PSA 7:3 Parallel Verse View

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 / metaphor

אִֽם־יֶשׁ־עָ֥וֶל בְּ⁠כַפָּֽ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: lest tear like,lion soul_of,my drag_~_away and,no rescue )

Here the author is speaking of wrong as if it was something that could be held in someone's hands. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “if I have done something wrong with my hands” or “if I have treated someone wrongly”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

אִֽם־יֶשׁ־עָ֥וֶל בְּ⁠כַפָּֽ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: lest tear like,lion soul_of,my drag_~_away and,no rescue )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wrong, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “if I have wronged someone”
