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-condition-hypothetical

וְ⁠גַם־אֲנִ֥י אוֹדֶ֑⁠ךָּ

and=also I confess,you

Yahweh is using the word And to introduce the second part of an implied conditional statement. He means that he will praise Job only if Job is able to do the things he has just described. Alternate translation: “Only then would I praise you” or “If you were able to do these things, then I would praise you”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

אֲנִ֥י אוֹדֶ֑⁠ךָּ

I confess,you

For emphasis, Yahweh is stating the pronoun I, whose meaning is already present in the verb translated praise. 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: “I myself will praise you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יְמִינֶֽ⁠ךָ

right_hand,your_own

Here the right hand represents the power and control that people have over something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “your power”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יְמִינֶֽ⁠ךָ

right_hand,your_own

Yahweh is using the right hand as a symbol of strength because in this culture, a majority of the population more naturally used that hand. Yahweh is not saying that there is anything wrong with being left-handed. Particularly if many of the people in your culture naturally use their left hands, you may wish to use an equivalent expression here that does not name a particular hand. Alternate translation: “your own hand”
