LAM 3:44 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.

Text critical issues=none Clarity of original=clear Importance to us=normal (All still tentative.)

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

סַכּ֤וֹתָה בֶֽ⁠עָנָן֙ לָ֔⁠ךְ

covered with,cloud to/for=you(fs)

Here the writer is speaking of a barrier to communication with God as if God had covered himself in a cloud. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [You made yourself unreachable]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

מֵ⁠עֲב֖וֹר תְּפִלָּֽה

from,passing_through (Some words not found in UHB: covered with,cloud to/for=you(fs) from,passing_through prayer )

The phrase from a prayer passing through indicates the result of God covering himself in a cloud. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that makes it clear that this is a result of God covering himself in a cloud. Alternate translation: [with the result that no prayer reached you]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

from,passing_through (Some words not found in UHB: covered with,cloud to/for=you(fs) from,passing_through prayer )
