ISA 3:1 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: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּי֩ הִנֵּ֨ה

that/for/because/then/when see/lo/see!

The word translated as For indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: [This is the reason:]

Note 2 topic: writing-poetry

מַשְׁעֵ֖ן וּ⁠מַשְׁעֵנָ֑ה

supply and,support

As the Hebrew prophets did on many occasions, in this chapter Isaiah emphasizes a point by using words together that have very similar sounds. The words translated as “supply” and “support” differ in just one letter. It is often difficult to reproduce this kind of word play in another language, but if your language does have similar terms that you can use in this instance, as the ULT does, it would be appropriate to do that in your translation. If not, you could show the emphasis in another way, such as by saying “all support.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

כֹּ֚ל מִשְׁעַן־לֶ֔חֶם וְ⁠כֹ֖ל מִשְׁעַן־מָֽיִם

all supplies_of food/grain/bread and=all/each/any/every supplies_of water

Isaiah says all supply of bread and all supply of water as an extreme statement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [the entire supply of bread and water]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / litany

כֹּ֚ל מִשְׁעַן־לֶ֔חֶם וְ⁠כֹ֖ל מִשְׁעַן־מָֽיִם

all supplies_of food/grain/bread and=all/each/any/every supplies_of water

Isaiah uses a repetitive series of clauses from here to the end of verse 3 to communicate that what he is saying should be understood as comprehensive and overwhelming. Use a form in your language that someone would use to describe a situation that is comprehensive and overwhelming.
