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.

31.3 Tacui. AUG. Qui non vult confiteri peccata, laborat sine causa in defensione peccatorum: in quo cum et jactet merita, amplius deficit fortitudo. CASS. Beatus cui non imputavit. Aliis, qui gravia habent, Deus imputat; aliis per misericordiam non imputat, etsi habent aliqua, his scilicet qui non justos se prædicant, cum sint mali, sed se agnoscentes satisfaciunt, modo hoc profiteor, sed olim: Quoniam tacui, etc. AUG. Vel, tacui, voce peccatum, dum clamarem tota die: dum pœna peccati, vel interior excæcatio ostenderet me peccatorem, vel dum prava vita me tacente clamaret, si quid boni egi. Dum clamarem tota die, etc. Etsi non sit sibi conscius quis, non tamen justus: quia delicta quis intelligit? Unde: Est justus qui perit in justitia sua. Et Apostolus: Nihil mihi conscius sum, etc.


31.3 I_was_silent. AUG. Who not/no wants to_confess sins, works without cause in/into/on defence of_sins/sinners: in/into/on where when/with and may_cast merits, more deficit strength. CASS. Blessed to_whom not/no imputed/transferred_over. To_others, who/which heavy_(things) they_have, God imputes; to_others through mercy not/no imputes, even_though they_have some, his namely who/which not/no just himself they_preach, when/with let_them_be evil, but himself acknowledging they_satisfy, just/only this I_declare, but formerly/once: Since I_was_silent, etc. AUG. Or, I_was_silent, voice sin/transgression, while I_would_cry the_whole day: while punishment of_sin, or interior blinding would_show me a_sinner, or while wicked life me silently would_shout, when/but_if what good I_acted. While I_would_cry the_whole day, etc. Although not/no be to_himself conscious who/any, not/no nevertheless just: because offences who/any understands? From_where/who: It_is just who/which perishes in/into/on justice his_own. And Apostle: Nothing to_me conscious I_am, etc.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כִּֽי־הֶ֭חֱרַשְׁתִּי

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when kept_silent wasted_away bones_of,my in,my_cry_of,of_distress all/each/any/every the=day )

By kept silent, David means that he did not confess his sin to God. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [When I kept silent about my sin]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בָּל֣וּ עֲצָמָ֑⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when kept_silent wasted_away bones_of,my in,my_cry_of,of_distress all/each/any/every the=day )

Here David is speaking as if his bones were actually deteriorating. He means that his body was becoming weak, and he felt as if he was ill. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [my vitality was depleted]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

בְּ֝⁠שַׁאֲגָתִ֗⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when kept_silent wasted_away bones_of,my in,my_cry_of,of_distress all/each/any/every the=day )

The word translated as through indicates that what follows is a result of what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a result of what came before. Alternate translation: [which caused me to scream]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

בְּ֝⁠שַׁאֲגָתִ֗⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when kept_silent wasted_away bones_of,my in,my_cry_of,of_distress all/each/any/every the=day )

David says through my screaming as an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [through my groaning]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

כָּל־הַ⁠יּֽוֹם

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when kept_silent wasted_away bones_of,my in,my_cry_of,of_distress all/each/any/every the=day )

David is using all of the day as a common expression of his culture to mean “continually.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [continually]
