JOB 39:9 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 / personification

הֲ⁠יֹ֣אבֶה רֵּ֣ים עָבְדֶ֑⁠ךָ

?,willing wild_ox serve,you

Yahweh is speaking of the wild ox as if it were a living thing that could consent to serve Job. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Would a wild ox plow your fields without balking”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אִם־יָ֝לִ֗ין עַל־אֲבוּסֶֽ⁠ךָ

if spend_the_night on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in manger,your

Yahweh is using the word If to introduce a question that anticipates a negative answer. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “It would not lodge by your manger, would it”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

אֲבוּסֶֽ⁠ךָ

manger,your

A manger was a box or frame in which people put hay or other food for animals to eat. In this culture, animals were often kept near a home to keep them safe and so that their owners could feed them easily. If your readers would not be familiar with what a manger is, in your translation you could use the name of a comparable object in your culture, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “your feeding trough” or “the box in which you put food for your farm animals”
