PRO 1:18 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: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וְ֭⁠הֵם

and,they

Here, but indicates a contrast between the bird mentioned in the previous verse and the sinners who speak in 1:11–14. Use the most natural way in your language to indicate a contrast. You may want to start a new sentence. Alternate translation: “By contrast, they”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ֭⁠הֵם לְ⁠דָמָ֣⁠ם יֶאֱרֹ֑בוּ יִ֝צְפְּנ֗וּ לְ⁠נַפְשֹׁתָֽ⁠ם׃

and,they for,blood,their_own lie_in_wait ambush (Some words not found in UHB: and,they for,blood,their_own lie_in_wait ambush for,lives,their_own )

This verse compares the sinners to the birds being hunted in the previous verse. But here it speaks of the sinners as both the hunters and the hunted. Unlike a bird that is smart enough to avoid a net, these sinners destroy themselves by doing sinful things that cause them to be killed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “but because they intend to kill others, they will be killed; their attempts to attack others will cost them their lives”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וְ֭⁠הֵם לְ⁠דָמָ֣⁠ם יֶאֱרֹ֑בוּ יִ֝צְפְּנ֗וּ לְ⁠נַפְשֹׁתָֽ⁠ם׃

and,they for,blood,their_own lie_in_wait ambush (Some words not found in UHB: and,they for,blood,their_own lie_in_wait ambush for,lives,their_own )

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use a word that shows the connection between these two clauses. Alternate translation: “but they lie in wait for their blood; yes, they hide in ambush for their lives”

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ֭⁠הֵם לְ⁠דָמָ֣⁠ם יֶאֱרֹ֑בוּ יִ֝צְפְּנ֗וּ לְ⁠נַפְשֹׁתָֽ⁠ם׃

and,they for,blood,their_own lie_in_wait ambush (Some words not found in UHB: and,they for,blood,their_own lie_in_wait ambush for,lives,their_own )

In this verse, the pronouns they and their refer to the sinners described in 1:10–16. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “but those sinners lie in wait for their own blood; those sinners hide in ambush for their own lives”

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וְ֭⁠הֵם לְ⁠דָמָ֣⁠ם יֶאֱרֹ֑בוּ יִ֝צְפְּנ֗וּ לְ⁠נַפְשֹׁתָֽ⁠ם

and,they for,blood,their_own lie_in_wait ambush for,lives,their_own

In this verse, for introduces the result of these actions. They lie in wait and hide in ambush and the result is that it costs them their bloodand their lives. Use the most natural way in your language to indicate results. Alternate translation: “but they lie in wait, which costs them their blood; they hide in ambush, which costs them their lives”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠דָמָ֣⁠ם

for,blood,their_own
