LAM 3:45 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 / infostructure

סְחִ֧י וּ⁠מָא֛וֹס תְּשִׂימֵ֖⁠נוּ

scum and,refuse (Some words not found in UHB: scum and,refuse you,have_made_us in,the_midst_of of,the_peoples )

In this verse the object Offscouring and refuse comes before the subject and verb you make for emphasis. If it would be more natural in your language, you could restructure this to put the subject and verb first. Alternate translation: [You make us offscouring and refuse]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

סְחִ֧י וּ⁠מָא֛וֹס תְּשִׂימֵ֖⁠נוּ

scum and,refuse (Some words not found in UHB: scum and,refuse you,have_made_us in,the_midst_of of,the_peoples )

Here the writer is speaking of the people as if they were offscouring and refuse, that is, filth and garbage that others discard. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [You have made us despised and rejected]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

סְחִ֧י וּ⁠מָא֛וֹס

scum and,refuse

The terms Offscouring and refuse 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: [Worthless waste]
