JOB 2:9 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 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.

ClVg Dixit autem illi uxor sua: Adhuc tu permanes in simplicitate tua? Benedic Deo, et morere.[fn]
(He_said however them wife his_own: Adhuc you(sg) permanes in/into/on simplicitate your? Benedic to_God, and morere. )

2.9 Dixit autem illi uxor sua. Ibid. Primam diaboli tentationem ostendit, etc., usque ad sed in asperitatem dilabuntur. Adhuc tu permanes in simplicitate tua. Simplicitatem arguit, quod terrena despicit et æterna cupit, quasi dicat: Quid simpliciter æterna petis et super his male gemis, excidens æterna despice et mala præsentia, vel moriens evade. Sed hæc passi sunt illi forma rectitudinis. Unde ait: Quasi una de stultis, etc., ferientes extra sustinent, perversos intus docent: ibi fortes, hic misericordes: ibi adversos repeliunt, hic suos protegunt; et grande est in acie hoc utrumque facere. Adhuc tu permanes. Eva verba sua repetit, quasi dicens: Desere simplicitatem, id est, obedientiam, vetitum comedendo contemne. Benedic Domino et morere. Id est, transcendendo præceptum, ultra quam es conditus vive. Vide ordinem: post vulnera verba hostis intulit, quia cum vis doloris ingravescit, facilius parva persuasio aliquem capit: propter quod qui cætera abstulit, uxorem reservavit.

But these_things passi are them forma rectitudinis.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

עֹדְ⁠ךָ֖ מַחֲזִ֣יק בְּ⁠תֻמָּתֶ֑⁠ךָ

still,you holding_on in/on/at/with,integrity_of,your

Job’s wife is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [You should not still be holding firmly to your integrity!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

בָּרֵ֥ךְ אֱלֹהִ֖ים וָ⁠מֻֽת

curse ʼElohīm and,die

You may find it more appropriate to represent this in your translation as an exclamation rather than as a statement. Alternate translation: [Bless God and die!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

בָּרֵ֥ךְ

curse

See how you translated the word “bless” in [1:11](../01/11.md) and [2:5](../02/05.md). 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: [Curse]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בָּרֵ֥ךְ אֱלֹהִ֖ים וָ⁠מֻֽת

curse ʼElohīm and,die

Job’s wife seems to be saying implicitly that Job no longer has any reason either to trust God or to live, and that if he curses God, God will kill him too and put him out of his misery. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: [Curse God so that he will kill you too and put you out of your misery]
