OET (OET-LV) And_ Bilˊām _he_answered and_he/it_said to the_servants_of Bālāq if he_will_give to_me Bālāq the_fullness_of his_house_of_his silver and_gold not I_will_be_able to_transgress DOM the_mouth_of YHWH god_of_my for_doing a_small_thing or a_large_thing.
OET (OET-RV) “Even if Balak gave me a houseful of gold and sliver,” Bileam told Balak’s servant, “I still couldn’t go against Yahweh’s instructions, even if it was just to do something small.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
מְלֹ֥א בֵית֖וֹ
full_of his_house_of,his
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of fullness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [everything that fills his house]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
אֶת & יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֔י
DOM & YHWH God_of,my
Balaam is using the mouth of Yahweh my God to represent what Yahweh commands. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the command of Yahweh my God]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / merism
לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת קְטַנָּ֖ה א֥וֹ גְדוֹלָֽה
for=doing small or great
Balaam is referring to any action at all by naming two extremes, small and great. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [to do anything at all]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת קְטַנָּ֖ה א֥וֹ גְדוֹלָֽה
for=doing small or great
Balaam is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [to do anything, whether small or great]

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.
