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: translate-kinship

οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν

the fathers ˱of˲_you_all

Here, the phrase your fathers refers to the Israelites who were alive before Jesus lived on earth. The audience of the original quotation were Israelites who descended from these people. Use a word or phrase that refers to ancestors. Alternate translation: “your forefathers”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν

the fathers ˱of˲_you_all

Although the word fathers is masculine, it refers to any ancestors, both male and female. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word that applies to both men and women or you could refer to both genders. Alternate translation: “your fathers and mothers”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἐπείρασαν & ἐν δοκιμασίᾳ

tested_‹me› & by trial

Here, the words tested and examination refer to basically the same thing. The word tested refers to the act of “testing,” while examination refers to the “test” itself. The author of the quotation uses both words to emphasize how the fathers “examined” God. If the repetition would be confusing, and if using both words is not emphatic in your language, you could express the idea with one word or phrase. Alternate translation: “examined me”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ εἶδον τὰ ἔργα μου

and ˱they˲_saw the works ˱of˲_me

Here, the clause they saw my works could refer to: (1) how the fathers tested God even though they saw the amazing works that God did to rescue them and bring them through the wilderness. Alternate translation: “even though they saw my powerful deeds” (2) how God acted to punish the fathers for how they tested him. Alternate translation: “and they saw how I punished them”
