JDG 9:32 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 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: grammar-connect-words-phrases

וְ⁠עַתָּה֙

and=now

The messengers are not using the word now to mean “at this moment.” They are using the word to draw attention to the important point that follows. Alternate translation: [So this is what you should do:]

Note 2 topic: translate-tense

ק֣וּם & וֶ⁠אֱרֹ֖ב

come & and,lie_in_wait

While these are imperatives, the messengers are using them to communicate a recommendation from Zebul rather than a command. Translate them with a form that someone would use in your language to address a superior. Alternate translation: [I would recommend that you arise … and hide]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ק֣וּם

come

See how you translated the word arise in 4:14. While Abimelek and his troops would have to get up out of bed in order to travel to Shechem at night, the meaning is not simply that they should do that, but that they should take action to defeat the rebellion. Alternate translation: [get going] or, perhaps more deferentially, [take action]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בַּ⁠שָּׂדֶֽה

in/on/at/with,field

Since 9:36 indicates that Abimelek and his troops launched their attack from “the tops of the hills,” and the people of Shechem grew their crops in the valley between the hills, not up on the hills, the messengers are probably using the word field to mean the open area outside the city. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [in the countryside]
