ISA 63:2 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 / ellipsis

אָדֹ֖ם לִ⁠לְבוּשֶׁ֑⁠ךָ וּ⁠בְגָדֶ֖י⁠ךָ

red [belong]_to,clothing_of,your and_[are],garments?_of,your

The speaker is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [is your clothing red and why are your garments red]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כְּ⁠דֹרֵ֥ךְ בְּ⁠גַֽת

like,[one_who]_treads in,a_winepress

The point of this comparison is that just as one treading in a wine press has his clothing stained red by the grape juice, so your clothing is red. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [stained red as if you had been treading grapes in a wine press]
