Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

BrLXX Ἰδοὺ ἐγώ, ἀποκρίθητε κατʼ ἐμοῦ ἐνώπιον Κυρίου καὶ ἐνώπιον χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ· μόσχον τίνος εἴληφα, ἢ ὄνον τίνος εἴληφα, ἢ τίνα κατεδυνάστευσα ὑμῶν, ἢ τίνα ἐξεπίεσα, ἢ ἐκ χειρὸς τίνος εἴληφα ἐξίλασμα καὶ ὑπόδημα; ἀποκρίθητε κατʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἀποδώσω ὑμῖν.

Note 1 topic: writing-politeness
הִנְנִ֣י
here,I
See how you translated this same expression in [3:4](../03/04.md). This was a courteous expression that a person in this culture would use to indicate his availability for a task. In this case, Samuel is indicating that he is available to answer any charges against his conduct as a judge. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: [I am making myself available]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
מְשִׁיח֗וֹ
anointed_of,his
Samuel is using the adjective anointed as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [his anointed king]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וּמִיַּד־מִי֙ לָקַ֣חְתִּי כֹ֔פֶר
and,from,hand_of who? taken bribe
Samuel is using one part of a person, his hand, to mean all of him in the act of giving a bribe. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [or from whom have I taken a bribe]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְאַעְלִ֥ים עֵינַ֖י בּ֑וֹ
and,blind eyes_of,my in/on/over=him/it
Samuel is speaking as if a bribe were something with which he could have veiled his eyes. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and I ignored wrongdoing as a result]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְאָשִׁ֖יב לָכֶֽם
and,restore to,you_all
The author 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: [Tell me, and I will restore it to you]
