ISA 19:25 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 / activepassive

בָּר֨וּךְ עַמִּ֜⁠י מִצְרַ֗יִם

blessed people_of,my Miʦrayim/(Egypt)

The expression Blessed 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. If you need to say who does the action, the context indicates that it is Yahweh. Alternate translation: [I bless my people Egypt]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וּ⁠מַעֲשֵׂ֤ה יָדַ⁠י֙ אַשּׁ֔וּר

and,the_work_of my_hands_of,my ʼAshshūr

Yahweh is using one part of a person, his hands, to mean all of him in the act of doing work. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly, as modeled by the UST.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠נַחֲלָתִ֖⁠י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

and,inheritance_of,my Yisrael

Here Yahweh is speaking of Israel as if it were property that he had received as an inheritance. He means that Israel belongs to him as his special possession. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and Israel, my treasured possession]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠נַחֲלָתִ֖⁠י

and,inheritance_of,my

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of an inheritance, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [and my own nation]
