2 SAM 7:21 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—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: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בַּ⁠עֲב֤וּר דְּבָֽרְ⁠ךָ֙

(Some words not found in UHB: in=account_of word_of,your and,according,to_of,your_own_heart you(ms)_have_done/made DOM all/each/any/every the,greatness (the),this by,making_know_[it] DOM servant_of,your )

David is using the term word to represent what Yahweh said on some previous occasion by using words. In context, he seems to be referring to how Yahweh instructed Samuel in [1 Samuel 16:12](../../1sa/16/12.md) to anoint him as king. This constituted a commitment on Yahweh’s part to make David the king. The idea here seems to be that in order to keep this promise in the fullest sense, Yahweh is going to make David the head of a royal dynasty. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [In order to keep your promise in the fullest sense]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּֽ⁠כְ⁠לִבְּ⁠ךָ֔

Here, the heart represents a person’s desires. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [according to your desire] or [because you wanted to]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

אֵ֥ת כָּל־הַ⁠גְּדוּלָּ֖ה הַ⁠זֹּ֑את

DOM (Some words not found in UHB: in=account_of word_of,your and,according,to_of,your_own_heart you(ms)_have_done/made DOM all/each/any/every the,greatness (the),this by,making_know_[it] DOM servant_of,your )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of greatness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [all these great things]

Note 4 topic: translate-tense

לְ⁠הוֹדִ֖יעַ אֶת־עַבְדֶּֽ⁠ךָ

by,making_know_[it] DOM (Some words not found in UHB: in=account_of word_of,your and,according,to_of,your_own_heart you(ms)_have_done/made DOM all/each/any/every the,greatness (the),this by,making_know_[it] DOM servant_of,your )

In this context, the verb form to make … know does not describe the purpose of the preceding action you have done all this greatness. Instead, it describes an accompanying action. Use an appropriate verbal form in your language to convey this meaning. Alternate translation: [and you have made me, your servant, know this]
