OET (OET-LV) Do_not say to_neighbour_of_your[fn] go and_come_back and_tomorrow I_will_give_it and_(there) it_is_with_you.

3:28 OSHB variant note: ל/רעי/ך: (x-qere) ’לְ/רֵֽעֲ/ךָ֨’: lemma_l/7453 n_1.0.0 morph_HR/Ncmsc/Sp2ms id_20kCD לְ/רֵֽעֲ/ךָ֨

OET (OET-RV) Don’t tell your neighbour, “Go home now, but come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you then,”
 ⇔ when you had it there the whole time.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 3:21–35: Fourth lesson: Be a good neighbor and do not behave like a wicked person

The father started this lesson by exhorting his son to always use sound judgment, because then he would have nothing to fear (3:21–26). He then told his son what to avoid in order to be a good neighbor. He advised him to not follow the behavior of wicked people (3:27–31). The lesson ends with a series of contrasts between the way that the LORD will treat the righteous and the wicked (3:32–35).

Another heading for this section is:

How to be a good neighbor

3:28

As in 3:27, the second line of this verse completes the thought of the first line. It specifies the circumstance in which a person should not delay in helping his neighbor. Also notice that 3:28 is parallel to 3:27. The command in Proverbs 3:28 is similar to the command in 3:27, but it is more specific.

28aDo not tell your neighbor, “Come back tomorrow and I will provide”—

28bwhen you already have the means.

3:28a

Do not tell your neighbor, “Come back tomorrow and I will provide”—

3:28b

when you already have the means.

3:28a–b

Do not tell your neighbor, “Come back tomorrow and I will provide”—when you already have the means: This verse refers to the same situation as 3:27. It refers to a person who owes some good to his neighbor. If this person is able to give his neighbor what he deserves, he should do it when the neighbor requests it. He should not delay by telling him to return the next day.

neighbor: In Hebrew, this word can refer to anyone with whom one interacts. It can include a close friend or someone who is only an acquaintance. It does not refer only to a person who lives nearby.

tomorrow: The word that the BSB translates as tomorrow may also have a more general meaning. It may refer to another day or another opportunity.

The BSB translates this verse with a direct quote. The GNT uses an indirect quote. It has:

Never tell your neighbors to wait until tomorrow if you can help them now.

You should use whatever is more effective in your language for this context.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אַל־תֹּ֘אמַ֤ר לְרֵֽעֲךָ֨

not say (Some words not found in UHB: not say to,neighbor_of,your go and,come_back and,tomorrow give and,(there) [it,is]_with_you )

Solomon implies that the neighbor needs something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “When your neighbor needs something, do not say to your neighbor”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֶתֵּ֗ן וְ⁠יֵ֣שׁ

give and,(there)

In this verse, it refers to the thing that the neighbor needs. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “I will give you what you need, yet that thing is”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

וְ⁠יֵ֣שׁ

and,(there)

Here, and indicates that what follows is true at the same time as the speaker is speaking in the previous clause. This means that the person speaking refuses to give something to someone even though he has it with him. You can make this clear in your translation with an appropriate connecting word or phrase. Alternate translation: “when it is”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

3:27-28 A wise person is a kind and helpful neighbor. Proverbs strongly emphasizes helping the financially needy (11:24; 28:27; 29:7, 14).
