1 SAM 8:5 Parallel Verse View

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 / metaphor

הִנֵּה֙

see/lo/see!

See how you translated this term in [2:31](../02/31.md).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠בָנֶ֕י⁠ךָ לֹ֥א הָלְכ֖וּ בִּ⁠דְרָכֶ֑י⁠ךָ

and,sons_of,your not walk in/on/at/with,ways_of,your

See how you translated the similar expression in [8:3](../08/03.md). Alternate translation: [and your sons do not live the way you have lived]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

לְ⁠שָׁפְטֵ֖⁠נוּ

to,judge,us

By us, the Israelite elders mean themselves but perhaps not Samuel, since they are speaking of what they want the situation to be for themselves after he dies. So it may be appropriate to use the exclusive form of “us” in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
