OET interlinear PSA 33:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

בִּ⁠דְבַ֣ר יְ֭הוָה שָׁמַ֣יִם נַעֲשׂ֑וּ וּ⁠בְ⁠ר֥וּחַ פִּ֝֗י⁠ו כָּל־צְבָאָֽ⁠ם

(Some words not found in UHB: by,the_word_of YHWH heavens made and,by,the_breath_of his_mouth_of,his all/each/any/every their=group/army/objects )

These two phrases 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, connect the phrases with a word that shows that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Another approach would be to combine them and express the emphasis in another way. See how you as a team have decided to translate the parallel phrases in the Psalms, and follow that approach here and throughout this psalm. Alternate translation: [By the word of Yahweh the heavens were made, indeed, by the breath of his mouth, all of their host] or [By his command, Yahweh made the heavens and everything in them]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בִּ⁠דְבַ֣ר יְ֭הוָה

(Some words not found in UHB: by,the_word_of YHWH heavens made and,by,the_breath_of his_mouth_of,his all/each/any/every their=group/army/objects )

Here, the word of Yahweh represents the command that Yahweh spoke using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [By the command of Yahweh] or [When Yahweh commanded]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

שָׁמַ֣יִם נַעֲשׂ֑וּ

(Some words not found in UHB: by,the_word_of YHWH heavens made and,by,the_breath_of his_mouth_of,his all/each/any/every their=group/army/objects )

The expression were made is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, the context indicates that it is Yahweh. Alternate translation: [he made the heavens]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וּ⁠בְ⁠ר֥וּחַ פִּ֝֗י⁠ו

and,by,the_breath_of (Some words not found in UHB: by,the_word_of YHWH heavens made and,by,the_breath_of his_mouth_of,his all/each/any/every their=group/army/objects )

Here, the breath of his mouth represents Yahweh speaking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and by what Yahweh spoke]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

כָּל־צְבָאָֽ⁠ם

(Some words not found in UHB: by,the_word_of YHWH heavens made and,by,the_breath_of his_mouth_of,his all/each/any/every their=group/army/objects )

The psalmist is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [all the stars in the heavens were made]
