JOB 14:3 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 / rquestion

אַף־עַל־זֶ֭ה פָּקַ֣חְתָּ עֵינֶ֑⁠ךָ וְ⁠אֹ֘תִ֤⁠י תָבִ֖יא בְ⁠מִשְׁפָּ֣ט עִמָּֽ⁠ךְ

also/though on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in this fix eyes_of,your and,DOM,me bring in/on/at/with,judgment with,you

Job is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. It may be helpful to make this two sentences. Alternate translation: [And yet on such you open your eye! You bring me into judgment with you!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אַף־עַל־זֶ֭ה פָּקַ֣חְתָּ עֵינֶ֑⁠ךָ

also/though on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in this fix eyes_of,your

Job is using the phrase open your eye by association to mean watching. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Must you really watch such creatures]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

פָּקַ֣חְתָּ עֵינֶ֑⁠ךָ & תָבִ֖יא & עִמָּֽ⁠ךְ

fix eyes_of,your & bring & with,you

As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, the words you and your are singular here because Job is continuing to address God directly. So use the singular forms of those pronouns in your translation here and throughout this chapter if your language marks that distinction.
