OET (OET-RV) The builders had their swords strapped to their sides as they worked, and the man who would sound the trumpet stayed with me.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠הַ֨⁠בּוֹנִ֔ים אִ֥ישׁ חַרְבּ֛⁠וֹ אֲסוּרִ֥ים עַל־מָתְנָ֖י⁠ו וּ⁠בוֹנִ֑ים

(və⁠ha⁠bōnim ʼiysh ḩarb⁠ō ʼₐşūrim ˊal-mātənāy⁠v ū⁠ⱱōnim)

In this context, a man means “each person.” Alternate translation: [each builder worked with his sword strapped to his side]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠הַ⁠תּוֹקֵ֥עַ בַּ⁠שּׁוֹפָ֖ר אֶצְלִֽ⁠י

(və⁠ha⁠ttōqēˊa ba⁠shshōfār ʼeʦli⁠y)

The implication is that Nehemiah stationed this person next to him so that he could sound a signal if needed. (This becomes clear in [4:20](../04/20.md).) If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly here. Alternate translation: [And I stationed someone next to me who would blow a ram’s horn if we needed a signal]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

4:18-19 Through the trumpeter, Nehemiah could sound the alarm to direct workers to any portion of the wall that might be attacked.

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.
