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

יְֽמַלֵּ֥ט & וְ֝⁠נִמְלַ֗ט

deliver & and,delivered

The pronoun He in the first part of this verse refers to God, while the pronoun he in the second part of the verse refers to a person who is not innocent. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “God will rescue … indeed, that person will be rescued”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

אִֽי־נָקִ֑י

not innocent

Job is using the adjective not-innocent as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “people who are not innocent” or “people who are guilty of sin”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ֝⁠נִמְלַ֗ט

and,delivered

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “indeed, God will rescue him”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠בֹ֣ר כַּפֶּֽי⁠ךָ

in/on/at/with,cleanness hands,your

Eliphaz is likely using the term hands by association to mean “prayers,” since people in this culture lifted their hands when they prayed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “through the cleanness of your prayers”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּ⁠בֹ֣ר כַּפֶּֽי⁠ךָ

in/on/at/with,cleanness hands,your

Eliphaz is speaking as if Job would have literally refrained from doing things that would make his hands dirty. He means that Job would not have done wrong things, and so he could offer prayers to God as an innocent person whose prayers God would answer. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “through the prayers that you, as an innocent person, offer for him”
