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 / possession

כֹּ֣פֶר נֶֽפֶשׁ־אִ֣ישׁ

ransom life (a)_man

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe a ransom that must be paid to redeem the life of a man. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “The ransom that must be paid to redeem the life of a man” or “What a man must pay to buy back his own life”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

אִ֣ישׁ עָשְׁר֑⁠וֹ

(a)_man wealth,his

Although a man and his are masculine, Solomon is using these words 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 is that person’s riches”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

וְ֝⁠רָ֗שׁ

and,poor

Solomon is speaking of poor people in general, not of one particular poor one. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: “but any poor person”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לֹא־שָׁמַ֥ע

not hears

Here Solomon refers to a poor one completely ignoring a rebuke as if that person didn’t even hear it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “ignores” or “ignores as if he did not even hear”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

גְּעָרָֽה

threat

Here, the word translated rebuke refers to a threat that someone makes against the life of a poor one. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “a threat”
