Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י
and=he/it_was word_of YHWH to=me
Zechariah is using the word of Yahweh came to me as a common expression of the culture to mean “Yahweh communicated a message to me.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Yahweh communicated a message to me]
Note 2 topic: writing-newevent
וַיְהִ֥י דְבַר יְהוָ֖ה וַיְהִ֥י אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר
and=he/it_was word_of YHWH (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was word_of YHWH to=me to=say )
Zechariah is using the phrase And the word of Yahweh came to me to introduce a new event in the story. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.
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.
