PSA 90:13 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—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 / imperative

שׁוּבָ֣⁠ה יְ֭הוָה

return, YHWH

Moses is using an emphatic imperative form here. It may be appropriate in your culture for someone to address God using an emphatic imperative, and your language may have such a form that you can use in your translation. But if people in your culture would not consider it appropriate for someone to address God in this way, you could translate this as a request rather than as a command. Alternate translation: [Please return, Yahweh.]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שׁוּבָ֣⁠ה יְ֭הוָה

return, YHWH

This could mean: (1) that Moses wants Yahweh to stop being angry and stop punishing the Israelites. He would be speaking as if Yahweh’s anger were literally a place from which he could Return. Alternate translation: [Stop being angry, Yahweh!] (2) that Moses wants Yahweh to abide peacefully among his people, protecting them and blessing them. This would be an allusion to the prayer that Moses always prayed in the wilderness when the cloud of Yahweh stopped moving and the Israelites made camp, as recorded in [Numbers 10:36](../../num/10/36.md), “Return, Yahweh, to the multitudes of the thousands of Israel.” Alternate translation: [Dwell peacefully among us, Yahweh.]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

עַד־מָתָ֑י

until when?

Moses is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be helpful in your language. Alternate translation: [Until when will you continue to be angry with us] or [For how long will you continue to be angry with us]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

עַד־מָתָ֑י

until when?

Moses is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [I hope that your anger will not last long.]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

וְ֝⁠הִנָּחֵ֗ם עַל־עֲבָדֶֽי⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: return, YHWH until when? and,have_compassion on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in servants_of,your )

Moses is speaking of himself and his fellow Israelites in the third person as your servants to show humility. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in a humble form in the first person. Alternate translation: [us, your servants]
