ECC 4:11 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 / explicit

(Occurrence 0) If two lie down together, they can be warm

(Some words not found in UHB: also/yet if lie_down two and,keep_warm to/for=them and,to/for,one how keep_warm )

The writer speaks of two people keeping each other warm on a cold night. Alternate translation: “If two people lie down together at night, they can be warm”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) how can one be warm alone?

(Some words not found in UHB: also/yet if lie_down two and,keep_warm to/for=them and,to/for,one how keep_warm )

This refers to a person lying down. The author use this rhetorical question to emphasize that two people can keep each other warm but one person cannot. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “a person cannot be warm when he is alone.” or “a person who lies down alone cannot be warm.” (See also: figs-ellipsis)
