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 / idiom

אֶשָּׂ֣א דֵ֭עִ⁠י לְ⁠מֵ⁠רָח֑וֹק

get knowledge,my at,from,afar

Elihu is describing places that are afar off from the perspective of how far a person would have to travel to come from those places. That is why he speaks of the places as being from afar and why he speaks of going to those places as going to from afar. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I will carry my knowledge to distant places”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֶשָּׂ֣א דֵ֭עִ⁠י לְ⁠מֵ⁠רָח֑וֹק

get knowledge,my at,from,afar

Elihu is speaking as if his knowledge were an object that he could literally carry to distant places. Your language may have a similar expression that you can use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: “I will show a wide knowledge of my subject” or “I will speak with comprehensive knowledge”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

אֶשָּׂ֣א דֵ֭עִ⁠י לְ⁠מֵ⁠רָח֑וֹק

get knowledge,my at,from,afar

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of knowledge, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “I will show that I know a wide range of things”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וּ֝⁠לְ⁠פֹעֲלִ֗⁠י אֶֽתֵּֽן־צֶֽדֶק

and,to,maker,my ascribe righteousness

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of righteousness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “and I will show that my Maker is righteous”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ֝⁠לְ⁠פֹעֲלִ֗⁠י

and,to,maker,my

By my Maker, Elihu implicitly means God, who made him. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and … to God, who made me”
