ISA 11:12 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠נָשָׂ֥א נֵס֙ לַ⁠גּוֹיִ֔ם

and,he_will_lift_up signal for,nations

Here Isaiah is speaking as if the Lord’s act of gathering his people were raising a banner to signal the nations. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And he will give a signal to the nations]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

נִדְחֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל

outthrows_of Yisrael

The expression the outcast ones is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [those of Israel whom enemies drove out]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וּ⁠נְפֻצ֤וֹת יְהוּדָה֙

and,the_scattered_[women]_of Yehuda

The expression the scattered ones is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [and the ones of Judah whom enemies had scattered]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מֵ⁠אַרְבַּ֖ע כַּנְפ֥וֹת הָ⁠אָֽרֶץ

from,the_four corners_of the=earth/land

Isaiah is using the four edges of the earth as a common expression of the culture to mean every part of the world. If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [from every part of the earth]
