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 / genericnoun

בּוֹטֵ֣חַ בְּ֭⁠עָשְׁר⁠וֹ ה֣וּא יִפֹּ֑ל

trusts in/on/at/with,riches_of,his he/it fall

One, his, and he in this verse refer to a type of person in general. They do not refer to a specific person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Any person who trusts in that person’s own riches, that person will fall”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

ה֣וּא יִפֹּ֑ל

he/it fall

In the original, Solomon adds the pronoun “you,” the meaning of which is already included in the verb translated as fall. This adds emphasis to what he is saying. If your language uses explicit pronouns for emphasis, you may want to use that construction in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. The ULT does so by using the intensive pronoun himself. Alternate translation: “that very person will fall”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ה֣וּא יִפֹּ֑ל

he/it fall

See how you translated the same use of fall in [11:5](../11/05.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וְ֝⁠כֶ⁠עָלֶ֗ה צַדִּיקִ֥ים יִפְרָֽחוּ

and,like_the,green_leaf righteous flourish

Solomon is saying that the righteous are like a leaf that sprouts out of a plant because they prosper and thrive. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “but righteous ones prosper like a leaf that sprouts and grows”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ֝⁠כֶ⁠עָלֶ֗ה

and,like_the,green_leaf

Here Solomon refers to a green leaf that is growing, rather than a fallen or withered leaf. If it would be helpful in your language, or if your language uses different words for a fresh or withered leaf, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “but like a healthy leaf,”
