PSA 7:4 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.

Vel si modo est iniquitas in manibus, id est, operibus meis. Vel, si reddidi retribuentibus mihi mala, etc., quod dicitur æquitas apud homines, merito etsi non videatur hominibus deeidam ab inimicis meis inanis, a fructu mansuetudinis. AUG. Si feci istud, vel, universale peccatum, quod sine nomine dixit, quod est superbia, quæ est radix omnium malorum. Vel, quod sequitur, si est iniquitas, quod de omni peccato accipitur. Si reddidi. Ibid. Id est, si te non sum imitatus in justo silentio, id est, patientia, quæ pro me operatus es. Decidam merito ab inimicis. Ibid. Non jurejurando hoc sibi imprecatur, sed dicit quod contingit se vindicantibus: prophetat ergo, non jurat per exsecrationem; quod est gravissimum jurisjurandi genus. Inanis factus vana et superba lætitia, quod quasi vinci non potuit: Salomon, Melior est qui vincit iram, quam qui cepit civitatem Prov. 16..

7.4 Master, when/but_if feci istud. Ibid. Ad litteram about David, and Absalon. When/But_if feci istud, id it_is, when/but_if this evil to_me through præteritam culpam contigit. Vel when/but_if modo it_is iniquitas in manibus, id it_is, operibus meis. Vel, when/but_if reddidi retribuentibus to_me mala, etc., that it_is_said æquitas apud homines, merito etsi not/no videatur hominibus deeidam away inimicis meis inanis, from fructu mansuetudinis. AUG. When/But_if feci istud, vel, universale peccatum, that without nomine he_said, that it_is superbia, which it_is root omnium malorum. Vel, that follows, when/but_if it_is iniquitas, that about all peccato accipitur. When/But_if reddidi. Ibid. That it_is, when/but_if you(sg) not/no I_am imitatus in justo silentio, id it_is, patientia, which for me operatus es. Decidam merito away inimicis. Ibid. Non yureyurando this sibi imprecatur, but he_says that contingit se vindicantibus: prophetat therefore, not/no yurat through exsecrationem; that it_is gravissimum yurisyurandi genus. Inanis became vana and superba lætitia, that as_if vinci not/no potuit: Salomon, Melior it_is who vincit iram, how who cepit civitatem Prov. 16..

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

גָּ֭מַלְתִּי שֽׁוֹלְמִ֥⁠י רָ֑ע

(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH God_of,my if done this(f) if there_is wrong in/on/at/with,hands_of,my )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of evil, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “I have acted evilly to one who was at peace with me”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

שֽׁוֹלְמִ֥⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH God_of,my if done this(f) if there_is wrong in/on/at/with,hands_of,my )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “to my friend” or “to my peaceful neighbor”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וָ⁠אֲחַלְּצָ֖⁠ה צוֹרְרִ֣⁠י רֵיקָֽם

(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH God_of,my if done this(f) if there_is wrong in/on/at/with,hands_of,my )

This could mean: (1) being an unfaithful friend by saving a person who is the author’s and his ally’s enemy. Alternate translation: “or saved my enemy for no reason” (2) not attacking even an enemy without immediate cause (in this case the verb translated rescue could be taken as plunder). Alternate translation: “or plundered my enemy without cause” (3) not only not doing evil to friends, but even doing good to enemies. In this case the phrase would be less logically connected to the previous one. Alternate translation: “. And I even rescue one who is my enemy without reason.”
