ISA 46:2 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 / doublet

קָרְס֤וּ כָֽרְעוּ֙ יַחְדָּ֔ו

stoop bow_down together

The terms stooped and bowed down mean similar things. Isaiah is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [They completely bowed down together]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

קָרְס֤וּ

stoop

The pronoun They refers to the idols of Bel and Nebo. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [The idols of Bel and Nebo stooped]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לֹ֥א יָכְל֖וּ מַלֵּ֣ט מַשָּׂ֑א

not are_~_able rescue burden

The implication is that these gods could not even save their own images, which are the burden being carried away. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [they were not able to rescue even their own images]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בַּ⁠שְּׁבִ֥י

in,captivity

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of captivity, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [away as captives]
