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. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted 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 / doublet

חֻקָּ֥י⁠ו וּ֝⁠מִשְׁפָּטָ֗י⁠ו

(Some words not found in UHB: declares words_of,his to,Jacob decrees_of,his and,judgments_of,his to,Israel )

The terms statutes and judgments mean similar things. The psalmist is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [all his laws]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

מַגִּ֣יד דבר⁠ו לְ⁠יַעֲקֹ֑ב חֻקָּ֥י⁠ו וּ֝⁠מִשְׁפָּטָ֗י⁠ו לְ⁠יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

(Some words not found in UHB: declares words_of,his to,Jacob decrees_of,his and,judgments_of,his to,Israel )

The psalmist is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. A resulting parallelism is modeled in the UST. Alternate translation: [He declared his word to Jacob; indeed, he declared his statutes and judgments to Israel]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

חֻקָּ֥י⁠ו

(Some words not found in UHB: declares words_of,his to,Jacob decrees_of,his and,judgments_of,his to,Israel )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of statutes, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the rules he has set]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וּ֝⁠מִשְׁפָּטָ֗י⁠ו

(Some words not found in UHB: declares words_of,his to,Jacob decrees_of,his and,judgments_of,his to,Israel )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of judgments, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the decisions he has judged]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠יַעֲקֹ֑ב & לְ⁠יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

to,Jacob & (Some words not found in UHB: declares words_of,his to,Jacob decrees_of,his and,judgments_of,his to,Israel )

Here, Jacob and Israel represent the descendants of Jacob, who was also called Israel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to Jacob’s descendants] or [to the people of Israel]
