JDG 9:33 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 / yousingular

תַּשְׁכִּ֖ים וּ⁠פָשַׁטְתָּ֣ & אֵלֶ֔י⁠ךָ וְ⁠עָשִׂ֣יתָ & יָדֶֽ⁠ךָ

get_up and,rush & against,you and,do & hand_of,you

The words you and your are singular throughout this verse because the messengers are addressing Abimelech directly. However, they are speaking of what he and his troops will do, so it may be more natural for you to use plural forms if your language marks that distinction.

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ה֞וּא

he/it

The pronoun he refers to Gaal. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [Gaal]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

כַּ⁠אֲשֶׁ֖ר תִּמְצָ֥א יָדֶֽ⁠ךָ

just=as finds hand_of,you

The messengers are using a common expression that means that Abimelech would do what the opportunity allowed and the situation directed. In other words, Zebul was not making any further recommendation about what Abimelech should do at this point but leaving it to his discretion. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [as the opportunity presents]

Note 4 topic: translate-tense

וְ⁠הָיָ֤ה בַ⁠בֹּ֨קֶר֙ כִּ⁠זְרֹ֣חַ הַ⁠שֶּׁ֔מֶשׁ תַּשְׁכִּ֖ים וּ⁠פָשַׁטְתָּ֣ עַל־הָ⁠עִ֑יר

and=it_was in/on/at/with,morning at,up the,sun get_up and,rush on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=city

The messengers are continuing to communicate a recommendation from Zebul. Translate this using forms that someone would use in your language to address a superior. Alternate translation: [And I would recommend that in the morning, as the sun rises, you start early and rush against the city]
