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 / quotesinquotes

וְ⁠עַתָּ֣ה שָׁמַ֔עְתִּי כִּ֥י גֹזְזִ֖ים לָ֑⁠ךְ

and=now I_heard that/for/because/then/when shearers to/for=you(fs)

If you decided to translate David’s instructions so that there would not be a quotation within a quotation, you can continue to do that here. (The rest of this verse would not need to be changed.) Alternate translation: [And now, he says he has heard that shearers are to you]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

עִמָּ֔⁠נוּ לֹ֣א הֶכְלַמְנ֗וּ⁠ם

with,us not did_~_harm,them

David is instructing his messengers to use the pronouns us and we to refer to him and his men but not to Nabal, so use the exclusive form of those words if your language marks that distinction.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠עַתָּ֣ה

and=now

And now was a common expression that speakers in this culture used to introduce their main topic. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. See how you translated this expression in [6:7](../06/07.md). Alternate translation: [Now please let me make a small request]

Note 4 topic: writing-background

עַתָּ֗ה הָ⁠רֹעִ֤ים אֲשֶׁר־לְ⁠ךָ֙ הָי֣וּ עִמָּ֔⁠נוּ

now the,shepherds which/who to/for=yourself(m) they_were with,us

David is providing background information to support his request for food from the sheep-shearing feast that Nabal is hosting. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠לֹֽא־נִפְקַ֤ד לָ⁠הֶם֙ מְא֔וּמָה

and=not missed to/for=them anything

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: [and we have not taken anything that belonged to them]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

כָּל־יְמֵ֖י

all/each/any/every days_of

David is using the term days by association to mean time, since time is made up of days. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [all of the time of]
