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 / metonymy

לְ⁠פָנֶ֑י⁠ךָ

to=your=face

The young women are speaking of Saul’s face by association to mean what is in front of him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [he is just ahead of you]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

מַהֵ֣ר ׀ עַתָּ֗ה כִּ֤י הַ⁠יּוֹם֙ בָּ֣א לָ⁠עִ֔יר כִּ֣י זֶ֧בַח הַ⁠יּ֛וֹם לָ⁠עָ֖ם בַּ⁠בָּמָֽה

hurry now that/for/because/then/when the=day he/it_came to_the,town that/for/because/then/when sacrifice_of the=day have_the,people in/on/at/with,high_place

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 the sacrifice of the day is to the people at the high place, he has come to the city today, so you should hurry now]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

זֶ֧בַח הַ⁠יּ֛וֹם לָ⁠עָ֖ם

sacrifice_of the=day have_the,people

The young women are using this possessive form not to describe a daily sacrifice but to describe a special sacrifice that Samuel was going to offer on that day. Alternate translation: [there is going to be a special sacrifice today for the people]
