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.

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
וְגַם
and=also
This phrase indicates that what follows is more of the report that Sanballat claims he is hearing from the people in the surrounding countries. If it would be helpful in your language, you could put something in your translation to indicate this. Alternate translation: “These people are also saying that”
נְבִיאִ֡ים הֶעֱמַ֣דְתָּ לִקְרֹא֩ עָלֶ֨יךָ בִֽירוּשָׁלִַ֜ם
prophets set_up to=call concerning,you in/on/at/with,Jerusalem
Alternate translation: “you have appointed prophets to make this proclamation about you in Jerusalem”
לֵאמֹ֗ר מֶ֚לֶךְ בִּֽיהוּדָ֔ה
to=say king in/on/at/with,Judah
The proclamation can be presented as a direct quotation. “Saying” can be represented by the quotation marks and whatever punctuation your language uses to introduce a quotation. Alternate translation: “The Jews now have a king of their own”
וְעַתָּה֙
and=now
This is not a reference to time. Sanballat is using this expression to introduce a further inference. Alternate translation: “certainly”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
יִשָּׁמַ֣ע לַמֶּ֔לֶךְ כַּדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֑לֶּה
reported to/for=the_king according_to_the,words the=these
If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this with an active form. Alternate translation: “King Artaxerxes will certainly hear these reports”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
יִשָּׁמַ֣ע לַמֶּ֔לֶךְ כַּדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֑לֶּה
reported to/for=the_king according_to_the,words the=these
The implication is that when Artaxerxes hears these reports, he will be very angry with Nehemiah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “King Artaxerxes will certainly hear these reports, and when he does, he will be very angry with you”
Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
וְעַתָּה֙
and=now
This is not a reference to time. Sanballat is using this expression to introduce his conclusion. This term expresses that the sentences that came before provide the reason for the sentence that comes after. Alternate translation: “Therefore”
לְכָ֔ה וְנִֽוָּעֲצָ֖ה יַחְדָּֽו
come, and,confer together
As in 6:2, “come” is a word of encouragement rather than a command. Alternate translation: “So we really should meet together and talk about this”
