OET (OET-LV) No sons_of_my if/because is_not good the_report which I am_hearing are_spreading the_people_of YHWH.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
אַ֖ל בָּנָ֑י
not sons_of,my
Eli 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: [Stop doing these things, my sons!]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
אַ֖ל בָּנָ֑י כִּ֠י לֽוֹא־טוֹבָ֤ה הַשְּׁמֻעָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָנֹכִ֣י שֹׁמֵ֔עַ מַעֲבִרִ֖ים עַם־יְהוָֽה
not sons_of,my that/for/because/then/when not good the,report which/who I hear spreading people YHWH
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Because the report that I am hearing the people of Yahweh passing on is not good, you must stop doing these things, my sons!]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes
לֽוֹא־טוֹבָ֤ה הַשְּׁמֻעָה֙
not good the,report
Eli is expressing a positive meaning by using a negative word together with a term that is the opposite of his intended meaning. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the report is very bad]
2:22-25 Eli’s weak attempts to change his sons’ behavior (cp. 2:29) indicate that he had raised them without discipline (3:13).
OET (OET-LV) No sons_of_my if/because is_not good the_report which I am_hearing are_spreading the_people_of YHWH.
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.
