OET interlinear PRO 1:24

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

יַ֣עַן

because

Because here indicates that what follows in this verse and the next verse is the reason for the result, which is stated in [1:26–27](../01/26.md). Use the most natural way in your language to state a reason. If you divide [1:24–27](../01/24.md) into two sentences, then you could either remove Because here and add a word to express result at the beginning of [1:26](../01/26.md) as in the UST, or you could add the word “because” to each of the clauses of 1:24-25. Alternate translation: “Since”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

קָ֭רָאתִי וַ⁠תְּמָאֵ֑נוּ נָטִ֥יתִי יָ֝דִ֗⁠י וְ⁠אֵ֣ין מַקְשִֽׁיב

called and,refused stretched_out hand_of,my and,no paid_attention

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word that would show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “I have called and you have refused, yes, I have stretched out my hand and there was no one listening attentively” or “I have called and you have refused, because I have stretched out my hand and there was no one listening attentively”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠תְּמָאֵ֑נוּ

and,refused

Wisdom implies that people refused to listen to what she said. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “and you have refused to listen to me”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

נָטִ֥יתִי יָ֝דִ֗⁠י

stretched_out hand_of,my

This phrase stretched out my hand is an idiom that refers to beckoning someone or inviting a person to come. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I stretched out my hand to beckon you” or “I beckoned you”
