Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

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

לַ֭יִשׁ & וְ⁠לֹא־יָ֝שׁ֗וּב

lion & and=not turn_back

Here, a lion and it refer to lions in general, not a specific lion. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “any lion … and that lion will not turn away”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

גִּבּ֣וֹר בַּ⁠בְּהֵמָ֑ה

mighty in/on/at/with,beasts

Here, mighty among the animals refers to being the mightiest animal among them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “the mightiest animal”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠לֹא־יָ֝שׁ֗וּב מִ⁠פְּנֵי

and=not turn_back from=face/in_front_of

Here, turn away from the face means “does not run away from” because one would have to turn one’s face away from the face of someone in order to run away from that person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and it will not run away from”
