DEU 5:3 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

לֹ֣א אֶת־אֲבֹתֵ֔י⁠נוּ כָּרַ֥ת יְהוָ֖ה אֶת־הַ⁠בְּרִ֣ית הַ⁠זֹּ֑את

not DOM fathers,our made YHWH DOM the,covenant the,this

Moses means that the covenant was not only for the ancestors of the Israelites, but for the current generation also. Be sure that this distinction is clear in your translation. Alternate translation: “Yahweh cut this covenant not only with our fathers”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֲבֹתֵ֔י⁠נוּ

fathers,our

Here fathers could mean: (1) the parents of the living Israelites, who made a covenant with Yahweh at Mount Sinai. Alternate translation: “with our parents” (2) the ancestors of the Israelites such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who made a covenant with Yahweh. Alternate translation: “with our predecessors”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

כִּ֣י

that/for/because/then/when

The word translated as but marks a strong contrast with the previous clause. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a strong contrast. Alternate translation: “but, in fact,”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

אֲנַ֨חְנוּ אֵ֥לֶּה פֹ֛ה הַ⁠יּ֖וֹם כֻּלָּ֥⁠נוּ חַיִּֽים

we these here the=day all,us life(pl)

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “those of us here today, indeed, all who are living”
