Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

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 / yousingular

ἑλίξεις & σὺ & εἶ & σου

˱you˲_/will_be/_rolling_up & you & are & ˱of˲_you

Since the words you, yourself, and your refer to one person, the Son, all forms of you in this verse are singular.

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτούς & ἀλλαγήσονται

them & ˱they˲_/will_be_being/_changed

Just as in the previous verse, the words them and they here refer to the “earth” and the “heavens,” which identify everything that God has created. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make what them and they refer to explicit. Alternate translation: [the earth and heavens … they will be changed] or [all created things … they will be changed]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

καὶ ὡσεὶ περιβόλαιον ἑλίξεις αὐτούς, ὡς ἱμάτιον καὶ ἀλλαγήσονται

and as_if /a/_covering ˱you˲_/will_be/_rolling_up them like /a/_garment also ˱they˲_/will_be_being/_changed

Here the quotation includes two statements that mean almost the same thing. One statement uses cloak and “rolling” language, and the other uses garment and “changing” language. This was considered good poetry in the author’s culture. If this would not be good poetry in your culture, and if the repetition would be confusing, you could combine the two statements. Alternate translation: [And as a cloak you will change them] or [And as a garment they will be rolled up and changed]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

ὡσεὶ περιβόλαιον ἑλίξεις αὐτούς, ὡς ἱμάτιον καὶ ἀλλαγήσονται

as_if /a/_covering ˱you˲_/will_be/_rolling_up them like /a/_garment also ˱they˲_/will_be_being/_changed

Here the author continues to compare the heavens and earth to clothing, in this case a cloak or a garment. Both of these words refer to outer clothing. Both similes describe what a person would do with a dirty or old piece of clothing. They would change out of it, and they would roll it up to wash it or throw it away. The author of the quotation uses this simile to show that God will remove and replace what he has created as easily as a person changes out of an outer garment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable simile or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [as a worn shirt you will throw them in a corner, and as an old shirt they will be taken off] or [you will remove them, and they will be exchanged]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὡς ἱμάτιον καὶ ἀλλαγήσονται

like /a/_garment also ˱they˲_/will_be_being/_changed

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The author uses the passive form here to focus on they who are changed rather than on the person doing the changing. If you must state who does the action, the author implies that the Lord does it. Alternate translation: [and as a garment you will change them]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

σὺ & ὁ αὐτὸς εἶ, καὶ τὰ ἔτη σου οὐκ ἐκλείψουσιν

you & the same are and the years ˱of˲_you not /will_be/_failing

Here the quotation includes two statements that mean almost the same thing. One statement refers to how the Lord stays the same, and the other refers to how his years will not fail. This was considered good poetry in the author’s culture. If this would not be good poetry in your culture, and if the repetition would be confusing, you could combine the two statements. Alternate translation: [you stay alive forever] or [you yourself are always the same]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

σὺ & εἶ

you & are

Here, the word translated yourself emphasizes the contrast between “they” and “you.” Consider using a natural way to emphasize this contrast in your language. Alternate translation: [it is you who are]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἔτη σου οὐκ ἐκλείψουσιν

years ˱of˲_you not /will_be/_failing

Here, the phrase your years will not fail means that a person is alive during every “year.” They will never run out of years, which means that they are always alive. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that indicates that a person never dies or always lives. Alternate translation: [your life will never end] or [you will never run out of years]
