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 as a tool 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 / simile

ἦτε & ὡς πρόβατα πλανώμενοι

˱you_all˲_were & like sheep ˓being˒_strayed

Peter speaks about his readers before they believed in Christ as if they had been similar to lost sheep that were wandering around aimlessly. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [you were living aimlessly without knowing God]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐπεστράφητε

˱you_all˲_˓were˒_returned

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [God has turned you back]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸν ποιμένα καὶ ἐπίσκοπον τῶν ψυχῶν ὑμῶν

the shepherd and overseer ˱of˲_the souls ˱of˲_you_all

Peter uses shepherd and overseer to refer to Jesus. Just as a shepherd protects his sheep and an overseer takes care of his workers, Jesus protects and takes care of those who trust in him. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the one who protects and takes care of your souls]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

τῶν ψυχῶν ὑμῶν

˱of˲_the souls ˱of˲_you_all

See how you translated souls in [1:9](../01/09.md).
