PRO 6:30 Parallel Verse View

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: writing-pronouns

לֹא־יָב֣וּזוּ

not despise

They here refers to people in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “People”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

לַ֭⁠גַּנָּב & יִגְנ֑וֹב &נַ֝פְשׁ֗⁠וֹ & יִרְעָֽב

to_the,thief & steals (Some words not found in UHB: not despise to_the,thief that/for/because/then/when steals to,satisfy appetite,his that/for/because/then/when hungry )

Here, the thief, he, and his do not refer to a specific thief, but any person who steals. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “thieves … they steal … their appetites … they are hungry”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

יִגְנ֑וֹב

steals

Solomon is leaving out a word that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply this word from the context, as in the UST.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

נַ֝פְשׁ֗⁠וֹ

appetite,his

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of appetite, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “his desire for food”
