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 as a tool 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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

לָ֥⁠מָּה תַעֲשׂ֖וּ⁠ן כַּ⁠דְּבָרִ֣ים הָ⁠אֵ֑לֶּה אֲשֶׁ֨ר אָנֹכִ֤י שֹׁמֵ֨עַ֙ אֶת־דִּבְרֵי⁠כֶ֣ם רָעִ֔ים מֵ⁠אֵ֖ת כָּל־הָ⁠עָ֥ם אֵֽלֶּה

to/for=what do, such_the,things the=these which/who I hear DOM dealings_of,your_all's evil from, all/each/any/every the,people these

Eli is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [You should not do things like these, that I am hearing evil things of you from all these people!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כָּל־הָ⁠עָ֥ם אֵֽלֶּה

all/each/any/every the,people these

Eli assumes that his sons will know he means the Israelites who have been bringing sacrifices. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [all thee people who are bringing sacrifices]
