DEU 7:2 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—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). 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

וּ⁠נְתָנָ֞⁠ם יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהֶ֛י⁠ךָ

and,he,will_deliver_them_up YHWH God_of,your

Here, give them means “enable victory over them.” Moses speaks of victory in battle as if it were a physical object one person could give to another. Alternate translation: [and Yahweh your God will give victory over them]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לְ⁠פָנֶ֖י⁠ךָ

to=your=face

Here, face represents all of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to you]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

הַחֲרֵ֤ם תַּחֲרִים֙

to_destroy you_must_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: [utterly destroying]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לֹא־תִכְרֹ֥ת לָ⁠הֶ֛ם בְּרִ֖ית

not make to/for=them treaty

To cut a covenant means to make a covenant. The phrase refers to ancient rituals around making covenants, which are illustrated in [Genesis 15](Gen/15/01.md). See the imagery and how you translated there. Alternate translation: [Do not make a covenant with them]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּרִ֖ית

treaty

The implication is that the Israelites should not make a peace treaty with the nations named in the previous verse. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [a peace treaty]
