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

יִ֭גְזְלוּ & יַחְבֹּֽלוּ

snatch & take_a_pledge

The pronoun They in the first part of the verse and the pronoun they in the second part of the verse refer to wicked people. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “Wicked people snatch … wicked people bind a pledge”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

יָת֑וֹם & עָנִ֥י

orphan & poor

Job is using the adjectives fatherless and poor as nouns to mean certain kinds of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “fatherless children … poor people” or “children whose fathers have died … people who are poor”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יִ֭גְזְלוּ מִ⁠שֹּׁ֣ד יָת֑וֹם

snatch from,breast orphan

Job implicitly means that wicked people snatch fatherless children from the breast of their mother, that is, while they are nursing, in order to claim the children as slaves in payment of a debt. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “Wicked people even take infants away from their mothers while they are nursing, in order to claim the children as slaves in payment of a debt”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְֽ⁠עַל־עָנִ֥י יַחְבֹּֽלוּ
