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.

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.

19.15 Pigredo immittit soporem. Piger dicitur qui recte sciendo vigilat, sed nihil operando torpescit; sed pigredo immittit soporem, quia paulisper recte sentiendi vigilantia amittitur, dum ab opere cessatur. Recte autem subditur: Et anima dissoluta esuriet. Nam quia se ad superiora stringendo non dirigit, neglectam se inferius per desideria expandit, et dum studiorum subtilium vigore non constringitur, cupiditatis infimæ famæ sauciatur, ut quo per disciplinam ligari dissimulat, eo esuriens per voluptatum desideria se spargat.

Nam because se to superiora stringendo not/no dirigit, neglectam se inferius through desideria expandit, and dum studiorum subtilium vigore not/no constringitur, cupiditatis infimæ famæ sauciatur, as quo through disciplinam ligari dissimulat, eo esuriens through voluptatum desideria se spargat.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

עַ֭צְלָה תַּפִּ֣יל תַּרְדֵּמָ֑ה

laziness brings_on trance/deep_sleep/lethargy

Here Solomon speaks of a lazy person sleeping deeply as if Laziness were something that causes deep sleep to fall on that person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Laziness makes a person sleep deeply” or “A lazy person sleeps deeply”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וְ⁠נֶ֖פֶשׁ רְמִיָּ֣ה תִרְעָֽב

and,person idle suffer_hunger

Many proverbs have two parts that have a relationship to each other. The second part may strengthen the first part, give more details about the first part, or say something that is a contrast to the first part. Alternate translation: “and results in that life of idleness being hungry”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

עַ֭צְלָה & רְמִיָּ֣ה

laziness & idle

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of Laziness and idleness, you could express the same ideas in other ways. See how you translated idleness in 10:4. Alternate translation: “Being lazy … being idle”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

וְ⁠נֶ֖פֶשׁ רְמִיָּ֣ה

and,person idle

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe a life that is characterized by idleness. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “and an idle life”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠נֶ֖פֶשׁ

and,person

Here, life refers to the person himself. See how you translated the same use of life in 8:36.
