OET interlinear PRO 24:32

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וָֽ⁠אֶחֱזֶ֣ה אָ֭נֹכִֽי & רָ֝אִ֗יתִי

and,saw I & looked

The writer 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 the previous two verses if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “And I myself looked at that field and vineyard … I saw them”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

וָֽ⁠אֶחֱזֶ֣ה אָ֭נֹכִֽי

and,saw I

Here, the writer uses the word myself to emphasize the significance of his observations about the lazy person’s land. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this significance. Alternate translation: “And I looked with my own eyes”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אָשִׁ֣ית לִבִּ֑⁠י

I_will_put/place heart_of,my

See how you translated the same use of “set your heart” in [22:17](../22/17.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לָקַ֥חְתִּי מוּסָֽר

received instruction

See how you translated the same use of instruction in [1:3](../01/03.md).

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לָקַ֥חְתִּי מוּסָֽר

received instruction

The writer assumes that his readers will understand that what follows in the next two verses is the instruction he refers to here. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “I received the following instruction” or “I learned the following lesson”
