlinear LAM 5:22

uW Translation Notes:

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]
