PSA 87:6 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

בִּ⁠כְת֣וֹב עַמִּ֑ים

(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH record when,records peoples this he/it_was_born there selah )

The psalmist is using this possessive form to mean a record that documents the peoples. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the record that lists the peoples]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בִּ⁠כְת֣וֹב

(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH record when,records peoples this he/it_was_born there selah )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of writing, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [what is written about]

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

זֶ֖ה יֻלַּד־שָׁ֣ם

this (Some words not found in UHB: YHWH record when,records peoples this he/it_was_born there selah )

This is a quotation that Yahweh will record about each person from the nations. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this with a natural way of introducing direct quotations in your language.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יֻלַּד

(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH record when,records peoples this he/it_was_born there selah )

The expression was born is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [began life]
