Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

כִּ֣י
that/for/because/then/when
The word translated as for indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: “because”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd
אַתָּ֔ה & אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ וּבְךָ֞
you(ms) & God,your and,in/on/at/with,you
Even though Moses is speaking to a group of people, you and your are singular in Hebrew here. If the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could use the plural forms in your translation.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הָאֲדָמָֽה
on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of the=soil
Here, face represents the surface of the earth and everything that exists on it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “are anywhere on the earth”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
כִּ֣י עַ֤ם קָדוֹשׁ֙ אַתָּ֔ה לַיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ וּבְךָ֞ בָּחַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה לִֽהְי֥וֹת לוֹ֙ לְעַ֣ם סְגֻלָּ֔ה
that/for/because/then/when people holy you(ms) to/for=YHWH God,your and,in/on/at/with,you chosen YHWH to=be to=him/it as,people treasured_possession
These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second clause emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the clauses with a word that shows that the second clause is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “for you are a nation set apart for Yahweh your God, indeed, he has chosen you to be a people for his possession”
