Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰδοὺ

behold

Paul is using the term behold to focus his listeners’ attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

δεδεμένος & τῷ Πνεύματι

/having_been/_bound & ˱by˲_the Spirit

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [with the Spirit binding me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

δεδεμένος & τῷ Πνεύματι

/having_been/_bound & ˱by˲_the Spirit

Paul is speaking as if the Spirit had bound him. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [with the Spirit constraining me] or [with the Spirit leading me in a way that I cannot refuse]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions

τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ συναντήσοντά μοι, μὴ εἰδώς

the_‹things› in it /going_to_be/_meeting (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ δεδεμένος ἐγὼ τῷ Πνεύματι πορεύομαι εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ συναντήσοντά ἐμοὶ μὴ εἰδώς)

Since Paul says in the next verse that he does know one thing that will happen to him in Jerusalem, it might appear in your language he is contradicting himself. If so, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. You could begin a new sentence here that continues into the next verse, leaving out the word “except” at the start of the next verse. Alternate translation: [The one thing I do know that will happen to me in her is]

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐν αὐτῇ

in it

The pronoun her refers to the city of Jerusalem. Conventionally, Greek referred to cities with feminine pronouns. Your language may use a different gender. You could also use a noun. Alternate translation: [in it] or [in that city]
