JOB 31:32 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 / doublenegatives

בַּ֭⁠חוּץ לֹא־יָלִ֣ין גֵּ֑ר

in/on/at/with,street not lodged stranger

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative phrase stayed overnight in the outdoors. Alternate translation: “I have allowed the sojourner to stay in my home”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

לֹא־יָלִ֣ין גֵּ֑ר & לָ⁠אֹ֥רַח

not lodged stranger & to_the,traveler

Job is not referring to a specific sojourner or to a specific traveler. He means sojourners and travelers in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: “Sojourners have not stayed overnight … to travelers”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

דְּ֝לָתַ֗⁠י לָ⁠אֹ֥רַח אֶפְתָּֽח

door,my to_the,traveler opened

Job is using one thing he would do to provide hospitality, open his doors, to mean the entire act of providing hospitality. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I have provided hospitality to travelers”
