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: writing-poetry

רִֽ֭יבְ⁠ךָ רִ֣יב

case,your argue

Here, Dispute your dispute is an emphatic construction that uses a verb and its object that both 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.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

רִֽ֭יבְ⁠ךָ רִ֣יב

case,your argue

This is an imperative, but it communicates a hypothetical situation. Use a form in your language that communicates this, as in the UST.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠ס֖וֹד אַחֵ֣ר אַל־תְּגָֽל

and,secret next/another not disclose

See how you translated the similar phrase “uncovering a secret” in 11:13.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠ס֖וֹד אַחֵ֣ר אַל־תְּגָֽל

and,secret next/another not disclose

Here, another could refer to: (1) someone other than your neighbor, which would indicate telling someone else’s secret to win the dispute against one’s neighbor. Alternate translation: “and the secret of another person” (2) your neighbor. Alternate translation: “and the secret of that neighbor”
