PSA 44:23 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.

Note: Automatic aligning of the OET-RV to the LV is done by some temporary software, hence the OET-RV alignments are incomplete (and may occasionally be wrong).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ע֤וּרָ⁠ה ׀ לָ֖⁠מָּה תִישַׁ֥ן ׀ אֲדֹנָ֑⁠י הָ֝קִ֗יצָ⁠ה

awake, (Some words not found in UHB: awake, to/for=what sleep my=master awake, not reject to,perpetuity )

The psalmist is using the question form as a rebuke. 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: [Awake! You should not be sleeping, Lord! Wake up!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ע֤וּרָ⁠ה ׀ לָ֖⁠מָּה תִישַׁ֥ן ׀ אֲדֹנָ֑⁠י הָ֝קִ֗יצָ⁠ה

awake, (Some words not found in UHB: awake, to/for=what sleep my=master awake, not reject to,perpetuity )

The psalmist is speaking as if God were actually sleeping and therefore unaware of or unconcerned about the Judeans’ situation. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Take action! You should not do nothing while we are in such danger! Help us!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

אַל־תִּזְנַ֥ח

not (Some words not found in UHB: awake, to/for=what sleep my=master awake, not reject to,perpetuity )

This is an imperative, but it communicates a request rather than a command. (By contrast, the imperatives Awake and Wake up are urgent summonses rather than requests.) Use a form in your language that communicates a request. Alternate translation: [Please do not reject us]
