and,acknowledge the=day that/for/because/then/when not DOM children,your_all's which/who not known and=which not seen DOM discipline YHWH God,your_all's DOM greatness,his DOM his/its=hand the,mighty and,arm,his the,outstretched

If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these clauses so that the relationship between know and discipline is clearer. Alternate translation: “And know today the discipline of Yahweh your God, which is not to your sons, who have not known and who have not seen it, his greatness, his mighty hand, or his outstretched arm,”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

לֹ֣א

not

Moses uses the word not here to indicate a strong contrast between what the Israelites have experienced and what their descendants have experienced. Moses means that the Israelites, and not their descendants, have personally experienced Yahweh’s discipline. In your translation, indicate this strong contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “in fact it is not”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֶת־בְּנֵי⁠כֶ֗ם

DOM children,your_all's

Here, sons means “descendants.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to your descendants”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לֹא־רָא֔וּ

not seen

Here, Moses speaks of experiencing something as if it were being *seen. If this word does not have that meaning in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “have not experienced”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
אֶת־יָד⁠וֹ֙ הַ⁠חֲזָקָ֔ה וּ⁠זְרֹע֖⁠וֹ הַ⁠נְּטוּיָֽה

DOM DOM DOM DOM his/its=hand the,mighty and,arm,his the,outstretched

The terms mighty hand and outstretched arm mean similar things. Moses is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “and his very great power”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אֶת־יָד⁠וֹ֙ הַ⁠חֲזָקָ֔ה

DOM DOM DOM DOM his/its=hand the,mighty

Here the word hand represents God’s power. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “his mighty power”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וּ⁠זְרֹע֖⁠וֹ הַ⁠נְּטוּיָֽה

and,arm,his the,outstretched

Here, arm refers to Yahweh’s use of his power. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “or his strong deeds”
