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 / idiom

הַ⁠חִצִּ֖ים מִמְּ⁠ךָ֣ וָ⁠הָ֑לְאָה

the,arrows from,you and,beyond

Jonathan is using a common expression of his culture to mean that the arrows are farther ahead of where the boy is standing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [keep going, the arrows are farther ahead of you]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

לֵ֕ךְ כִּ֥י שִֽׁלַּחֲ⁠ךָ֖ יְהוָֽה

go that/for/because/then/when sent_~_away,you YHWH

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: [since Yahweh has sent you away, go]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

שִֽׁלַּחֲ⁠ךָ֖ יְהוָֽה

sent_~_away,you YHWH

Jonathan means that under these circumstances, Yahweh would be sending David away for his own safety. He is not saying that Yahweh does not want David to be at the royal court. Saul, through his own jealousy and suspicion, is responsible for making it unsafe for David to be there. Alternate translation: [Yahweh has sent you away for your own safety]
