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 / litotes

לֹא־יְחַיֶּ֥ה רָשָׁ֑ע

not keep_~_alive wicked

Elihu is expressing a positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of his intended meaning. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He punishes the wicked by killing them”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

רָשָׁ֑ע & עֲנִיִּ֣ים

wicked & afflicted

Elihu is using the adjectives wicked and lowly as nouns to mean certain kinds of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “wicked people … lowly people”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וּ⁠מִשְׁפַּ֖ט עֲנִיִּ֣ים יִתֵּֽן

and,justice afflicted he/it_gave

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of justice, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “but he makes sure that others treat lowly people fairly”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

עֲנִיִּ֣ים

afflicted

See how you translated the term lowly in 29:12.
