Job 42:17 — compare Bible translations

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted 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 / metaphor

זָקֵ֖ן וּ⁠שְׂבַ֥ע יָמִֽים

old (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_died ʼIyyōⱱ/(Job) old and,satisfied_of days )

The author is speaking as if days were an object and as if Job were a container that was full of them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [old and having lived for many days]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

זָקֵ֖ן וּ⁠שְׂבַ֥ע יָמִֽים

old (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_died ʼIyyōⱱ/(Job) old and,satisfied_of days )

The expressions old and full of days mean similar things. The author is using them together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Your language may have a characteristic expression that it would use in such a context. Alternate translation: [at a ripe old age]
