HAB 2:7 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 Bible-translators and others 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 early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Here the author is introducing your biters as new participants. The phrase refers to the people whom the oppressor has exploited, who will now turn against him. Your language may have its own way of introducing new participants that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [Will not those whom you oppressed suddenly rise up]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲ⁠ל֣וֹא פֶ֗תַע יָק֨וּמוּ֙ נֹשְׁכֶ֔י⁠ךָ וְ⁠יִקְצ֖וּ מְזַעְזְעֶ֑י⁠ךָ

The author is using the question form to emphasize that those who oppose the oppressor will certainly rebel. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [Your biters will suddenly rise up, and the ones shaking you will awaken!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

נֹשְׁכֶ֔י⁠ךָ

The Hebrew word translated biters could mean: (1) your creditors, that is, the plundered peoples who will demand repayment as if they were animals that bite. Alternate translation: [your creditors] (2) those who you have oppressed by forcing them to pay you unjustly. Alternate translation: [those you forced to be in debt to you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מְזַעְזְעֶ֑י⁠ךָ

[those_of,who_will]_make_you_tremble

Here the author is speaking of those who will demand payment as if they were people who were shaking someone. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the ones who will make you tremble]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠הָיִ֥יתָ לִ⁠מְשִׁסּ֖וֹת לָֽ⁠מוֹ

Here the author is speaking of the oppressor as if he were plunder that could be taken as spoils of war. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Then they will take everything from you]
