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: grammar-connect-logic-result

כְּ⁠בֹאֲ⁠כֶ֣ם הָ⁠עִ֣יר כֵּ֣ן תִּמְצְא֣וּ⁠ן אֹת֡⁠וֹ בְּ⁠טֶרֶם֩ יַעֲלֶ֨ה הַ⁠בָּמָ֜תָ⁠ה לֶ⁠אֱכֹ֗ל & לֹֽא־יֹאכַ֤ל הָ⁠עָם֙ עַד־בֹּא֔⁠וֹ כִּֽי־הוּא֙ יְבָרֵ֣ךְ הַ⁠זֶּ֔בַח & כִּֽי

as_soon_as,enter,you_all the=city yes/correct/thus/so find, DOM=him/it in/on/at/with,before it_will_ascend the,high_place,to to,eat & not eat the,people until comes,he that/for/because/then/when he/it bless the,sacrifice & that/for/because/then/when

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 he himself will bless the sacrifice, the people will not eat until he comes, so in your entering the city, thus you will find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּ⁠טֶרֶם֩ יַעֲלֶ֨ה הַ⁠בָּמָ֜תָ⁠ה לֶ⁠אֱכֹ֗ל & לֹֽא־יֹאכַ֤ל הָ⁠עָם֙ עַד־בֹּא֔⁠וֹ כִּֽי־הוּא֙ יְבָרֵ֣ךְ הַ⁠זֶּ֔בַח & כִּֽי

in/on/at/with,before it_will_ascend the,high_place,to to,eat & not eat the,people until comes,he that/for/because/then/when he/it bless the,sacrifice & that/for/because/then/when

The fact that the people will not eat before Samuel comes is not in itself a logical reason why Samuel will still be at the entrance to the city. There is a further step in the logic. The young women mean that the people are still preparing the feast so that Samuel can bless it and that is why he has not gone up to the festival yet. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [because he has not yet gone up to the high place to eat, since the people are still preparing the feast so that he can bless it. For the people will not eat until he comes and does that]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

הַ⁠קְּרֻאִ֑ים

the,invited

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: [those whom someone has invited]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠עַתָּ֣ה

and=now

Speakers in this culture used the expression And now to introduce their main point. See how you translated it in [6:7](../06/07.md). Alternate translation: [So this is what you should do]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

כִּ֠י & אֹת֥⁠וֹ כְ⁠הַ⁠יּ֖וֹם תִּמְצְא֥וּ⁠ן אֹתֽ⁠וֹ

that/for/because/then/when & DOM=him/it as/like,the,about_the_day find, DOM=him/it

The women are repeating the pronoun him for emphasis. If your language can repeat pronouns for emphasis, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: [for you will find the very man you are looking for according to today]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

כְ⁠הַ⁠יּ֖וֹם

as/like,the,about_the_day

The young women are using a common expression of their culture to refer to the present moment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [right away] or [just at this time]
