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.

Even though Moses is speaking to a group of people, you and your are singular in this verse. If the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could use the plural forms in your translation.

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

שְׂאֵת⁠וֹ֒

carry,it

The pronoun it refers to the tithe of crops and livestock. If this is not clear for your readers, you could repeat the phrase from the previous verse. Alternate translation: “to carry the tithe from all your produce and livestock”

If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these phrases so that it is clear that Yahweh must bless the Israelites before the Israelites can sell their tithe. Alternate translation: “When Yahweh your God blesses you, and you are not able to carry it to the place that Yahweh your God will put his name because it is too far”

כִּ֥י יְבָרֶכְ⁠ךָ֖ יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶֽי⁠ךָ

The implication is that Yahweh will bless the Israelites by allowing their crops and cattle to grow well. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “when Yahweh your God blesses your fields and flocks”
