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 / hendiadys

וַ⁠יַּ֨עַן֙ יְה֣וֹנָתָ֔ן אֶת־שָׁא֖וּל אָבִ֑י⁠ו וַ⁠יֹּ֧אמֶר אֵלָ֛י⁠ו

and,answered Yōnātān/(Yəhōnātān/(Jonathan)) DOM Shāʼūl/(Saul) his/its=father and=he/it_said to=him/it

This expression conveys a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word answered tells in what way Jonathan said this. Alternate translation: [And Jonathan responded to Saul his father]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

לָ֥⁠מָּה יוּמַ֖ת מֶ֥ה עָשָֽׂה

to/for=what put_to_death what? he/it_had_made

Jonathan is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [He should not be killed! He has done nothing to deserve that!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

לָ֥⁠מָּה יוּמַ֖ת

to/for=what put_to_death

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Why should you kill him?] or [You should not kill him!]
