SNG 8:8 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.

ClVg Chorus Fratrum Soror nostra parva, et ubera non habet; quid faciemus sorori nostræ in die quando alloquenda est?[fn]
(Chorus Fratrum Soror our small, and breasts not/no has; what we_will_do sisteri our in/into/on day when to_address est? )

8.8 Soror nostra, etc. O vos ministri et commilitones mei, nova est hæc Ecclesia et tenera ad novam dilectionem retinendam. Soror nostra parva. Ecclesia, antequam crescat per incrementa virtutum, infirmis auditoribus non potest præbere ubera prædicationis; adulta dicitur, quando verbo Dei copulata, sancto repleta Spiritu, per prædicationis ministerium in filiorum conceptione fœdatur, quos exhortando parturit, convertendo parit. Quid faciemus sorori, etc. Ac si aperte dicat: Parva quidem numero est Ecclesia gentium, et necdum ad subeundum verbi ministerium sufficit. Quid ergo tibi videtur, o Synagoga, erga curam ejus, sororis videlicet nostræ, esse faciendum tempore illo, quo illam per apostolos meos, apostolorumque successores alloqui cœpero? Utrum quasi parvulæ adhuc, parva illi secretorum cœlestium arcana committamus, an jam majorem eam per augmenta reddamus, quatenus bene proficiens, perfectiorum possit capax esse virtutum? Cui tacenti, et quid ipse velit potius auscultanti, continuo quid fieri deceat aperit, ita subjiciens:

The phrase and breasts there are not for her is an expression that means the woman’s brothers think she has not reached full physical maturity and is therefore not yet ready for marriage. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression that does have that meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and she is not yet fully grown] or [and her breasts are still small] or [and she is not yet ready for marriage]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בַּ⁠יּ֖וֹם

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, the context implies that the brothers are the ones who will do it. Alternate translation: [when we speak for her by promising a man that he can marry her]
