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.

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

מָ֭אַסְתִּי

loathe_~_life

Job is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “I loathe my life” or “I loathe being alive”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

לֹא־לְ⁠עֹלָ֣ם אֶֽחְיֶ֑ה

not to=vanishing_point live

Job is using the future tense to describe what he desires. Your language may have its own way of expressing such a meaning. Alternate translation: “I would not live forever” or “I do not want to live forever”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

לֹא־לְ⁠עֹלָ֣ם אֶֽחְיֶ֑ה

not to=vanishing_point live

Job says forever here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: “I certainly do not want to live for a long time”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

חֲדַ֥ל מִ֝מֶּ֗⁠נִּי

let_~_alone from,me

Job is using this expression to ask God to Cease from troubling him. Your language may have an expression of its own with the same meaning. Alternate translation: “Leave me alone”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הֶ֥בֶל

Heⱱel/(Abel)

Job could be using the word translated vapor to mean: (1) that his days are fleeting, since vapor or mist vanishes quickly. Alternate translation: “are fleeting” (2) that his days are purposeless, since vapor is insubstantial. Alternate translation: “are purposeless”
