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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

אַ֗ף כִּ֡י לוּא֩ אָכֹ֨ל אָכַ֤ל הַ⁠יּוֹם֙ הָ⁠עָ֔ם מִ⁠שְּׁלַ֥ל

also/though that/for/because/then/when if to_eat he_ate the=day the,troops of,plunder_of

Jonathan 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: [How much more would all of us have remained strong if eating, the people had eaten today from the plunder]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

אָכֹ֨ל אָכַ֤ל & הָ⁠עָ֔ם

to_eat he_ate & the,troops

Jonathan is repeating forms of the verb “eat” to intensify the expression of his wish that the people had eaten. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [the people had surely eaten]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

כִּ֥י

that/for/because/then/when

Jonathan is using the word translated For to indicate a contrast between what could have happened and what actually happened. Alternate translation: [But instead] or [By contrast]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מַכָּ֖ה בַּ⁠פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים

slaughter in/on/at/with,Philistines

See how you translated the term striking in [4:10](../04/10.md). Alternate translation: [the slaughter among the Philistines]
