ISA 19:2 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: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠נִלְחֲמ֥וּ

and,they_will_fight

The pronoun they refers to the Egyptians. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the Egyptian people]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

אִישׁ־בְּ⁠אָחִ֖י⁠ו וְ⁠אִ֣ישׁ בְּ⁠רֵעֵ֑⁠הוּ

(a)_man against,brother_of,his and,each against,neighbor_of,his

Isaiah is using the specific examples of a man against his brother and a man against his neighbor to represent all forms of civil strife among the Egyptians. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [every person against every other person]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

אִישׁ־בְּ⁠אָחִ֖י⁠ו וְ⁠אִ֣ישׁ בְּ⁠רֵעֵ֑⁠הוּ

(a)_man against,brother_of,his and,each against,neighbor_of,his

See how your translation team has decided to represent pairs of clauses in Hebrew poetry that mean basically the same thing. Alternate translation: [each man against his brother and neighbor]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

עִ֣יר בְּ⁠עִ֔יר מַמְלָכָ֖ה בְּ⁠מַמְלָכָֽה

(a)_city against,city kingdom against,kingdom

Yahweh is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [each city will fight against another city, and each kingdom will fight against another kingdom]
