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.

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical
וְאִם־אַ֕יִן תֵּ֤צֵא אֵשׁ֙
and=if not come_out fire
Jotham is describing a further condition in which a second event would take place if a first event had. If it would be helpful in your language, you could explicitly state the implied “then” before the second part of this statement. Alternate translation: “But if not, then may fire go forth”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְאִם־אַ֕יִן
and=if not
Jotham 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: “But if you have not acted in truth and in integrity with Jerubbaal and with his house this day”

come_out fire from,Abimelech and,consume DOM masters Shekem and=DOM house_of מִלּוֹא and,come_out fire from,lords Shekem and=from=household מִלּוֹא and,consume DOM ʼAⱱīmelek
Jotham is speaking as if fire would literally go forth from Abimelek and burn up the lords of Shechem and Beth Millo and as if fire from them would also burn up Abimelek. Jotham is using fire to represent the destruction of warfare. He means that, if Abimelek and the lords of Shechem have not treated Gideon and his family right, then he hopes and expects that they will turn against each other and fight a war and destroy each other. (Part of what he said actually was fulfilled literally, when Abimelek burned the tower of Shechem, as verse 49 describes.) If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “may Abimelek and you lords of Shechem fight a war against each other that destroys all of you”
