JOB 33:33 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: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

אִם

Elihu is implicitly drawing a contrast, suggesting that, on the other hand, Job may not have anything to say once he has listened to him further. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate the contrast explicitly in your translation. Alternate translation: “But if”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

אַתָּ֥ה שְֽׁמַֽע־לִ֑⁠י

you(ms) listen to=me

For emphasis, Elihu is stating the pronoun you, whose meaning is already present in the verb translated listen. If your language can state implied pronouns explicitly for emphasis, you may want to use that construction here in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. Alternate translation: “you be the one who listens while I speak”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

חָכְמָֽה

wisdom

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wisdom, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “what is wise”
