OET interlinear NEH 13:27

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

וְ⁠לָ⁠כֶ֣ם הֲ⁠נִשְׁמַ֗ע לַ⁠עֲשֹׂת֙ אֵ֣ת כָּל־הָ⁠רָעָ֤ה הַ⁠גְּדוֹלָה֙ הַ⁠זֹּ֔את לִ⁠מְעֹ֖ל בֵּֽ⁠אלֹהֵ֑י⁠נוּ לְ⁠הֹשִׁ֖יב נָשִׁ֥ים נָכְרִיּֽוֹת

and,to,you(pl) (Some words not found in UHB: and,to,you(pl) will,we_listen? to,do DOM all/each/any/every the,evil (the),great (the),this to,act_unfaithfully against,God_of,our by,marrying women/wives foreign )

Nehemiah uses a question form for emphasis once again as he continues to scold these men. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate what he says as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [We will not accept your excuses and allow you to keep doing this thing that is so wrong]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠לָ⁠כֶ֣ם הֲ⁠נִשְׁמַ֗ע

and,to,you(pl) (Some words not found in UHB: and,to,you(pl) will,we_listen? to,do DOM all/each/any/every the,evil (the),great (the),this to,act_unfaithfully against,God_of,our by,marrying women/wives foreign )

As in 9:16 and 9:29, listen in this context is an idiom that means not just to hear a statement about a course of action, but to agree to follow it. If your language has a word for “listen” that also means “agree,” you could use it here. Alternate translation: [we will not heed your words]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אֵ֣ת כָּל־הָ⁠רָעָ֤ה הַ⁠גְּדוֹלָה֙ הַ⁠זֹּ֔את

DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and,to,you(pl) will,we_listen? to,do DOM all/each/any/every the,evil (the),great (the),this to,act_unfaithfully against,God_of,our by,marrying women/wives foreign )

Here, the word all does not indicate the entirety of something. Instead, it expresses emphasis. Alternate translation: [this thing that is so wrong]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לִ⁠מְעֹ֖ל בֵּֽ⁠אלֹהֵ֑י⁠נוּ לְ⁠הֹשִׁ֖יב נָשִׁ֥ים נָכְרִיּֽוֹת

to,act_unfaithfully (Some words not found in UHB: and,to,you(pl) will,we_listen? to,do DOM all/each/any/every the,evil (the),great (the),this to,act_unfaithfully against,God_of,our by,marrying women/wives foreign )

Here acting unfaithfully means violating the Law of Moses. Nehemiah assumes that these men will know that the law forbade the Israelites to marry outside their people group. (In fact, the law does so using language very much like the oath that Nehemiah made these men swear, for example, “Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons,” Deuteronomy 7:3.) If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: [By marrying foreign women, you are breaking the law that God gave us]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לְ⁠הֹשִׁ֖יב

(Some words not found in UHB: and,to,you(pl) will,we_listen? to,do DOM all/each/any/every the,evil (the),great (the),this to,act_unfaithfully against,God_of,our by,marrying women/wives foreign )

As in 13:23, this is an expression that refers to marriage. Alternate translation: [marrying]
