OET-LV He was_coming to Leḩī and_the_Pəlishtiy[fn][fn][fn] they_shouted to_meet_him and_it_rushed on/upon/above_him/it the_spirit_of YHWH and_ the_ropes which were_on arms_of_his _they_became like_flax(es) which people_have_burnt with_fire and_ fetters_of_his _they_dropped_off from_under hands_of_his.


15:14 OSHB note: Marks a place where we agree with BHQ against BHS in reading L.

15:14 OSHB note: Marks an anomalous form.

15:14 OSHB note: We read one or more vowels in L differently from BHS.

OET (OET-RV) When they’d taken him as far as Lehi, the Pelishtim shouted triumphantly when they saw him. Then Yahweh’s spirit rose in Shimshon and the ropes around his arms just seemed as weak as burnt flax stalks when he simply snapped them off him.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠תִּצְלַ֨ח עָלָ֜י⁠ו ר֣וּחַ יְהוָ֗ה

(Some words not found in UHB: he/it came until Leḩī and_[the],Philistines shouting to,meet,him and,it_rushed on/upon/above=him/it spirit_of YHWH and,they_became the,ropes which/who on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in arms_of,his like,flax(es) which/who caught with,fire and,they_dropped_off fetters_of,his from=under hands_of,his )

See how you translated the same expression in 14:6.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וַ⁠תִּהְיֶ֨ינָה הָ⁠עֲבֹתִ֜ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר עַל־זְרוֹעוֹתָ֗י⁠ו כַּ⁠פִּשְׁתִּים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּעֲר֣וּ בָ⁠אֵ֔שׁ

(Some words not found in UHB: he/it came until Leḩī and_[the],Philistines shouting to,meet,him and,it_rushed on/upon/above=him/it spirit_of YHWH and,they_became the,ropes which/who on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in arms_of,his like,flax(es) which/who caught with,fire and,they_dropped_off fetters_of,his from=under hands_of,his )

The point of this comparison is that just as flax breaks easily when people burn it with fire, so the ropes on Samson’s arms broke easily. That was because the Spirit of Yahweh made him very strong. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [and he became so strong that he was able to break the ropes that were on his arms as easily as flax breaks when people burn it]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

אֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּעֲר֣וּ בָ⁠אֵ֔שׁ

(Some words not found in UHB: he/it came until Leḩī and_[the],Philistines shouting to,meet,him and,it_rushed on/upon/above=him/it spirit_of YHWH and,they_became the,ropes which/who on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in arms_of,his like,flax(es) which/who caught with,fire and,they_dropped_off fetters_of,his from=under hands_of,his )

It might seem that the expression burn with fire contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [that they burn]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

אֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּעֲר֣וּ

(Some words not found in UHB: he/it came until Leḩī and_[the],Philistines shouting to,meet,him and,it_rushed on/upon/above=him/it spirit_of YHWH and,they_became the,ropes which/who on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in arms_of,his like,flax(es) which/who caught with,fire and,they_dropped_off fetters_of,his from=under hands_of,his )

Here the author is using they to refer to people in general. Use an expression for this that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: [that people burn]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יִּמַּ֥סּוּ אֱסוּרָ֖י⁠ו מֵ⁠עַ֥ל יָדָֽי⁠ו

(Some words not found in UHB: he/it came until Leḩī and_[the],Philistines shouting to,meet,him and,it_rushed on/upon/above=him/it spirit_of YHWH and,they_became the,ropes which/who on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in arms_of,his like,flax(es) which/who caught with,fire and,they_dropped_off fetters_of,his from=under hands_of,his )

The author is speaking as if these bonds literally melted. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and he was able to break the rope that bound his hands so easily that it seemed to melt away]

15:14 OSHB note: Marks a place where we agree with BHQ against BHS in reading L.

15:14 OSHB note: Marks an anomalous form.

15:14 OSHB note: We read one or more vowels in L differently from BHS.

OET (OET-RV) When they’d taken him as far as Lehi, the Pelishtim shouted triumphantly when they saw him. Then Yahweh’s spirit rose in Shimshon and the ropes around his arms just seemed as weak as burnt flax stalks when he simply snapped them off him.

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
