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: figures-of-speech / explicit

לְ⁠עַבְדִּ֣⁠י קָ֭רָאתִי וְ⁠לֹ֣א יַעֲנֶ֑ה

to,servant,my call and=not answer

In this context, the word call implicitly means “summon” and the word answer implicitly means “obey.” You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “I summon my servant, but he does not obey and come to me”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

לְ⁠עַבְדִּ֣⁠י

to,servant,my

Job is not referring to a specific servant. He means all of his servants. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: “to my servants”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּמוֹ־פִ֝֗⁠י אֶתְחַנֶּן־לֽ⁠וֹ

with mouth,my plead to=him/it

Job is using the term mouth to mean by association what he has to say with his mouth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I have to speak pleadingly to him”
