Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וָאָעִ֣ידָה בָהֶ֗ם
and,warned, in/among=them
As in 9:26, this phrase means, “I warned them that what they were doing was wrong.”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous
וָאָעִ֣ידָה
and,warned,
In this context, the conjunction And indicates that this event took place at the same time as the event the story has just related. If it would be helpful in your language, you could show this relationship by using a phrase such as “each time they did this”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
מַדּ֜וּעַ אַתֶּ֤ם לֵנִים֙ נֶ֣גֶד הַחוֹמָ֔ה
why you_all spend_the_night in_front_of the,wall
As in 13:17, Nehemiah is using a question form for emphasis as he scolds these merchants. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate what he says as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “I do not allow you to spend the night just outside the city wall”
מַדּ֜וּעַ אַתֶּ֤ם לֵנִים֙ נֶ֣גֶד הַחוֹמָ֔ה
why you_all spend_the_night in_front_of the,wall
The implication, as in 13:20, is that the traders want to begin selling first thing the next morning. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “I do not allow you to spend the night just outside the city wall so you could start selling your goods as soon as the Sabbath day begins”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אִם־תִּשְׁנ֕וּ
if do_~_again
This is an idiom that means “if you do this again.”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
יָ֖ד אֶשְׁלַ֣ח בָּכֶ֑ם
hands lay in/on/at/with,you_all
This is an idiom that means “I will use force against you.” Alternate translation: “I will forcibly drive you away from the city”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
יָ֖ד אֶשְׁלַ֣ח
hands lay
Here, hand represents power and action. Alternate translation: “forcibly drive away”
Note 7 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential
מִן־הָעֵ֣ת הַהִ֔יא לֹא־בָ֖אוּ בַּשַּׁבָּֽת
from/more_than the,time the,that not come in/on/at/with,sabbath
The expression in the first phrase indicates that the event it introduces took place after the event the story has just described. If it would be helpful in your language, you could show this relationship by using a phrase such as “after that.” Alternate translation: “After that, the merchants no longer came to the city on the Sabbath”
13:15-31 Nehemiah instituted two additional reforms to restore proper Sabbath observance (13:15-22) and proper marriage practices (13:23-31). These two sections have similar structures: Nehemiah discovered a problem, corrected the problem, and asked God for his blessing.

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.
