PRO 12:3 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 / gendernotations

אָדָ֣ם

humankind

Although the term man is masculine, Solomon is using the word in a generic sense that could refer to either a man or woman. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “A person”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

לֹא־יִכּ֣וֹן & בַּל־יִמּֽוֹט

not established & never moved

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: “will not establish himself … nobody will shake”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לֹא־יִכּ֣וֹן

not established

Here the word translated as established refers to having a stable and secure life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “will not be made secure”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְּ⁠רֶ֑שַׁע

in/on/at/with,wickedness

See how you translated the abstract noun wickedness in 4:17.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠שֹׁ֥רֶשׁ צַ֝דִּיקִ֗ים בַּל־יִמּֽוֹט

and,root righteous never moved

Here Solomon refers to someone’s life remaining secure as if that person’s security were a root that could not be shaken. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “but the security of the righteous ones will not end” or “but the security of the righteous ones will remain”
