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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

אָ֥ז הָלְמ֖וּ עִקְּבֵי־ס֑וּס מִֽ⁠דַּהֲר֖וֹת דַּהֲר֥וֹת אַבִּירָֽי⁠ו

then beat hoofs horses' with,galloping galloping stallions,his

The pronoun his refers to Sisera. This is a description of the sound of Sisera’s horses fleeing from the battle. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [Then there was the sound of horses’ hooves beating, as Sisera’s mighty steeds galloped away from the battlefield]

Note 2 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

הָלְמ֖וּ עִקְּבֵי־ס֑וּס

beat hoofs horses'

Since the song is referring to all of Sisera’s horses, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of horse. Alternate translation: [the hooves of horses beat]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

מִֽ⁠דַּהֲר֖וֹת דַּהֲר֥וֹת אַבִּירָֽי⁠ו

with,galloping galloping stallions,his

The author is repeating the verb galloping in order to intensify the idea that it expresses and perhaps to imitate the repetitive sound of horses’ hooves beating against the ground. If your language can repeat words for intensification and poetic effect, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: [as Sisera’s mighty steeds galloped wildly away]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

אַבִּירָֽי⁠ו

stallions,his

The song is using the adjective mighty as a noun to mean a horse that has the characteristic of being mighty. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [his mighty steeds]
