JOEL 1:16 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 as a tool 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 / rquestion

הֲ⁠ל֛וֹא נֶ֥גֶד עֵינֵ֖י⁠נוּ אֹ֣כֶל נִכְרָ֑ת מִ⁠בֵּ֥ית אֱלֹהֵ֖י⁠נוּ שִׂמְחָ֥ה וָ⁠גִֽיל

am=not before eyes_of,our food cut_off from,house_of God_of,our joy and,gladness

Joel is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [Food has been cut off before our eyes, and joy and gladness from the house of our God!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

הֲ⁠ל֛וֹא נֶ֥גֶד עֵינֵ֖י⁠נוּ אֹ֣כֶל נִכְרָ֑ת

am=not before eyes_of,our food cut_off

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Have not the locusts cut off food before our eyes]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

נֶ֥גֶד עֵינֵ֖י⁠נוּ

before eyes_of,our

Joel is using the term eyes to mean sight, by association with the way eyes are used for seeing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [from our sight]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

מִ⁠בֵּ֥ית אֱלֹהֵ֖י⁠נוּ שִׂמְחָ֥ה וָ⁠גִֽיל

from,house_of God_of,our joy and,gladness

Joel is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and have not joy and gladness been cut off from the house of our God]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

שִׂמְחָ֥ה וָ⁠גִֽיל

joy and,gladness

The terms joy and gladness mean similar things. Joel is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [all celebration]
