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-newevent

וְ⁠הָיָ֣ה בְּ⁠אַחֲרִ֣ית הַ⁠יָּמִ֗ים

and=it_was in=end/latter the=days

Isaiah is using the phrase And it will be to continue his introduction of a new event. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event. Alternate translation: [It will happen in the last days]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בְּ⁠אַחֲרִ֣ית הַ⁠יָּמִ֗ים

in=end/latter the=days

Isaiah is using in the end of days as a common expression of the culture to mean “in the future” or “in a future time.” 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: [in a future time]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בֵּית־יְהוָה֙

house_of YHWH

Isaiah is speaking of the temple of Yahweh as if it were a house in which he lived. Alternate translation: [the temple of Yahweh]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

נָכ֨וֹן יִֽהְיֶ֜ה

established will_belong

The expression will be established 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 God. Alternate translation: [will stand]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠רֹ֣אשׁ הֶ⁠הָרִ֔ים

(in)_the,chief_of of,the_mountains

Here, head represents the top or highest point of the mountains. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [at the top of the mountains]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠נִשָּׂ֖א

and,lifted_up

The expression it will be lifted up 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 God. Alternate translation: [God will lift it up]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠נָהֲר֥וּ אֵלָ֖י⁠ו כָּל־הַ⁠גּוֹיִֽם

and,they_will_stream to=him/it all/each/any/every the=nations

Isaiah is speaking as if the nations coming to the mountain were water that would flow to it. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and all of the nations will gather to it]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

כָּל־הַ⁠גּוֹיִֽם

all/each/any/every the=nations

Isaiah says all of the nations as an extreme statement for emphasis. He means that very many nations will come, not necessarily every nation in the world. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [very many nations]
