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.

Note: Automatic aligning of the OET-RV to the LV is done by some temporary software, hence the OET-RV alignments are incomplete (and may occasionally be wrong).

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
מֶ֥ה עָשִׂ֖יתִי עָ֑תָּה הֲל֖וֹא דָּבָ֥ר הֽוּא
what? done now am=not question he/it
David is using these questions for emphasis. If speakers of your language would not use questions for that purpose, you could translate these as statements. Alternate translation: [I did not do anything wrong just now. It was only a word.]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
דָּבָ֥ר
question
David is using the term word by association to mean what he said to the other soldiers by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [a question]
