JOEL 1:7 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: writing-pronouns

שָׂ֤ם גַּפְנִ⁠י֙ לְ⁠שַׁמָּ֔ה וּ⁠תְאֵנָתִ֖⁠י לִ⁠קְצָפָ֑ה

laid vine_of,my to,waste and,fig_tree_of,my to,splintered

Since Joel and the people whom he is addressing eat the same crops, it may be more natural in your language to say “our” instead of my. Alternate translation: [It has made our vines into a waste and our fig trees into splinters]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

שָׂ֤ם גַּפְנִ⁠י֙ לְ⁠שַׁמָּ֔ה

laid vine_of,my to,waste

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of waste, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [It has wasted my vine] or [It has ruined my vine]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

חָשֹׂ֤ף חֲשָׂפָ⁠הּ֙

to_strip_off stripped_~_bare,their

Joel is repeating the verb “strip” in order to intensify the idea that it expresses. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: [It has stripped it completely]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠הִשְׁלִ֔יךְ

and,thrown_~_down

Joel is speaking as if the locusts had literally thrown … away the vegetation they had finished eating. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [spit it out]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הִלְבִּ֖ינוּ שָׂרִיגֶֽי⁠הָ

turned_white branches_of,their

Joel is using the term have become white to mean that the branches have been stripped of their bark, by association with the way the wood underneath the bark is white in color. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [its branches have been stripped of their bark]
