Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished 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 / rquestion

לָֽ⁠מָּה־פָנֶ֥י⁠ךָ תַסְתִּ֑יר תִּשְׁכַּ֖ח עָנְיֵ֣⁠נוּ וְֽ⁠לַחֲצֵֽ⁠נוּ

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

The author is using the question form to challenge Yahweh. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “Surely you hide your face, and forget our affliction and oppression!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לָֽ⁠מָּה־פָנֶ֥י⁠ךָ תַסְתִּ֑יר

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

The author is using the phrase you have hidden your face to mean that he is not favoring his people. Yahweh does not have a face. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Why have you have hidden your favor” or “Why are you are not favoring us”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

תִּשְׁכַּ֖ח

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

The author is using the term forget to mean ignore. God does not forget anything in the way that people forget things, but to the author, it seems that he has forgotten. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and ignore”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

עָנְיֵ֣⁠נוּ וְֽ⁠לַחֲצֵֽ⁠נוּ

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

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the ideas of affliction and oppression, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “that people afflict and oppress us”
