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 / genericnoun

מֶ֤לֶךְ & כִּ֝סְא֗⁠וֹ

king & throne,his

A king and his refer to kings in general, not a specific king. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. See how you translated A king in 29:4. Alternate translation: “Any king … that king’s throne”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

דַּלִּ֑ים

poor

See how you translated the same use of lowly in 10:15.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בֶּֽ⁠אֱמֶ֣ת

in/on/at/with,fairness

See how you translated the abstract noun truth in 8:7.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

כִּ֝סְא֗⁠וֹ & יִכּֽוֹן

throne,his & established

See how you translated this phrase in 25:5.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

לָ⁠עַ֥ד

to,always

Solomon uses the phrase to perpetuity here as an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “for a very long time”
