PSA 69:18 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 / metonymy

נַפְשִׁ֣⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: draw,near to/towards self_of,my redeem,it because_of enemies_of,my ransom,me )

David is using the term my soul to mean the entire person from the perspective of his spiritual and emotional existence. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [my life]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

גְאָלָ֑⁠הּ לְמַ֖עַן אֹיְבַ֣⁠י פְּדֵֽ⁠נִי

redeem,it because_of enemies_of,my (Some words not found in UHB: draw,near to/towards self_of,my redeem,it because_of enemies_of,my ransom,me )

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [ransom me, because of my enemies]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

קָרְבָ֣⁠ה אֶל־נַפְשִׁ֣⁠י גְאָלָ֑⁠הּ & פְּדֵֽ⁠נִי

draw,near to/towards (Some words not found in UHB: draw,near to/towards self_of,my redeem,it because_of enemies_of,my ransom,me )

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. If the imperative does not communicate a polite request for your readers, then use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [Please draw near to my soul, redeem it … please ransom me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

גְאָלָ֑⁠הּ & פְּדֵֽ⁠נִי

redeem,it & (Some words not found in UHB: draw,near to/towards self_of,my redeem,it because_of enemies_of,my ransom,me )

The terms redeem and ransom mean similar things. David is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [deliver it … deliver me]
