Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem
  into slavery to the Greeks in faraway places.
But I’m going to reverse your crime.

And they’ll sell them to the far-off Sabeans.”

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

וּ⁠מָכַרְתִּ֞י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_will_sell DOM sons_of,your(pl) and=DOM daughters_of,your(pl) in,the_hand_of sons_of Yehuda and,they,will_sell_them to_[the],Sabeans to/towards nation far_away that/for/because/then/when YHWH spoken )

Yahweh is using the word For to introduce more specific information about what he described in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [This will happen when I sell]

Note 2 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

בְּ⁠יַד֙ בְּנֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_will_sell DOM sons_of,your(pl) and=DOM daughters_of,your(pl) in,the_hand_of sons_of Yehuda and,they,will_sell_them to_[the],Sabeans to/towards nation far_away that/for/because/then/when YHWH spoken )

Since Yahweh is referring to a group of people, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of hand. Alternate translation: [into the hands of the sons of Judah]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וּ⁠מָכַרְתִּ֞י אֶת־בְּנֵי⁠כֶ֣ם וְ⁠אֶת־בְּנֽוֹתֵי⁠כֶ֗ם בְּ⁠יַד֙ בְּנֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_will_sell DOM sons_of,your(pl) and=DOM daughters_of,your(pl) in,the_hand_of sons_of Yehuda and,they,will_sell_them to_[the],Sabeans to/towards nation far_away that/for/because/then/when YHWH spoken )

Yahweh is using one part of a person, the hand, to represent the whole person in the act of taking possession of something. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express this meaning with more general terms. Alternate translation: [For I will sell your sons and your daughters to the sons of Judah]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּנֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_will_sell DOM sons_of,your(pl) and=DOM daughters_of,your(pl) in,the_hand_of sons_of Yehuda and,they,will_sell_them to_[the],Sabeans to/towards nation far_away that/for/because/then/when YHWH spoken )

Here the word sons does not mean literal first-generation offspring but “descendants.” The phrase the sons of Judah refers to the Judeans. Alternate translation: [the Judeans]

Note 5 topic: translate-names

לִ⁠שְׁבָאיִ֖ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_will_sell DOM sons_of,your(pl) and=DOM daughters_of,your(pl) in,the_hand_of sons_of Yehuda and,they,will_sell_them to_[the],Sabeans to/towards nation far_away that/for/because/then/when YHWH spoken )

The word Sabeans is the name of a people group.

Note 6 topic: writing-quotations

אֶל־גּ֣וֹי רָח֑וֹק כִּ֥י יְהוָ֖ה דִּבֵּֽר

to/towards nation far_away (Some words not found in UHB: and,I_will_sell DOM sons_of,your(pl) and=DOM daughters_of,your(pl) in,the_hand_of sons_of Yehuda and,they,will_sell_them to_[the],Sabeans to/towards nation far_away that/for/because/then/when YHWH spoken )

The phrase For Yahweh has spoken indicates that this is a direct quotation from Yahweh. You may wish to indicate that in your translation, using a natural way of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [to a faraway nation,” says Yahweh]
