5:1 Note: KJB: Eccl.5.2

5:1 OSHB note: We read one or more accents in L differently from BHQ.

OET (OET-RV) Don’t speak out too quickly,
 ⇔ and don’t let your emotions rush to make you request something from God,
 ⇔ because God is in the heavens,
 ⇔ but you’re on the earth, so let your words be few.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

אַל תְּבַהֵ֨ל

not rash

The expression Do not be hurried is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Do not hurry yourself]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

פִּ֜י⁠ךָ

mouth_of,your

Here, your mouth represents “what you say.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [what you say]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠לִבְּ⁠ךָ֧ אַל יְמַהֵ֛ר

and,heart_of,your not quick

Here, your heart represents where a person’s thoughts and intentions exist. You may have a comparable expression in your language, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and do not let your thoughts]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנֵ֣י הָ⁠אֱלֹהִ֑ים כִּ֣י

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the=ʼElohīm that/for/because/then/when

Here, to the face of represents being in the presence of God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [in the presence of God. For the]

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

אַל תְּבַהֵ֨ל עַל פִּ֜י⁠ךָ וְ⁠לִבְּ⁠ךָ֧ אַל יְמַהֵ֛ר לְ⁠הוֹצִ֥יא דָבָ֖ר לִ⁠פְנֵ֣י הָ⁠אֱלֹהִ֑ים כִּ֣י הָ⁠אֱלֹהִ֤ים בַּ⁠שָּׁמַ֨יִם֙ וְ⁠אַתָּ֣ה עַל הָ⁠אָ֔רֶץ עַֽל כֵּ֛ן יִהְי֥וּ דְבָרֶ֖י⁠ךָ מְעַטִּֽים

not rash on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in mouth_of,your and,heart_of,your not quick to,bring_forth message to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the=ʼElohīm that/for/because/then/when the=ʼElohīm [is]_in,heavens and=you(ms) on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=earth/land on/upon yes/correct/thus/so be words_of,your few

Solomon uses the word but here to indicate a contrast between God being in heaven and the reader being on the earth. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Do not be hurried concerning your mouth, and do not let your heart hurry to bring forth a word to the face of God. For God is in heaven, while you are on the earth; therefore, let your words be few]

5:1 Note: KJB: Eccl.5.2

5:1 OSHB note: We read one or more accents in L differently from BHQ.

OET (OET-RV) Don’t speak out too quickly,
 ⇔ and don’t let your emotions rush to make you request something from God,
 ⇔ because God is in the heavens,
 ⇔ but you’re on the earth, so let your words be few.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.OET logo mark
