uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וַ⁠יִּסֹּ֣גוּ וַֽ֭⁠יִּבְגְּדוּ כַּ⁠אֲבוֹתָ֑⁠ם נֶ֝הְפְּכ֗וּ כְּ⁠קֶ֣שֶׁת רְמִיָּֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_turned_back and,they_acted_treacherously like,ancestors_of,their twisted like,a_bow_of faulty )

For more information on translating parallelism, see the note at [78:1](../078/001.md). Alternate translation: [They turned back and acted treacherously like their fathers, being as unreliable as a bow of deceit]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כַּ⁠אֲבוֹתָ֑⁠ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_turned_back and,they_acted_treacherously like,ancestors_of,their twisted like,a_bow_of faulty )

The point of this comparison is that just as their fathers were unfaithful to God, so were the Israelites. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [in the same unfaithful way as their fathers]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כְּ⁠קֶ֣שֶׁת רְמִיָּֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_turned_back and,they_acted_treacherously like,ancestors_of,their twisted like,a_bow_of faulty )

The point of this comparison is that just as a bow of deceit is unreliable and does not shoot straight, so were the Israelites unreliable. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [as unreliable as a faulty bow]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

כְּ⁠קֶ֣שֶׁת רְמִיָּֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_turned_back and,they_acted_treacherously like,ancestors_of,their twisted like,a_bow_of faulty )

The psalmist is using the possessive form to describe a bow that is characterized by deceit. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [into a deceitful bow] or [as a faulty bow]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

כְּ⁠קֶ֣שֶׁת רְמִיָּֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_turned_back and,they_acted_treacherously like,ancestors_of,their twisted like,a_bow_of faulty )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of deceit, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [into a deceitful bow] or [as a faulty bow]

OET-LV English word order (‘Reverse’ interlinear)

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
