OET interlinear PRO 21:27

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

זֶ֣בַח & תּוֹעֵבָ֑ה & בְ⁠זִמָּ֥ה יְבִיאֶֽ⁠נּוּ

sacrifice_of & abomination & in/on/at/with,evil_intent brings,it

The sacrifice, an abomination, he, it, and a wicked plan refer to things and a type of person in general, not to a specific person or thing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “The sacrifices of … are abominations … they bring them with wicked plans”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

זֶ֣בַח

sacrifice_of

See how you translated the abstract noun sacrifice in [15:8](../15/08.md).

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

תּוֹעֵבָ֑ה

abomination

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of abomination, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “is abominable”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

אַ֝֗ף כִּֽי

also/though that/for/because/then/when

Solomon is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “how much more of an abomination is it when” or “how very abominable is it when”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְ⁠זִמָּ֥ה

in/on/at/with,evil_intent

Here Solomon speaks of someone having a wicked plan while bringing a sacrifice as if the plan were an object that he brought with him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “while having a wicked plan”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְ⁠זִמָּ֥ה

in/on/at/with,evil_intent

Here, plan refers to a purpose or motive. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “with a wicked purpose” or “with wicked intent”
