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.

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

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

אִם

Here, if indicates that Solomon is using a hypothetical situation to teach his son. This verse and the next verse are one long, conditional sentence. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a situation that could happen. Alternate translation: “suppose”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אִם־עָרַ֣בְתָּ לְ⁠רֵעֶ֑⁠ךָ

if put_up_security for,neighbor,your

Here Solomon implies that the pledge is a promise to pay back a loan of money for your neighbor if he is unable to pay back the loan himself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “if you promise to pay back the loan for your neighbor when he is unable to pay it”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

תָּקַ֖עְתָּ לַ⁠זָּ֣ר כַּפֶּֽי⁠ךָ

bound for_the,stranger hands,yourself

Solomon is leaving out a word that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply the word from the previous clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “if you clasp your palms for a stranger”

Note 5 topic: translate-symaction

תָּקַ֖עְתָּ & כַּפֶּֽי⁠ךָ

bound & hands,yourself

The function of this action in this culture was to confirm a contractual agreement with someone. If there is a gesture with similar meaning in your culture, you could consider using it here in your translation, or you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you shake hands to confirm an agreement” or “you confirm an agreement”
