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 / gendernotations

אִ֭ישׁ & רֵעֵ֑⁠הוּ

(a)_man & his/its=neighbour

Although the terms man and his are masculine, Solomon is using these words in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use phrases that make this clear. Alternate translation: “is a person … that person’s neighbor”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

וְ֝⁠אָמַ֗ר הֲֽ⁠לֹא־מְשַׂחֵ֥ק אָֽנִי

and=saying(ms) ?,not joking I

Here, a man who deceives is using this question to emphasize that he was joking. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “and says, ‘Just kidding!’”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

וְ֝⁠אָמַ֗ר הֲֽ⁠לֹא־מְשַׂחֵ֥ק אָֽנִי

and=saying(ms) ?,not joking I

If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “and say that you were joking”
