OET interlinear NUM 10:9

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

וְ⁠כִֽי־תָבֹ֨אוּ

and=because/when go

The word you here and in the rest of this verse is plural because Yahweh is addressing all the Israelites along with Moses. So use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 2 topic: writing-poetry

הַ⁠צַּר֙ הַ⁠צֹּרֵ֣ר אֶתְ⁠כֶ֔ם

the,foe [who],attacks ,you(pl)

Yahweh is using a construction in which a verb and its object come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of saying this. Alternate translation: [those who oppose you]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

וַ⁠הֲרֵעֹתֶ֖ם

and,you(pl)_will_give_an_alarm

See how you translated this phrase in [10:5](../10/05.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וֲ⁠נִזְכַּרְתֶּ֗ם לִ⁠פְנֵי֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵי⁠כֶ֔ם וְ⁠נוֹשַׁעְתֶּ֖ם

and,you(pl)_will_be_remembered to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH God_of,your(pl) and,you(pl)_will_be_delivered

The expressions shall be remembered and shall be saved are passive verbal forms. If your language would not use those forms, you could express the ideas in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the actions, the context indicates that it is God. Alternate translation: [and Yahweh your God shall remember you, and he shall save you]

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וֲ⁠נִזְכַּרְתֶּ֗ם

and,you(pl)_will_be_remembered

The word translated as and indicates that what follows is a result of what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a result of what came before. Alternate translation: [and in response you shall be remembered]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנֵי֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵי⁠כֶ֔ם

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH God_of,your(pl)

Here, to the face of represents being in front of Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [before Yahweh your God]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

לִ⁠פְנֵי֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵי⁠כֶ֔ם

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH God_of,your(pl)

Yahweh is speaking of himself in the third person as Yahweh your God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [to my face, who am Yahweh your God]
