PSA 82:6 Parallel Verse View

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.

Text critical issues=none Clarity of original=clear Importance to us=vital Speaker(s)=Asaf (All still tentative.)

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

אֲֽנִי־אָ֭מַרְתִּי אֱלֹהִ֣ים אַתֶּ֑ם

I (Some words not found in UHB: I said ʼElohīm you(pl) and=the_sons most_high of_you_of,all )

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. In that case, you could express what God said as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: [I said that you are gods]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

אֲֽנִי־אָ֭מַרְתִּי

I (Some words not found in UHB: I said ʼElohīm you(pl) and=the_sons most_high of_you_of,all )

Asaph is stating the pronoun I separately, even though the verb translated as I said already includes this meaning. He is doing that to emphasize that Yahweh is the one speaking. If a speaker of your language would use an explicit pronoun for the same purpose, you may want to use that construction in your translation. If not, your language may have other ways of showing the meaning here. Alternate translation: [I myself said]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֱלֹהִ֣ים

ʼElohīm

See the discussion of the term “gods” in the introduction to this psalm.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠בְנֵ֖י עֶלְי֣וֹן

and=the_sons most_high

Asaph is speaking of these judges as if they were sons of the Most High, that is, as if they belonged to God’s family. He means that God had given them a share in his authority. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and those who share the authority of the Most High]
