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 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.

BrLXX Κᾀγὼ εἶπον, οὐ μὴ ἐξάρω αὐτοὺς ἐκ προσώπου ὑμῶν, καὶ ἔσονται ὑμῖν εἰς συνοχὰς, καὶ οἱ θεοὶ αὐτῶν ἔσονται ὑμῖν εἰς σκάνδαλον.

2.3 Quamobrem nolui delere. AUG., quæst. 13 in Jud. Hinc intelligimus quædam ex ira Dei venire peccata. Ut enim dii gentium, inter quas non exterminatas Isrælitæ habitare voluerunt, essent eis in scandalum, id est, facerent eos scandalizari in Deo suo, eoque offenso vivere, indignans comminatus est Deus, quod manifestum est, magnum esse peccatum. Dimisit ergo Josue. AUG. Hoc per recapitulationem iteratur. Nam et mors Jesu Nave in hoc libro memoratur, ut tanquam ab exordio breviter cuncta insinuentur, ex quo dedit eis Dominus terram, et quomodo sub judicibus vixerint, vel quæ perpessi sint; et iterum, reditur ad judicum ordinem, ab eo qui primus est constitutus.

and=also say not drive_~_out DOM,them from,before,you_all and=they_will_be to/for=you_all in,sides and,gods,their be to/for=you_all as,snare
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. (See the next note for another way to do this.) Alternate translation: “And I have also said that I would not expel them from before you, but they would be to you like thorns in your sides, and their gods would be a snare to you”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְגַ֣ם אָמַ֔רְתִּי
and=also say
The angel, speaking on behalf of Yahweh, assumes that the Israelites will know when he also said this. In Numbers 33:55, Yahweh told the Israelites that if they did not drive out the Canaanites, the ones who remained would be thorns in their sides. In Joshua 23:12–13, Joshua warned the Israelites that if they made treaties with the Canaanite nations and intermarried with them, then Yahweh would no longer dispossess those nations and they would be thorns and a snare to the Israelites. So the angel seems to be indicating that Joshua was speaking on behalf of Yahweh when Joshua said that Yahweh would no longer drive out the Canaanites. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “And as I said through Joshua, I will not expel them from the face of you, but they will be to you in the sides, and their gods will be to you for a snare”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְהָי֤וּ לָכֶם֙ לְצִדִּ֔ים
and=they_will_be to/for=you_all in,sides
The angel 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: “but they will be thorns in your sides”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְהָי֤וּ לָכֶם֙ לְצִדִּ֔ים
and=they_will_be to/for=you_all in,sides
Yahweh spoke as if the Canaanites would literally be thorns in the sides of the Israelites. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “but they will continually cause trouble for you”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וֵאלֹ֣הֵיהֶ֔ם יִהְי֥וּ לָכֶ֖ם לְמוֹקֵֽשׁ
and,gods,their be to/for=you_all as,snare
Yahweh spoke as if the gods of the Canaanites would literally be a snare in which the Israelites would be caught. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and worshiping their gods will be the cause of your destruction”
