OET interlinear PROV 1:26

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

גַּם־אֲ֭נִי

also/yet I

[1:26–27](../01/26.md) state the result of what was stated in [1:24–25](../01/24.md). If you divided [1:24–27](../01/24.md) into two sentences and removed Because from [1:24](../01/24.md), then you will need to add a word here to express the result of the reasons given in [1:24–25](../01/24.md). Alternate translation: “As a result, I too” or “So, I too”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

גַּם־אֲ֭נִי בְּ⁠אֵידְ⁠כֶ֣ם אֶשְׂחָ֑ק אֶ֝לְעַ֗ג בְּ⁠בֹ֣א פַחְדְּ⁠כֶֽם

also/yet I at,your_of,calamity laugh mock when,comes dread_of,your(pl)

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 shows that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “I too shall laugh at your calamity, yes, I shall mock when your dread comes”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

גַּם־אֲ֭נִי

also/yet I

The phrase translated as I too shifts the focus from the foolish people mentioned in [1:24–25](../01/24.md) to the person speaking, who represents wisdom. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation,n: “I, in turn,” or “I, for my part”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְּ⁠אֵידְ⁠כֶ֣ם & בְּ⁠בֹ֣א פַחְדְּ⁠כֶֽם

at,your_of,calamity & when,comes dread_of,your(pl)

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of calamity and dread, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: “when you suffer … when you are scared”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

בְּ⁠בֹ֣א פַחְדְּ⁠כֶֽם

when,comes dread_of,your(pl)

Here, wisdom speaks of experiencing dread as if it were a person who comes to someone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “when you experience dread”
