JOB 2:5 Parallel Verse View

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 / imperative

stretch_out now hand,your and,touch to/towards bones,his and=near/to flesh,his if not to/towards face,your curse,you

The terms stretch out and touch are imperatives, but they communicate an assertion rather than commands. Use a form in your language that communicates an assertion. See how you translated the same expression in 1:11. Alternate translation: “if you stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, he will bless you to your face”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

שְֽׁלַֽח־נָ֣א יָֽדְ⁠ךָ֔

stretch_out now hand,your

Here, hand represents the capability of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the same expression in 1:11. Alternate translation: “just use your power”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠גַ֥ע

and,touch

In this context, the word touch means “harm.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and harm”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

אֶל־עַצְמ֖⁠וֹ וְ⁠אֶל־בְּשָׂר֑⁠וֹ

to/towards bones,his and=near/to flesh,his

The adversary is using two parts of Job’s body, his bones and his flesh, to mean Job’s whole body. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “his body”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

אִם

The adversary is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. See how you translated the same expression in 1:11. Alternate translation: “and see if”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

יְבָרֲכֶֽ⁠ךָּ

curse,you

See how you translated the same expression in 1:11. Scribes may also have made a change here from “curse” to bless. If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT. Alternate translation: “he will … curse you”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֶל־פָּנֶ֖י⁠ךָ

to/towards to/towards face,your

Here the word face represents the presence of a person by association with the way people can see the face of someone who is present. See how you translated the same expression in 1:11. Alternate translation: “in person”
