ISA 41:13 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

כִּ֗י

that/for/because/then/when

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: [Because]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

אֱלֹהֶ֖י⁠ךָ

God_of,your

Yahweh is using the possessive form to describe his relationship with Israel as your God, the one they worship. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [am the God you worship]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מַחֲזִ֣יק יְמִינֶ֑⁠ךָ

hold hand_of,your_right

Here, the act of holding your right hand represents giving help and support. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [helping and supporting you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

אַל תִּירָ֖א

not fear

Yahwey is saying what he wants Israel to do. See the discussion in the introduction to this book about “let” and “may” and follow the decision of your team of how a speaker will express in this context what he wants someone to do. Alternate translation: [You should not fear]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

הָ⁠אֹמֵ֥ר לְ⁠ךָ֛ אַל תִּירָ֖א אֲנִ֥י עֲזַרְתִּֽי⁠ךָ

the_[one,who]_says to/for=yourself(m) not fear I I,will_help_you

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [the one telling you not to fear, for I myself will help you]

אֲנִ֥י & עֲזַרְתִּֽי⁠ךָ

I & (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when I YHWH God_of,your hold hand_of,your_right the_[one,who]_says to/for=yourself(m) not fear I I,will_help_you )

Yahweh is stating the pronoun I separately, even though the verb translated as I will help already includes this meaning. He is doing that to emphasize that he himself is making a commitment to help his people. If a speaker of your language would use an explicit pronoun for the same purpose, you may want to use that construction in your translation. If not, your language may have other ways of showing the meaning here. Alternate translation: [I myself will help you]
