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.

80.8 In tribulatione, etc. CASS. Sic Propheta: Divertit Dominus dicens, In tribulatione, imputantur eis beneficia Dei, ut gravior æstimetur offensa. Exaudivi te in abscondito. AUG. Ut corde credas ad justitiam. Probavi, ut ore fiat confessio ad salutem. Tempestatis, etc. Non in tempestate maris, sed cordis: ubi exauditus debet probari, in aqua contradictionis: jam enim gradiens viam Dei, habet multis modis obsistentes. Hæc est aqua contradictionis, quam senserunt antiqui, sed jam pene siccata est: tunc enim aquæ populorum turbabantur, et acriter resistebant. Tunc Samsoni forti viro, id est Christo, ducere eunti uxorem de alienigenis, id est Ecclesiam de gentibus, occurrit leo fremens, id est populus gentium, sed dissipavit eum, ut hædum caprarum: et quia populus iste fremens nihil erat, nisi languidus peccator. Occisa autem in eo illa feritate, jam non sic fremit, imo jam in ipso invenimus leges pro Ecclesia, quasi favum in ore leonis. Aqua contradictionis. Christus fuit etiam in seipso, ut de eo nato dictum est: Erit hic in ruinam, et resurrectionem multorum, in signum cui contradicetur Luc. 2., ut Judæi contradixerunt titulo crucis


80.8 In tribulation, etc. CASS. So Prophet: It_entertains Master saying, In tribulation, they_are_imputed to_them benefits of_God, as heavier may_be_estimated offended. I_heard you(sg) in/into/on secretly. AUG. As heart you_may_believe to justice. I_proved, as vocally let_it_be confession to health. Storm, etc. Not/No in/into/on in_the_storm of_the_sea, but of_the_heart: where heard must to_be_proven, in/into/on water contradiction: already because walking way/road of_God, has many in_ways opposing. These it_is water contradiction, how they_felt ancient, but already almost/nearly dried it_is: then because water of_the_peoples they_were_disturbed, and sharply they_were_resisting. Then Samson brave to_the_man, that it_is to_Christ/Messiah, to_lead going wife from/about foreigners, that it_is assembly/church from/about nations, meets lion roaring, that it_is the_people of_Gentile_nations, but dissipated him, as kid goats: and because the_people this roaring nothing was, except faint sinner. Killed however in/into/on by_him that wildness, already not/no so roars, rather already in/into/on himself we_found laws for Assembly/Church, as_if honeycomb in/into/on vocally lion’s. Aqua contradiction. Christ/Messiah it_was also in/into/on to_himself, as from/about by_him born said it_is: Will_be this/here in/into/on ruin, and resurrection of_many, in/into/on sign/signal to_whom will_be_contradicted Luke. 2., as Jews they_contradicted title cross/frame

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בַּ⁠צָּרָ֥ה

(Some words not found in UHB: in,trouble called and,I,rescued_you I,answered_you in_[the],hiding_place_of thunder I,tested_you on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in waters_of Mərīⱱāh selah )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of distress, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [When you were suffering]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּ⁠סֵ֣תֶר רַ֑עַם

(Some words not found in UHB: in,trouble called and,I,rescued_you I,answered_you in_[the],hiding_place_of thunder I,tested_you on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in waters_of Mərīⱱāh selah )

Yahweh is speaking as if he were concealed within the secret place of thunder. This represents God’s awesome and hidden presence in the storm. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [from the thunderstorm where I was hidden]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

בְּ⁠סֵ֣תֶר רַ֑עַם

(Some words not found in UHB: in,trouble called and,I,rescued_you I,answered_you in_[the],hiding_place_of thunder I,tested_you on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in waters_of Mərīⱱāh selah )

Yahweh is using this possessive form to describe a hidden place that is associated with thunder. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [from the place hidden by thunder]

Note 4 topic: translate-names
