OET interlinear NEH 9:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אַתָּה־ה֣וּא יְהוָה֮ לְ⁠בַדֶּ⁠ךָ֒

(Some words not found in UHB: you(ms) he/it YHWH you,,alone את you(ms)_have_done/made DOM the=heavens heaven_of the=heavens and=all their=group/army/objects the=earth/land and=all which/who on/upon=it(f) the,seas and=all which/who (is)_in=them and=you(ms) give_life DOM of_them_of,all and,the_host_of the=heavens to/for=yourself(m) worship )

At the end of the previous verse, the Levites started speaking to God, but they still meant for the people to hear their words and do what they said. Now the Levites are addressing God directly in prayer. If it would be helpful in your language, you could indicate this with an introductory phrase. Alternate translation: [Then these Levites prayed to God and said, ‘Yahweh, you are the only true God]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אַתָּה־ה֣וּא יְהוָה֮ לְ⁠בַדֶּ⁠ךָ֒

(Some words not found in UHB: you(ms) he/it YHWH you,,alone את you(ms)_have_done/made DOM the=heavens heaven_of the=heavens and=all their=group/army/objects the=earth/land and=all which/who on/upon=it(f) the,seas and=all which/who (is)_in=them and=you(ms) give_life DOM of_them_of,all and,the_host_of the=heavens to/for=yourself(m) worship )

This means you alone are the one or you are the only one. Alternate translation: [You, Yahweh, are the only true God]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

אֶֽת־הַ⁠שָּׁמַיִם֩ שְׁמֵ֨י הַ⁠שָּׁמַ֜יִם

DOM (Some words not found in UHB: you(ms) he/it YHWH you,,alone את you(ms)_have_done/made DOM the=heavens heaven_of the=heavens and=all their=group/army/objects the=earth/land and=all which/who on/upon=it(f) the,seas and=all which/who (is)_in=them and=you(ms) give_life DOM of_them_of,all and,the_host_of the=heavens to/for=yourself(m) worship )

In the ancient Hebrew cosmology, the first phrase likely referred to the sky, which was envisioned as a solid dome above the earth (See: the note to 1:9). The second phrase likely referred to the realm beyond the sky, which was understood to be the dwelling place of God. Alternate translation: [the sky and everything beyond it]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠כָל־צְבָאָ֗⁠ם

and=all their=group/army/objects

Host means army. The “host of heaven” is likely a figurative expression for the stars, which seem like a large army in the sky. However, this phrase might refer to heavenly beings which dwell in heaven with God. Alternate translation: [and all the stars]

וְ⁠אַתָּ֖ה מְחַיֶּ֣ה אֶת־כֻּלָּ֑⁠ם

(Some words not found in UHB: you(ms) he/it YHWH you,,alone את you(ms)_have_done/made DOM the=heavens heaven_of the=heavens and=all their=group/army/objects the=earth/land and=all which/who on/upon=it(f) the,seas and=all which/who (is)_in=them and=you(ms) give_life DOM of_them_of,all and,the_host_of the=heavens to/for=yourself(m) worship )

Them means everything living on the land and in the seas. Alternate translation: [You give life to all of these creatures] or [you are the one who created all of these living things]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠צְבָ֥א הַ⁠שָּׁמַ֖יִם לְ⁠ךָ֥ מִשְׁתַּחֲוִֽים

and,the_host_of (Some words not found in UHB: you(ms) he/it YHWH you,,alone את you(ms)_have_done/made DOM the=heavens heaven_of the=heavens and=all their=group/army/objects the=earth/land and=all which/who on/upon=it(f) the,seas and=all which/who (is)_in=them and=you(ms) give_life DOM of_them_of,all and,the_host_of the=heavens to/for=yourself(m) worship )

Earlier in the sentence, the host of heaven was a figurative way of describing the stars as if they were an army. Now here, the stars themselves represent the angels of heaven. Alternate translation: [all the angels bow down and worship you]
