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 as a tool 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.

Ps 74 The psalmist laments the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem (586 BC) with vivid imagery, questions, fresh memories, and a direct appeal for the Lord to act (74:19-23).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

יִ֭וָּדַע כְּ⁠מֵבִ֣יא לְ⁠מָ֑עְלָ⁠ה בִּֽ⁠סֲבָךְ־עֵ֝֗ץ קַרְדֻּמּֽוֹת

was like,wielding at,upper, in/on/at/with,thicket_of tree/message axes

The point of this comparison is that when the Babylonian army invaded Jerusalem and chopped up the woodwork in the Temple they resembled men using their axes to chop down trees in the forest. If it would be helpful in your language you could express this meaning in plain language. Alternate translation: “They hacked to pieces all the Temple woodwork with their axes”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יִ֭וָּדַע כְּ⁠מֵבִ֣יא לְ⁠מָ֑עְלָ⁠ה בִּֽ⁠סֲבָךְ־עֵ֝֗ץ קַרְדֻּמּֽוֹת

was like,wielding at,upper, in/on/at/with,thicket_of tree/message axes

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, the context implies that it was the author or the author and all the Jewish people who saw this event happen who did it. Alternate translation: “When we saw men hacking to pieces the woodwork in the Temple it seemed like those men were like men in the forest who chop down trees with their axes” or “When I saw men hacking to pieces the woodwork in the Temple it seemed as if those men were like men in the forest who chop down trees with their axes””
