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

בְּ֭נִ⁠י

son,my

See how you translated the same use of this phrase in 1:8.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

תּוֹרָתִ֣⁠י אַל־תִּשְׁכָּ֑ח וּ֝⁠מִצְוֺתַ֗⁠י יִצֹּ֥ר לִבֶּֽ⁠ךָ

teaching,my not forget and,commands,my keep heart,your

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “do not forget my law, yes, my commandments let your heart guard”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

אַל־תִּשְׁכָּ֑ח

not forget

Solomon is using a figure of speech here that expresses a strongly positive meaning by using a negative word, not, together with an expression that is the opposite of the intended meaning. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning positively, as in the UST.

Note 4 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

תּוֹרָתִ֣⁠י

teaching,my

Here, the word law is singular in form, but it refers to several laws as a group. See how you translated this use of law in 1:8.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וּ֝⁠מִצְוֺתַ֗⁠י

and,commands,my

See how you translated the abstract noun commandments in 2:1.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יִצֹּ֥ר לִבֶּֽ⁠ךָ

keep heart,your

See how you translated the same use of heart in 2:2.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

יִצֹּ֥ר לִבֶּֽ⁠ךָ

keep heart,your

Here Solomon speaks of a person’s heart as if it were a person who could guard something, and he speaks of commandments as if they were things that could be guarded. He means that he wants his son to remember these commandments in order to obey them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “remember to obey”
