OET (OET-LV) And_it_was a_day one it it_will_be_known to/for_YHWH not day and_not night and_it_was to_the_time_of evening it_will_be light.
OET (OET-RV) On that day (known only to Yahweh), there’ll no longer be day or night, because it’ll stay light at ‘night’.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ה֛וּא יִוָּדַ֥ע לַֽיהוָ֖ה
he/it known to/for=YHWH
The expression will be known 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. Alternate translation: [Yahweh knows about it]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
לֹא־י֣וֹם וְלֹא־לָ֑יְלָה
not day and=not night
Zechariah 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: [it will not be day and it will not be night]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / merism
לֹא־י֣וֹם וְלֹא־לָ֑יְלָה
not day and=not night
Zechariah is using the two parts of a full day, day and night, to mean the entire cycle of time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [unlike any ordinary period of time]
Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
לֹא־י֣וֹם וְלֹא־לָ֑יְלָה וְהָיָ֥ה לְעֵֽת־עֶ֖רֶב יִֽהְיֶה־אֽוֹר
not day and=not night and=it_was to_[the],time_of evening will_belong light
Zechariah writes And it will happen here to indicate a contrast between the darkness that would normally be expected at evening and the light that will be present instead. In your translation, do not try to explain or fix this contract, instead indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [there will be neither day nor night, but at the time of evening there will be light]
OET (OET-LV) And_it_was a_day one it it_will_be_known to/for_YHWH not day and_not night and_it_was to_the_time_of evening it_will_be light.
OET (OET-RV) On that day (known only to Yahweh), there’ll no longer be day or night, because it’ll stay light at ‘night’.
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.
