PSA 31:20 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily 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 / parallelism

תַּסְתִּירֵ֤⁠ם ׀ בְּ⁠סֵ֥תֶר פָּנֶי⁠ךָ֮ מֵֽ⁠רֻכְסֵ֫י אִ֥ישׁ תִּצְפְּנֵ֥⁠ם בְּ⁠סֻכָּ֗ה מֵ⁠רִ֥יב לְשֹׁנֽוֹת

(Some words not found in UHB: you,hide_them in,the_hiding_place_of your(pl)_presence_of,your from_[the],conspiracies_of (a)_man you,hide_them in,a_shelter from,strife_of tongues )

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and you may want to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation. If it is helpful, you could connect the phrases in a way that shows that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [You hide them in the safety of your presence, protecting them from those who plot against them and from cruel words]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Some words not found in UHB: you,hide_them in,the_hiding_place_of your(pl)_presence_of,your from_[the],conspiracies_of (a)_man you,hide_them in,a_shelter from,strife_of tongues )

Here David is speaking of the hiding-place of your presence as if it were a physical shelter where Yahweh could hide people from danger. David means that Yahweh protects people by his divine presence and power. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [You protect them by your presence from the plots of man]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

אִ֥ישׁ

(a)_man

David is not referring to a specific man. He means people in general. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language as in the UST.

Here David is speaking of God’s protection and help as if it were a physical shelter in which God would hide righteous people from the accusatory words of evil people. If this image communicates well in your language, please use it. If not, you could express this as a comparison. Alternate translation: [you protect them from people who attack with their words as if you were hiding them in a shelter]
