ISA 51:21 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

לָ⁠כֵ֛ן שִׁמְעִי נָ֥א זֹ֖את עֲנִיָּ֑ה וּ⁠שְׁכֻרַ֖ת וְ⁠לֹ֥א מִ⁠יָּֽיִן

for=so/thus/hence hear now this(f) afflicted and,O_drunken_[one]_of and=not from,wine

The term translated as Therefore indicates that what follows is a result of what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [Because of that, hear this, please, poor and drunken, but not from wine]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-contrary

וּ⁠שְׁכֻרַ֖ת וְ⁠לֹ֥א מִ⁠יָּֽיִן

(Some words not found in UHB: for=so/thus/hence hear now this(f) afflicted and,O_drunken_[one]_of and=not from,wine )

Isaiah is making a conditional statement that sounds hypothetical, but he knows that the condition is not true. He is stating it as a condition to show that the people’s drunkenness is also not true. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a condition that the speaker believes is not true. Alternate translation: [and staggering, but it is not because you drank wine]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

עֲנִיָּ֑ה וּ⁠שְׁכֻרַ֖ת

afflicted and,O_drunken_[one]_of

Isaiah is using the adjectives poor and drunken as nouns to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate these adjectives with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: [poor person and drunken one]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠שְׁכֻרַ֖ת וְ⁠לֹ֥א מִ⁠יָּֽיִן

and,O_drunken_[one]_of and=not from,wine

Here Isaiah is speaking of the people being dazed and staggering from their suffering as if they were drunken, though not from wine. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and dazed, but not from wine]
