ISA 30:1 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 / exclamations

ה֣וֹי

woe

Yahweh is using the phrase Woe to to express a strong feeling of judgment against the people of Israel. There may be an equivalent word or phrase in your language that you can use in your translation to convey this feeling. Alternate translation: [Great disaster will come upon]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בָּנִ֤ים סֽוֹרְרִים֙

sons rebellious

Yahweh is speaking of the people of Israel as if they were his rebellious children. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [rebellious people who refuse to do what I command]

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

נְאֻם יְהוָ֔ה

declares_of YHWH

The phrase the declaration of Yahweh is the prophet’s attestation formula, indicating that what is being said is a direct quotation from Yahweh. In your translation, use a natural way of indicating direct quotations in your language. It may not be necessary to represent this phrase explicitly.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לַ⁠עֲשׂ֤וֹת עֵצָה֙

for=doing plan

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of counsel, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [asking questions]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

לַ⁠עֲשׂ֤וֹת עֵצָה֙ וְ⁠לֹ֣א מִ⁠נִּ֔י וְ⁠לִ⁠נְסֹ֥ךְ מַסֵּכָ֖ה וְ⁠לֹ֣א רוּחִ֑⁠י

for=doing plan and=not from,me and,by,pouring_out alliance and=not my=breath/wind/spirit

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [making counsel and making an alliance, but not by my Spirit]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠לִ⁠נְסֹ֥ךְ מַסֵּכָ֖ה וְ⁠לֹ֣א רוּחִ֑⁠י

and,by,pouring_out alliance and=not my=breath/wind/spirit

Yahweh is speaking of making a political alliance as if it were pouring out a libation, a ritual act of worship. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and making an alliance, but not guided by my Spirit]

Note 7 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

לְמַ֛עַן סְפ֥וֹת

so_as_to add

The phrase translated as so as to indicates that what follows is a result of what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a result of what came before. Alternate translation: [with the result that they add]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

סְפ֥וֹת חַטָּ֖את עַל חַטָּֽאת

add sin on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in sin
