PSA 90:8 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 / parallelism

שַׁתָּ֣ה עֲוֺנֹתֵ֣י⁠נוּ לְ⁠נֶגְדֶּ֑⁠ךָ עֲ֝לֻמֵ֗⁠נוּ לִ⁠מְא֥וֹר פָּנֶֽי⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: set iniquities_of,our to,before,you our_concealed_of,[sins] to,the_light_of your(pl)_face_of,your )

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [You have studied our iniquities, yes, you have carefully examined our hidden sin]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שַׁתָּ֣ה עֲוֺנֹתֵ֣י⁠נוּ לְ⁠נֶגְדֶּ֑⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: set iniquities_of,our to,before,you our_concealed_of,[sins] to,the_light_of your(pl)_face_of,your )

Moses is speaking as if God had actually set the iniquities of the Israelites in front of him where he could see them. The idea is that God is paying attention to the wrong things that the Israelites have done, and God is punishing them for doing those things, as the previous verse indicates. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [You examine our iniquities]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

עֲ֝לֻמֵ֗⁠נוּ לִ⁠מְא֥וֹר פָּנֶֽי⁠ךָ

our_concealed_of,[sins] to,the_light_of (Some words not found in UHB: set iniquities_of,our to,before,you our_concealed_of,[sins] to,the_light_of your(pl)_face_of,your )

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 clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [yes, you have set our hidden sin in the light of your face]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

עֲ֝לֻמֵ֗⁠נוּ

our_concealed_of,[sins]

The term hidden is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: [our sin that we have hidden]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לִ⁠מְא֥וֹר פָּנֶֽי⁠ךָ

to,the_light_of (Some words not found in UHB: set iniquities_of,our to,before,you our_concealed_of,[sins] to,the_light_of your(pl)_face_of,your )

Moses is speaking as if there were actually light shining from God’s face that allowed him to see clearly what was in front of him. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [where you can clearly see it]
