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. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. 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 / quotesinquotes

ὅτι οὐκ ἐνκαταλείψεις τὴν ψυχήν μου εἰς ᾍδην, οὐδὲ δώσεις τὸν Ὅσιόν σου ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν

because not (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅτι οὐκ ἐγκαταλείψεις τὴν ψυχήν μου εἰς ᾍδην οὐδὲ δώσεις τὸν Ὅσιόν σου ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν)

You may have decided to turn Peter’s quotation from David into an indirect quotation in order to avoid having a second-level quotation. If so, it may be necessary to add some introductory material here. Alternate translation: [The Messiah knew that God would not abandon his soul to Hades and that God would not allow his Holy One to see decay]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

οὐκ ἐνκαταλείψεις τὴν ψυχήν μου εἰς ᾍδην, οὐδὲ δώσεις τὸν Ὅσιόν σου ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν

not (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅτι οὐκ ἐγκαταλείψεις τὴν ψυχήν μου εἰς ᾍδην οὐδὲ δώσεις τὸν Ὅσιόν σου ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν)

These two statements mean similar things. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and it may be helpful to show that to your readers by including both phrases in your translation rather than combining them. However, if the repetition might be confusing, you could connect the phrases with a word other than nor in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [you will not abandon my soul to Hades, no, you will not allow your Holy One to see decay]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / youformal

οὐκ ἐνκαταλείψεις & οὐδὲ δώσεις & σου

The words you and your are singular, and they refer to God. See what you decided to do in your translation in 1:24 in a similar case where God is addressed as “you.” You may have decided in such cases to use a formal form of “you” that your language may have, or you may have decided to use an informal form of “you.”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

οὐκ ἐνκαταλείψεις τὴν ψυχήν μου εἰς ᾍδην

The Messiah says my soul to mean himself, using one part of his being to represent his whole being. Alternate translation: [you will not abandon me to Hades]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν Ὅσιόν σου

the Devout_‹One› ˱of˲_you

The expression Holy One is a title for the Messiah. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: [your Messiah] or [your holy Messiah]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

τὸν Ὅσιόν σου

the Devout_‹One› ˱of˲_you

The Messiah is referring to himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person in your translation. Alternate translation: [me, your Holy One] or [me, the Messiah]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν

/to/_see decay

Here the word see is being used to mean “experience.” Alternate translation: [to experience decay]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν

/to/_see decay

The term decay refers in this context to the decomposition of the body after death. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [to experience the decomposition of his body]
