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: writing-quotations

כִּ֗י הִנֵּ֛ה בַּ⁠יָּמִ֥ים הָ⁠הֵ֖מָּה וּ⁠בָ⁠עֵ֣ת הַ⁠הִ֑יא

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when see/lo/see! in_the=days (the),those and,at,time (the),that which/who restore DOM fortunes_of Yehuda and,Jerusalem )

This verse continues a direct quotation from Yahweh. You may wish to indicate that in your translation, using a natural way of continuing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [Yahweh also said, “For behold, in those days and at that time]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

כִּ֗י הִנֵּ֛ה

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when see/lo/see! in_the=days (the),those and,at,time (the),that which/who restore DOM fortunes_of Yehuda and,Jerusalem )

Yahweh is using the term behold to focus his listeners’ attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [Now look] or [Now listen]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

בַּ⁠יָּמִ֥ים הָ⁠הֵ֖מָּה וּ⁠בָ⁠עֵ֣ת הַ⁠הִ֑יא

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when see/lo/see! in_the=days (the),those and,at,time (the),that which/who restore DOM fortunes_of Yehuda and,Jerusalem )

The expressions in those days and at that time mean similar things. Yahweh is using the two expressions together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [when that wonderful time comes]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

אֲשֶׁ֥ר אָשִׁ֛יב אֶת־שְׁב֥וּת יְהוּדָ֖ה וִ⁠ירוּשָׁלִָֽם

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when see/lo/see! in_the=days (the),those and,at,time (the),that which/who restore DOM fortunes_of Yehuda and,Jerusalem )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of captivity, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [when I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem]

Note 5 topic: translate-textvariants

אֲשֶׁ֥ר אָשִׁ֛יב אֶת־שְׁב֥וּת יְהוּדָ֖ה וִ⁠ירוּשָׁלִָֽם

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when see/lo/see! in_the=days (the),those and,at,time (the),that which/who restore DOM fortunes_of Yehuda and,Jerusalem )

See the discussion in the introduction to this chapter of an alternate reading for this phrase. Alternate translation: [when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem]
