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 / explicit

גֹאֲלָ֥⁠ם

redeemer,their

Here, their redeemer refers to Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “their redeemer, Yahweh,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הֽוּא־יָרִ֖יב אֶת־רִיבָ֣⁠ם אִתָּֽ⁠ךְ

he/it plead DOM cause,their against,you

Here, the writer refers to Yahweh protecting “the fatherless ones” as if he were a lawyer who defends them in a legal dispute. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he himself will defend the orphans against you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

הֽוּא־יָרִ֖יב

he/it plead

The writer uses the word himself to emphasize how significant it was that Yahweh defends the defenseless. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this significance. Alternate translation: “he indeed will plead”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

רִיבָ֣⁠ם

cause,their

See how you translated the abstract noun dispute in 15:18.
