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 / explicit

עֲנ֣וֹשׁ לַ⁠צַּדִּ֣יק

fine on_the,innocent

Here, fine refers to requiring a the righteous to pay money as a penalty for a crime that the righteous did not do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “to wrongly require the righteous to pay a penalty”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

לַ⁠צַּדִּ֣יק

on_the,innocent

Solomon is using the adjective righteous as a noun to mean righteous people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “the righteous ones” or “people who act righteously”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

לֹא־ט֑וֹב

not good

Solomon is using a figure of speech here that expresses a strongly positive meaning by using a negative word, not, together with an expression that is the opposite of the intended meaning. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the positive meaning. Alternate translation: “is evil”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לְ⁠הַכּ֖וֹת נְדִיבִ֣ים

to,flog noble

The parallelism with the previous clause indicates that Solomon is referring to striking nobles who did not do anything wrong. Here, nobles refers to people who have a position of ruling and also have noble character. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “to wrongly strike noble people”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

יֹֽשֶׁר

uprightness

See how you translated the abstract noun uprightness in 4:11.
