NAH 2:9 Parallel Verse View

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: figures-of-speech / explicit

בֹּ֥זּוּ כֶ֖סֶף בֹּ֣זּוּ זָהָ֑ב וְ⁠אֵ֥ין קֵ֨צֶה֙ לַ⁠תְּכוּנָ֔ה כָּבֹ֕ד מִ⁠כֹּ֖ל כְּלִ֥י חֶמְדָּֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: plunder silver plunder gold and,there_[is]_not end to,supply abundance from=all thing_of precious )

The implication is that these are the words of the attackers. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [The attackers say, “Plunder silver, plunder gold, for there is no end to the supply; a wealth of all things of delight”]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

וְ⁠אֵ֥ין קֵ֨צֶה֙ לַ⁠תְּכוּנָ֔ה

and,there_[is]_not end (Some words not found in UHB: plunder silver plunder gold and,there_[is]_not end to,supply abundance from=all thing_of precious )

The author is using an exaggeration to emphasize how much wealth Nineveh had. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [for there is an abundance available]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

כְּלִ֥י חֶמְדָּֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: plunder silver plunder gold and,there_[is]_not end to,supply abundance from=all thing_of precious )

The author is using the possessive form to describe things that are characterized by delight. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use an adjective. Alternate translation: [delightful things]
