PSA 49:1 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

שִׁמְעוּ־זֹ֭את כָּל־הָֽ⁠עַמִּ֑ים הַ֝אֲזִ֗ינוּ כָּל־יֹ֥שְׁבֵי חָֽלֶד

(Some words not found in UHB: hear this(f) all/each/any/every the,peoples give_ear all/each/any/every inhabitants_of world )

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Another approach would be to connect the phrases with a word that shows that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. See how you as a team have decided to translate the parallel phrases in the Psalms, and do that here and throughout this psalm. Alternate translation: [Listen carefully to me, all of you people who live in the world] or [Hear this, all peoples! Yes, listen, everyone who lives in the world]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

שִׁמְעוּ & הַ֝אֲזִ֗ינוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: hear this(f) all/each/any/every the,peoples give_ear all/each/any/every inhabitants_of world )

The implied “you” in these imperatives is plural because the psalmist is addressing many people. So use plural forms in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
