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 / activepassive

הָהְפַּ֥ךְ עָלַ֗⁠י בַּלָּ֫ה֥וֹת

turned upon,me terrors

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. The word Terrors could indicate: (1) things that create fear or terror. Alternate translation: “Terrible things keep happening to me” (2) terrors or fears themselves. Alternate translation: “I have many fears”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

תִּרְדֹּ֣ף & נְדִבָתִ֑⁠י

pursued & honor,my

Job is speaking of these Terrors as if they were living things that could pursue him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “each one deprives me of dignity”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כָּ֭⁠רוּחַ

as_the,wind

The point of this comparison is that just as a strong wind relentlessly drives away light objects, so the Terrors that Job is experiencing are relentlessly depriving him of dignity. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “relentlessly”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וּ֝⁠כְ⁠עָ֗ב עָבְרָ֥ה יְשֻׁעָתִֽ⁠י

and,like,cloud passed_away prosperity,my

The point of this comparison is that just as a cloud fades from the sky, so all hope of deliverance has faded for Job. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “and I no longer have any hope of deliverance”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וּ֝⁠כְ⁠עָ֗ב עָבְרָ֥ה יְשֻׁעָתִֽ⁠י

and,like,cloud passed_away prosperity,my

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of deliverance, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “and I no longer have any hope that someone will deliver me”
