YAC 1:9 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. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished 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 / explicit

καυχάσθω δὲ ὁ ἀδελφὸς ὁ ταπεινὸς

˓let_be˒_boasting and the brother ¬the humble

James assumes that his readers will understand that he is using the word boast in a positive sense. He does not mean it in the sinful sense of bragging or vaunting oneself over others. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Now let the lowly brother take satisfaction]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ ἀδελφὸς ὁ ταπεινὸς

the brother ¬the humble

Since James contrasts this person with “the rich” in the next verse, he is using the word lowly as a spatial metaphor to mean “poor.” Alternate translation: [a believer who is poor]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀδελφὸς

brother

James is using the term brother to refer to a fellow believer in Jesus. See how you translated brothers in [1:2](../01/02.md). Alternate translation: [believer]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῷ ὕψει αὐτοῦ

the height ˱of˲_him

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun exaltation with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [the high place he occupies]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῷ ὕψει αὐτοῦ

the height ˱of˲_him

James is using a spatial metaphor to describe poor believers as if they were in a high place. He wants to convey that God has shown special concern for them. Alternate translation: [the special concern that God has shown for him]
