OET interlinear NUM 13:30

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֑ה

to/towards Mosheh

Here, the phrase to Moses could mean that Caleb hushed: (1) all the people who were assembled with Moses. Alternate translation: [who were assembled before Moses] (2) the people who were near Moses. Alternate translation: [near Moses]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

עָלֹ֤ה נַעֲלֶה֙ וְ⁠יָרַ֣שְׁנוּ אֹתָ֔⁠הּ כִּֽי־יָכ֥וֹל נוּכַ֖ל לָֽ⁠הּ

to_go_up go_up and,we_will_take_possession_of DOM=her/it that/for/because/then/when to_do we_can_do to/for=her/it

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since being able, we are able against it gives the reason for the result that going up, we will go up, and we will possess it describes. Alternate translation: [Being able, we are able against it. So, going up, we will go up, and we will possess it]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

עָלֹ֤ה נַעֲלֶה֙ & יָכ֥וֹל נוּכַ֖ל

to_go_up go_up & to_do we_can_do

The author is repeating forms of the verbs go up and able in order to intensify his expression of the ideas that they convey. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [We will certainly go up … for we are certainly able]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

עָלֹ֤ה נַעֲלֶה֙

to_go_up go_up

In keeping with what is usual for his language and culture, the author is marking travel for change in elevation. If this expression contains extra information that would not be natural to express in your language, you could shorten it. See how you expressed the idea in [13:17](../13/17.md). Alternate translation: [Going, we will go]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

נַעֲלֶה֙ וְ⁠יָרַ֣שְׁנוּ אֹתָ֔⁠הּ & נוּכַ֖ל

go_up and,we_will_take_possession_of DOM=her/it & we_can_do

By we will go up … and we will possess it … we are able, Caleb means to include both himself and his listeners, so use the inclusive form of those words if your language marks that distinction.

Note 6 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠יָרַ֣שְׁנוּ אֹתָ֔⁠הּ & לָֽ⁠הּ

and,we_will_take_possession_of DOM=her/it & to/for=her/it

The pronoun it refers to the land that the Israelites will possess and go up against. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [and we will possess the land … against the land]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

נוּכַ֖ל לָֽ⁠הּ

we_can_do to/for=her/it

Caleb is using we are able against it as a common expression of his culture to mean “we are able to conquer it.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [we are able to conquer it]
