Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

BrTrAnd it shall be that every one that sees thee shall go down from thee, and shall say, Wretched Nineve! who shall lament for her? whence shall I seek comfort for her?

ULTIt will come about that everyone looking at you will flee from you and say,

 ⇔ From where can I find a comforter for you?”

USTAll those who see you will run away from you and say,
 ⇔ ‘Nineveh lies in ruins,
 ⇔ but absolutely no one will mourn for it.’
 ⇔ People of Nineveh, no one will want to comfort you.”

BSBThen all who see you
 ⇔ will recoil from you and say,
 ⇔ ‘Nineveh is devastated;
 ⇔ who will grieve for her?’
 ⇔ Where can I find
 ⇔ comforters for you?”

 ⇔ they will say, ‘Nineveh has been devastated!

Each of your beholders flees from you,
And has said: Nineveh is spoiled,
Who bemoans for her? From where do I seek comforters for you?”

FBVThen everyone who sees you will shun you saying, “Nineveh is ruined! But who is going to mourn your loss?” Where should I look to find anyone to comfort you?

T4TAll those who see you will turn their backs to you and say,
 ⇔ ‘Nineveh is ruined,
 ⇔ but absolutely no one [RHQ] will mourn for it.’
 ⇔ No one will regret Nineveh being destroyed!”

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

שָׁדְּדָ֣ה נִֽינְוֵ֔ה

devastated Nīnəvēh

If your language does not use a passive form like is destroyed, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Attackers have destroyed Nineveh]

Note 2 topic: translate-tense

שָׁדְּדָ֣ה נִֽינְוֵ֔ה

devastated Nīnəvēh

The author uses the past tense here in order to refer to something that will certainly happen in the future. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the future tense. Alternate translation: [Nineveh will be destroyed]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מִ֖י יָנ֣וּד לָ֑⁠הּ

who? mourn to/for=her/it

The author is using the question form to emphasize that no one will sympathize with Nineveh. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [no one will sympathize with her!]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מֵ⁠אַ֛יִן אֲבַקֵּ֥שׁ מְנַחֲמִ֖ים לָֽ⁠ךְ

from,where seek comforters to/for=you(fs)

The author is using the question form to emphasize that no one will comfort Nineveh. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [I cannot find anyone to comfort you!]
