PSA 41:5 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.

Text critical issues=none Clarity of original=clear Importance to us=normal Speaker(s)=Narrator (All still tentative.)

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

רַ֣ע

evil

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of evil, you could express the same idea in another way. See how you translated the similar expression in [verse 1](../041/001.md). Alternate translation: [harmful things]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מָתַ֥י יָ֝מ֗וּת וְ⁠אָבַ֥ד שְׁמֽ⁠וֹ

when(q) die and,will_it_perish? (Some words not found in UHB: enemies_of,my speak evil to=me when(q) die and,will_it_perish? his/its=name )

David’s enemies are using the question form to express their hostile wish that David would die. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [We wish he would die and his name would perish!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠אָבַ֥ד שְׁמֽ⁠וֹ

and,will_it_perish? (Some words not found in UHB: enemies_of,my speak evil to=me when(q) die and,will_it_perish? his/its=name )

Here, his name represents “his memory” or “his reputation.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and the memory of him will perish]
