JOEL 1:3 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 / ellipsis

וּ⁠בְנֵי⁠כֶם֙ לִ⁠בְנֵי⁠הֶ֔ם וּ⁠בְנֵי⁠הֶ֖ם לְ⁠ד֥וֹר אַחֵֽר

and,children,your_all's to,children,their and,children,their to,generation next/another

Joel is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need to be complete. You could supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and let your sons recount about it to their sons, and let their sons recount about it to the generation after”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

לִ⁠בְנֵי⁠כֶ֣ם וּ⁠בְנֵי⁠כֶם֙ לִ⁠בְנֵי⁠הֶ֔ם וּ⁠בְנֵי⁠הֶ֖ם

to,children,your_all's (Some words not found in UHB: about,it to,children,your_all's tell and,children,your_all's to,children,their and,children,their to,generation next/another )

Here the masculine term sons has a generic sense that includes both male and female children. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: “to your children, and your children to their children, and their children”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

עָלֶ֖⁠יהָ לִ⁠בְנֵי⁠כֶ֣ם סַפֵּ֑רוּ וּ⁠בְנֵי⁠כֶם֙

about,it to,children,your_all's tell and,children,your_all's

The imperative Recount and the word your are plural here because Joel is addressing the “elders” and “dwellers” mentioned in the previous verse. So use plural forms in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
