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

בְּ⁠רֹ֥אשׁ הֹמִיּ֗וֹת תִּ֫קְרָ֥א בְּ⁠פִתְחֵ֖י שְׁעָרִ֥ים בָּ⁠עִ֗יר אֲמָרֶ֥י⁠הָ תֹאמֵֽר

in/on/at/with,head noisy cries_out in/on/at/with,entrance gates in/on/at/with,city sayings,her speaks

These two clauses and the two clauses of the previous verse mean basically the same thing. These two clauses emphasize the meaning of the first clause of the previous verse by repeating the same idea but naming different places in the city. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word that would show that these clauses are repeating the same idea from the previous verse, not saying something different. Alternate translation: “Yes, at the head of the tumultuous places she calls out; yes, at the opening of the gates in the city she says her sayings”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּ⁠רֹ֥אשׁ

in/on/at/with,head

Here, head refers to the place where busy streets intersect. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “At the intersection of streets in”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

תִּ֫קְרָ֥א & אֲמָרֶ֥י⁠הָ תֹאמֵֽר

cries_out & sayings,her speaks

Here Solomon continues to speak of wisdom as if it were a woman who calls out or says her sayings. As in the previous verse, he means that wisdom is available to all people. Continue the strategy that you used in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “wisdom is available … it is available” or “it is as if wisdom calls out … it is as if wisdom says its sayings”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּ⁠פִתְחֵ֖י שְׁעָרִ֥ים בָּ⁠עִ֗יר

in/on/at/with,entrance gates in/on/at/with,city

Solomon’s readers would have understood that the the opening of the gates in the city was a crowded place where many people gathered. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “at the opening of the gates in the city, where many people gather,”

Note 5 topic: writing-poetry

אֲמָרֶ֥י⁠הָ תֹאמֵֽר

sayings,her speaks

Here, says her sayings is an emphatic construction that uses a verb and its object that come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis.
