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 / possession

חַבֻּר֣וֹת פֶּ֭צַע

blows wound

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe severe Blows that cause a wound. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “Blows that cause a wound”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

תמריק בְּ⁠רָ֑ע

cleanse_away in/on/at/with,evil

Here Solomon refers to beatings that cause a person to stop doing something evil as if the beatings were cleaning away that evil thing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “stop a person from doing evil”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְּ⁠רָ֑ע

in/on/at/with,evil

See how you translated the abstract noun evil in 1:16.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וּ֝⁠מַכּ֗וֹת חַדְרֵי־בָֽטֶן

and,beatings parts_of inmost_being

Solomon is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and strikes of the rooms of the belly cleanse away evil”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

חַדְרֵי־בָֽטֶן

parts_of inmost_being

See how you translated this phrase in 18:8.
