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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
אָדָ֣ם & לֹ֖א גְמָלְךָ֣
humankind & not done,you
Here, man and he represent a person in general, not one particular man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “a person … that person has not done you”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
חִנָּ֑ם אִם־לֹ֖א גְמָלְךָ֣ רָעָֽה
without_cause if not done,you harm
This clause gives the reason why the contention mentioned in the beginning of the sentence would be without cause. If it would be helpful in your language, you could change the sentence structure to show this explicitly. Alternate translation: “who has not done you evil when there is no reason to argue”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
רָעָֽה
harm
See how you translated the abstract noun evil in 1:16.
