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 as a tool 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 / reduplication

אַבֵּ֣ד תְּ֠אַבְּדוּ⁠ן

to_destroy you_all_destroy,

Moses is repeating forms of the verb destroy in order to intensify the idea that it expresses. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: [You shall surely destroy]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

אֲשֶׁ֧ר עָֽבְדוּ־שָׁ֣ם הַ⁠גּוֹיִ֗ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר אַתֶּ֛ם יֹרְשִׁ֥ים אֹתָ֖⁠ם אֶת־אֱלֹהֵי⁠הֶ֑ם

which/who served there the=nations which/who you_all dispossess DOM=them DOM gods_of,their

If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the phrasing so that it is clear what the places were used for. Alternate translation: [where the enemies who you will dispossess served their gods]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הַ⁠גּוֹיִ֗ם

the=nations

Here, nations represents the people groups that live in the land that the Israelites will conquer. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [your enemies]
