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 / abstractnouns

שֵׂ֣כֶל & וְ֝⁠תִפאַרְתּ֗⁠וֹ & פָּֽשַׁע

good_sense & and,glory,his & offense

See how you translated the abstract nouns insight in 1:3, splendor in 4:9, and transgression in 10:19.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

אָ֭דָם & אַפּ֑⁠וֹ וְ֝⁠תִפאַרְתּ֗⁠וֹ

humankind & anger,him and,glory,his

Although a man and his are masculine, Solomon is using the words in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use phrases that make this clear. Alternate translation: “a person … that person’s nose … and that person’s splendor”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

הֶאֱרִ֣יךְ אַפּ֑⁠וֹ

slow anger,him

Here Solomon refers to not becoming angry quickly as if a person’s nose became long. The word nose here means “anger” by association with the way that a person who is angry breathes heavily through his nose. Your language and culture may also associate anger with a particular part of the body. If so, you could use an expression involving that part of the body in your translation. You could also use plain language. See how you translated the similar expression “long of nostrils” in 14:29. Alternate translation: “causes him to not easily vent his spleen” or “causes him not to become angry quickly”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

עֲבֹ֣ר עַל

overlook on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in

Here Solomon refers to a person ignoring or forgiving a transgression as if that person passes over it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “is to ignore” or “is to forgive”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

פָּֽשַׁע

offense

Here, the word transgression represents transgressions in general, not one particular transgression. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: “any transgression”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

פָּֽשַׁע

offense

Here Solomon implies that this is a transgression that someone has committed against the person who passes over it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “a transgression that someone has committed against him”
