OET interlinear OBAD 1:2

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

הִנֵּ֥ה קָטֹ֛ן נְתַתִּ֖י⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! small I,will_make_you among,nations despised you(ms) very )

The addressee changes here. This is no longer Yahweh speaking to Judah or the messenger speaking to the other nations. Now Yahweh is speaking directly to the people of Edom. If it would be helpful in your language, you could add a quote introduction here, as in the UST.

הִנֵּ֥ה

(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! small I,will_make_you among,nations despised you(ms) very )

This alerts the people of Edom to pay special attention to what follows. Use a natural way of getting someone’s attention in your language. Alternate translation: [Look] or [Pay attention to what I am about to tell you]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

קָטֹ֛ן נְתַתִּ֖י⁠ךָ בַּ⁠גּוֹיִ֑ם בָּז֥וּי אַתָּ֖ה מְאֹֽד

small (Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! small I,will_make_you among,nations despised you(ms) very )

These two phrases mean similar things and are used together to emphasize that Edom will lose its important status. If it would be more natural in your language, you could combine them as in the UST.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

קָטֹ֛ן נְתַתִּ֖י⁠ךָ בַּ⁠גּוֹיִ֑ם

small (Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! small I,will_make_you among,nations despised you(ms) very )

Something insignificant is spoken of as if it were small in size and could easily be overlooked. Alternate translation: [insignificant among the nations]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

בָּז֥וּי אַתָּ֖ה מְאֹֽד

(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! small I,will_make_you among,nations despised you(ms) very )

You could state this in the active form. Alternate translation: [the people of other nations will hate you]
