LAM 3:19 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—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: figures-of-speech / imperative

זְכָר־עָנְיִ֥⁠י וּ⁠מְרוּדִ֖⁠י

remember affliction_of,my and,homelessness_of,my

The writer is using the imperative form Remember to make a request to God, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. If the imperative does not communicate a polite request for your readers, then use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [Please remember my affliction and my wandering]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

זְכָר־עָנְיִ֥⁠י וּ⁠מְרוּדִ֖⁠י

remember affliction_of,my and,homelessness_of,my

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of affliction and wandering, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [Remember how I have been afflicted and how I have wandered]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

עָנְיִ֥⁠י וּ⁠מְרוּדִ֖⁠י

affliction_of,my and,homelessness_of,my

The terms my affliction and my wandering mean similar things. The writer 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: [my great distress]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

לַעֲנָ֥ה וָ⁠רֹֽאשׁ

wormwood and,poison

The terms the wormwood and the poison mean similar things. The writer again is using the two terms together for emphasis and here also you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [the overwhelming bitterness]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לַעֲנָ֥ה וָ⁠רֹֽאשׁ

wormwood and,poison

Here the writer speaks of his bitter suffering as if it were wormwood and poison that he was forced to taste. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the overwhelming bitterness of my experience]
