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:

וְ⁠עַתָּה֙

and=now

Alternate translation: “So again I tell you,”

אַל תִּירָ֔אוּ

not afraid

Consider again how you translated do not be afraid in the book of Genesis. See Gen 15:1; 21:17; 26:24; 35:17; 43:23; 46:3; 50:19, 21. Alternate translation: “you have nothing to fear.”

אָנֹכִ֛י אֲכַלְכֵּ֥ל אֶתְ⁠כֶ֖ם וְ⁠אֶֽת טַפְּ⁠כֶ֑ם

I provide DOM,you_all and, little_ones,your_all's

In the Hebrew text here, I is an emphatic pronoun. Consider what is the best way to translate that in your language. Also, consider again how you translated little ones in the book of Genesis. See Gen 34:29; 43:8; 45:19; 46:5; 47:12, 24; 50:8, 21. It may be necessary to translate this term in different ways, depending on the context. Alternate translation: “I myself will take care of you and your children.”

וַ⁠יְנַחֵ֣ם אוֹתָ֔⁠ם

and,comforted DOM,them

Consider again how you translated comforted in the book of Genesis. See Gen 24:67; 27:42; 37:35; 38:12; 50:21. It may be necessary to translate this term in different ways, depending on the context. Alternate translation: “In that way, Joseph consoled them that he had forgiven them,”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠יְדַבֵּ֖ר עַל לִבָּֽ⁠ם

and=he/it_spoke on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in heart_of,them

The phrase spoke to their hearts is an idiom that means Joseph said things to comfort and encourage his brothers. Consider whether or not your language has an idiom with the same meaning that would work well here. Alternate translation: “and he also said other things to comfort them.”
