1 SAM 24:15 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted 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: writing-poetry

וְ⁠יָרֵ֣ב אֶת־רִיבִ֔⁠י

and,may_he_conduct DOM case_of,my

For emphasis, David is using a construction in which a verb (translated as conduct) and its object (translated as case) come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, since this is a legal expression, there may be a comparable one in your language that you can use. Alternate translation: [and defend me]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠יִשְׁפְּטֵ֖⁠נִי מִ⁠יָּדֶֽ⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_was YHWH (into)_a,judge and,he_will_judge between,me and,between,you and,may_he_see and,may_he_conduct DOM case_of,my and,may,he_vindicate_me from=your(ms)=hand )

David is using the term hand to represent power and control. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and may he judge that I should not be in your power]
