GEN 43:3 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: writing-quotations

וַ⁠יֹּ֧אמֶר אֵלָ֛י⁠ו יְהוּדָ֖ה לֵ⁠אמֹ֑ר

and=he/it_said to=him/it Yehuda to=say

Alternate translation: “His son Judah replied,”

הָ⁠אִ֤ישׁ

the=man

The brothers did not realize yet that Joseph was the governor they had spoken to in Egypt, so Judah referred to him generally here as “the man.” See how you translated a similar phrase in Gen 42:30. Alternate translation: “The man who governs the country there”

הָעֵ֣ד הֵעִד֩ בָּ֨⁠נוּ & לֵ⁠אמֹר֙

to_warn he_warned in/on/at/with,us & to=say

Alternate translation: “sternly told us” or “was serious when he warned us”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

לֹֽא תִרְא֣וּ פָנַ֔⁠י

not see face,my

Consider whether it is better in your language to translate this embedded quote as a direct or indirect quote. Alternate translation: “that we cannot see him again” or “that we cannot come to him again to buy grain”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions

בִּלְתִּ֖י אֲחִי⁠כֶ֥ם אִתְּ⁠כֶֽם

unless brother,your_all's with,you_all

Make sure that the way you translate this clause fits with how you translated the previous part of this sentence. For some languages it is necessary to put this clause before the previous clause and say, “… that our youngest brother must be with us or else we will not be permitted to see him again!” Alternate translation: “unless our youngest brother is with us!”
