Parallel PSA 79:3

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

דָמָ֨⁠ם

blood_of,their

Here, their blood represents their violent death. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the blood of those they killed]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כַּ⁠מַּ֗יִם

(Some words not found in UHB: poured_out blood_of,their like,water all_around_of Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) and,there_[was]_not bury )

The point of this comparison is that just as water flows freely and abundantly, so the blood of the slain was shed in great quantity. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [as freely as water is poured out]

Note 3 topic: writing-background

וְ⁠אֵ֣ין קוֹבֵֽר

and,there_[was]_not bury

Asaph is providing background information to help readers understand the situation. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.
