LAM 3:28 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 / imperative3p

יֵשֵׁ֤ב בָּדָד֙ וְ⁠יִדֹּ֔ם

(Some words not found in UHB: sit alone and,let_him_be_silent that/for/because/then/when laid on/upon/above=him/it )

The writer is using the third-person imperative form Let him sit to give instruction about what a person should do. See the discussion in the introduction to this book about “let” and “may” and follow the decision of your team here and elsewhere in this lament. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with a different form that communicates instruction or exhortation. Alternate translation: [He should sit alone and be silent] or [I desire that he sit alone and be silent]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

נָטַ֖ל עָלָֽי⁠ו

laid on/upon/above=him/it

The pronoun he in he has laid refers to God, while the pronoun him refers to the suffering person. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [God has laid it upon him]
