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.

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 because]

כִּ֤י הֶֽ⁠הָרִים֙ יָמ֔וּשׁוּ וְ⁠הַ⁠גְּבָע֖וֹת תְּמוּטֶ֑נָה וְ⁠חַסְדִּ֞⁠י מֵ⁠אִתֵּ֣⁠ךְ לֹֽא יָמ֗וּשׁ וּ⁠בְרִ֤ית שְׁלוֹמִ⁠י֙ לֹ֣א תָמ֔וּט אָמַ֥ר מְרַחֲמֵ֖⁠ךְ יְהוָֽה

Yahweh uses the word but here to indicate a contrast between what may happen to the mountains and hills and what will happen to his covenant faithfulness. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Even though the mountains may depart, and the hills may shake, my covenant faithfulness will not depart from you, and the covenant of my peace will not shake,” says Yahweh, the one having compassion on you] or [For the mountains may depart, and the hills may shake. Nevertheless, my covenant faithfulness will not depart from you, and the covenant of my peace will not shake,” says Yahweh, the one having compassion on you]

הֶֽ⁠הָרִים֙ יָמ֔וּשׁוּ וְ⁠הַ⁠גְּבָע֖וֹת תְּמוּטֶ֑נָה

the,mountains depart and,the,hills removed

Yahweh is speaking of the mountains and the hills as if they were living things that could depart and shake on their own. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the mountains may be destroyed, and the hills may crumble]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠חַסְדִּ֞⁠י

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of covenant faithfulness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [but my being faithful to my covenant]

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [and the covenant in which I promise that you will be safe and well]
