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

זֶ֗ה

this

The pronoun This does not refer to a specific person. Job is using it to describe one kind of person and to introduce a contrast with a different kind of person, whom he describes as “That one” in verse 25. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “One person”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בְּ⁠עֶ֣צֶם תֻּמּ֑⁠וֹ

in/on/at/with,prosperity full,his

In this expression, the word bone indicates the essence of something. Your language may have a comparable expression that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: “at the height of his perfection”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְּ⁠עֶ֣צֶם תֻּמּ֑⁠וֹ

in/on/at/with,prosperity full,his

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of perfection, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “while he is still perfectly healthy”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

כֻּ֝לּ֗⁠וֹ שַׁלְאֲנַ֥ן וְ⁠שָׁלֵֽיו

completely,him secure and,at_ease

Job says all here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: “he is very tranquil and secure”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

כֻּ֝לּ֗⁠וֹ שַׁלְאֲנַ֥ן וְ⁠שָׁלֵֽיו

completely,him secure and,at_ease

The terms tranquil and secure mean similar things. Job may be using the two terms together for emphasis. However, there is a slight difference between them. The word tranquil refers more to a person not having to worry about threats, while the word secure refers more to a person being wealthy. You could express both words with a single phrase that would communicate emphasis, or you could use two words to bring out the different shades of meaning. Alternate translation: “he is very comfortable” or “he is so wealthy that he does not worry”
