NEH 1:7 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. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

חֲבֹ֖ל חָבַ֣לְנוּ לָ֑⁠ךְ

to_act_wickedly acted_corruptly to/for=you(fs)

The repetition here is used for emphasis. You do not need to repeat both phrases in your translation if that would be confusing for your readers. you could combine them into one phrase, with a word like very to convey emphasis. Alternate translation: “We have acted very corruptly toward you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

חֲבֹ֖ל חָבַ֣לְנוּ לָ֑⁠ךְ

to_act_wickedly acted_corruptly to/for=you(fs)

You can translate the idea of the abstract noun corruption with a verb such as sinned. Alternate translation: “We have sinned very much against you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

אֶת־הַ⁠מִּצְוֺ֗ת וְ⁠אֶת־הַֽ⁠חֻקִּים֙ וְ⁠אֶת־הַ⁠מִּשְׁפָּטִ֔ים

DOM the,commands and=DOM the,statutes and=DOM the,ordinances

These three words mean basically the same thing. Nehemiah uses the repetition to emphasize how comprehensively the Israelites have disobeyed what God commanded them through Moses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine them into a single phrase. Alternate translation: “the law of Moses” otherwise “the commands and rules and laws” (Note: A doublet can involve the use of more than two words.)

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוִּ֖יתָ אֶת־מֹשֶׁ֥ה עַבְדֶּֽ⁠ךָ

which/who commanded DOM Mosheh servant,your

Moses was the great leader who brought the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt centuries before and gave them God’s law. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “that you gave us many years ago through your servant Moses.”
