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 / metonymy

אַל־תַּשְׁמַ֥ע קוֹלְ⁠ךָ֖ עִמָּ֑⁠נוּ

not heard voice_of,your among,us

The Danites are using the term voice by association to mean speaking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [You should not say anything more to us]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֲנָשִׁים֙ מָ֣רֵי נֶ֔פֶשׁ

men ones_hot_of creature

The Danites are speaking as if these men actually had souls that were bitter. They mean that these men were easily provoked to violence. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [violent men]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠אָסַפְתָּ֥ה נַפְשְׁ⁠ךָ֖ וְ⁠נֶ֥פֶשׁ בֵּיתֶֽ⁠ךָ

and,lose life_of,your and,lives_of household_of,your

The Danites are using a common expression of their culture to mean that Micah and the people of his household would lose their lives. (While the first instance of soul in this verse refers to the character of the Danite men, in these further instances soul means “life.”) If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and you lose your life and the life of your house]

Note 4 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

וְ⁠נֶ֥פֶשׁ בֵּיתֶֽ⁠ךָ

and,lives_of household_of,your

The Danites are using the singular term soul to mean the lives of all the members of Micah’s household. If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a plural form. Alternate translation: [and the lives of your household members who are here]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠נֶ֥פֶשׁ בֵּיתֶֽ⁠ךָ

and,lives_of household_of,your

The Danites are using the term house by association to mean household. The context suggests that many of Micah’s household members, both family and servants, were among the men he gathered to pursue the Danites. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and the life of your household]
