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 / abstractnouns

מִ⁠שְּׂפַת־שֶׁ֑קֶר & מִ⁠לָּשׁ֥וֹן רְמִיָּֽה & לָשׁ֥וֹן רְמִיָּֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: what? given to/for=yourself(m) and,what more_~_done to/for=you(fs) tongue deceitful )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the words falsehood and deceit, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “false lips … deceitful tongue … deceitful tongue”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מַה־יִּתֵּ֣ן לְ֭⁠ךָ וּ⁠מַה־יֹּסִ֥יף לָ֗⁠ךְ לָשׁ֥וֹן רְמִיָּֽה

what? given to/for=yourself(m) and,what more_~_done to/for=you(fs) tongue deceitful

The author is using the question form to challenge his enemies. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “He will certainly give something to you, and he will surely add something to you, tongue of deceit!”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מַה־יִּתֵּ֣ן לְ֭⁠ךָ וּ⁠מַה־יֹּסִ֥יף לָ֗⁠ךְ

what? given to/for=yourself(m) and,what more_~_done to/for=you(fs)

Here, the words give and add are referring to when Yahweh would punish a person. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express that explicitly. Alternate translation: “What will he give to you in order to punish you, and what will he add to you in order to punish you”

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

יִּתֵּ֣ן & יֹּסִ֥יף

given & more_~_done

The pronoun he refers to Yahweh. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “Yahweh will give … Yahweh will add”
