See how you translated these women's names in [Genesis 4:19](./18.md).

# listen to my voice ... listen to what I say
|
|
|
|
Lamech said the same thing twice for emphasis. His voice is a synecdoche for his whole person. AT: "listen carefully to me" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])

|
# a man for wounding me, a young man for bruising me
|
|
|
|
Lamech killed only one person. These two phrases means the same thing and are repeated to emphasize the certainly of his action. AT: "a young man because he hurt me" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])

# If Cain is avenged seven times, then Lamech
|
|
|
|
Lamech knows that God will avenge Cain seven times. AT: "Since God will punish anyone who kills Cain seven times, Lamech" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
|
|
|
|
# then Lamech will be avenged seventy-seven times
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. AT: "whoever kills me, God will punish seventy-seven times" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
