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

3:30

Notice the parallel parts that are similar in meaning:

^30aDo not accuse a man without cause,

^30b when he has done you no harm.

3:30a–b

(combined/reordered)

Do not accuse a person of doing evil/bad to you^(sing) if it is not true.
Do not make accusations against a person if he has done nothing wrong/bad to you.

Do not accuse a man: The Hebrew verb used here implies accusing a person of doing wrong or starting an argument with him, either in court or in general. If possible, you should use an expression in your language that can cover either situation. If your language does not have a general term, use a term that refers to a legal accusation in court, since that fits the context better.

without cause, when he has done you no harm: The clause when he has done you no harm explains the meaning of without cause. In some languages, it may be more natural to combine and/or reorder these parallel expressions. See 3:30a–b (combined/reordered) in the Display.

3:30a

Do not accuse a man without cause,

Do not bring/make^(sing) accusations against a person if there is no cause/reason for it.

3:30b

when he has done you no harm.

Do not accuse him when he has not done anything bad/harmful to you^(sing).

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

אָדָ֣ם & לֹ֖א גְמָלְ⁠ךָ֣

humankind & not he,has_dealt_out_to_you

Here, man and he represent a person in general, not one particular man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use expressions that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: “a person … that person has not done you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

רָעָֽה

harm

See how you translated the abstract noun evil in [1:16](../01/16.md).

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.
