ISA 3:11 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

א֖וֹי לְ⁠רָשָׁ֣ע

woe to_[the],wicked

Isaiah is using the phrase Woe to the wicked to express a strong feeling of grief and warning about the judgment coming upon them. There may be an equivalent word or phrase in your language that you can use in your translation to convey this feeling. If not, you could say what made Isaiah grieve. Alternate translation: [Disaster is coming upon the wicked]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

לְ⁠רָשָׁ֣ע

to_[the],wicked

Isaiah is using the adjective wicked as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [those who are wicked]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

גְמ֥וּל יָדָ֖י⁠ו

what_~_have_done_of his_hands_of,his

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of recompense, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [what he has done to others]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יָדָ֖י⁠ו

his_hands_of,his

Here, his hands represents “his actions” or “what he has done.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [his deeds]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יֵעָ֥שֶׂה לּֽ⁠וֹ

done for=him/it

The expression will be done to him 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. Alternate translation: [will come upon him]
