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 / 123person

הִכָּ֣ה עַבְדֶּ֑⁠ךָ

killed servant_of,your

David is speaking about himself humbly in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [I, your servant, have struck]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הִכָּ֣ה

killed

Here the context shows that the term struck means “killed,” as it often does elsewhere in the book. Alternate translation: [has killed]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

גַּ֧ם אֶֽת־הָ⁠אֲרִ֛י גַּם־הַ⁠דּ֖וֹב

also/yet DOM the,lion also/yet the,bear

David is not referring to specific animals. He means such animals in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: [both lions and bears]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וְֽ֠⁠הָיָה הַ⁠פְּלִשְׁתִּ֨י הֶ⁠עָרֵ֤ל הַ⁠זֶּה֙ כְּ⁠אַחַ֣ד מֵ⁠הֶ֔ם כִּ֣י חֵרֵ֔ף מַעַרְכֹ֖ת אֱלֹהִ֥ים חַיִּֽים

and=it_was the,Philistine the,uncircumcised the=this like=one from=them that/for/because/then/when defied armies_of ʼElohīm life(pl)

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [and since this uncircumcised Philistine has taunted the armies of the living God, he will be like one of them]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ⁠פְּלִשְׁתִּ֨י הֶ⁠עָרֵ֤ל הַ⁠זֶּה֙

the,Philistine the,uncircumcised the=this

See how you translated this expression in [14:6](../14/06.md). Alternate translation: [this heathen Philistine]
