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.

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

עֵינַ֣יִם הָ֭יִיתִי לַֽ⁠עִוֵּ֑ר וְ⁠רַגְלַ֖יִם לַ⁠פִּסֵּ֣חַ אָֽנִי

eyes was to_the,blind and,feet to_the,lame I

Job is speaking as if he had literally been eyes and feet that other people needed. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I saw and read things to help people who could not see, and I went places on behalf of people who could not go to those places themselves]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

לַֽ⁠עִוֵּ֑ר & לַ⁠פִּסֵּ֣חַ

to_the,blind & to_the,lame

Job is using the adjectives blind and lame 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: [for blind people … for lame people]
