PRO 19:5 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 / parallelism

עֵ֣ד שְׁ֭קָרִים לֹ֣א יִנָּקֶ֑ה וְ⁠יָפִ֥יחַ כְּ֝זָבִ֗ים לֹ֣א יִמָּלֵֽט

witness false not go_unpunished and,utters lies not escape

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second phrase emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “A witness of falsehoods will not be blameless, yes, he who breathes out lies will not escape”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

עֵ֣ד שְׁ֭קָרִים & וְ⁠יָפִ֥יחַ כְּ֝זָבִ֗ים

witness false & and,utters lies

A witness of falsehoods and he who breathes out lies refer to a type of person, not a specific person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Any witness of falsehoods … and any person who breathes out lies”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

עֵ֣ד שְׁ֭קָרִים

witness false

See how you translated this phrase in 12:17.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

לֹ֣א יִנָּקֶ֑ה

not go_unpunished

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: “will certainly be blamed”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠יָפִ֥יחַ כְּ֝זָבִ֗ים

and,utters lies

See how you translated breathes out lies in 6:19.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

לֹ֣א יִמָּלֵֽט

not not escape

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לֹ֣א יִמָּלֵֽט

not not escape

Here Solomon implies that someone who breathes out lies will not escape punishment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “will not escape punishment”
