2COR 8:15 Parallel Verse View

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.

OET (OET-RV) As the scriptures say:
⇔ ‘The person who gathered much didn’t have too much,
⇔ and the person who gathered little didn’t have any lack.’

Key: khaki:verbs, light-green:nominative/subject, orange:accusative/object, red:negative.
Note: Automatic aligning of the OET-RV to the LV is done by some temporary software, hence the OET-RV alignments are incomplete (and may occasionally be wrong).

ULT just as it is written:
⇔  “The one gathering much did not have too much,
⇔  and the one gathering little did not have too little.”

UST We want it to be like what someone wrote when God powerfully gave food to the Israelites:
⇔ “The people who had much did not have more than they needed.
⇔ The people who had little did not have less than they needed.”

BSB As it is written:
⇔ “He who gathered much had no excess,
⇔ and he who gathered little had no shortfall.”[fn]

BLB As it has been written: "He the much did not abound, and he the little had no lack."

AICNT as it is written, “He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little.”[fn]

⇔ “Those who had much had nothing over, and those who had little did not lack!”

WEBBE As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.”

8:15 This refers to the gathering of manna in Exodus 16:8.

TCNT As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.”

T4T If that happens, the result will be like it is written {like someone/Moses wrote} in the Scriptures about the time when God provided manna for his people,
¶ If someone gathered a lot of manna, he still did not have more than he needed, because he gave some to someone who did not have enough. And those who gathered only a little manna still had all that they needed [LIT], because others who gathered more than they needed gave some manna to them.

LEB just as it is written, “The one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.”[fn]

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

καθὼς γέγραπται

as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written

Here Paul quotes from the Old Testament Scriptures, specifically from Exodus 16:18. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could format these words in a different way, or you could include this information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “just as it is written in the Scriptures” or “just as you can read in Exodus”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

γέγραπται

˱it˲_/has_been/_written

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. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was the person who wrote the book of Exodus. Alternate translation: “someone wrote in Exodus” or “it says in Exodus”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ τὸ πολὺ, οὐκ ἐπλεόνασεν; καὶ ὁ τὸ ὀλίγον, οὐκ ἠλαττόνησεν

the_‹one› ˱with˲_the much not abounded and the_‹one› ˱with˲_the little no had_less

Here Paul is quoting from a story about how God led the Israelites through the desert. They did not have much food, so God miraculously made something like bread appear on the ground for them. The Israelites called the food “manna,” and God commanded each of them to gather a specific amount for each person. This amount was just right, which is what this quotation describes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could include some of this information in your translation or in a footnote. Alternate translation: “Any Israelite who gathered much manna did not have too much, and any Israelite who gathered little manna did not have too little”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

(Occurrence -1) ὁ τὸ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καθὼς γέγραπται ὁ τὸ πολὺ οὐκ ἐπλεόνασεν καὶ ὁ τὸ ὀλίγον οὐκ ἠλαττόνησεν)

The phrase the one represents people in general, not one particular person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: “Those … those” or “Everyone … everyone”
