ZEC 10:5 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—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: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠הָי֨וּ כְ⁠גִבֹּרִ֜ים

and=they_will_be like,warriors

The pronoun they refers to the people of Judah. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [And the people of Judah will be like warriors]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כְ⁠גִבֹּרִ֜ים

like,warriors

The point of this comparison is that just as warriors are strong and victorious in battle, so will the people of Judah be. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [strong and victorious like warriors]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

בּוֹסִ֨ים בְּ⁠טִ֤יט חוּצוֹת֙ בַּ⁠מִּלְחָמָ֔ה

trampling (Some words not found in UHB: and=they_will_be like,warriors trampling in_[the],mud_of streets in,battle and,they_will_fight that/for/because/then/when YHWH [will,be]_with_them and,they_will_put_to_shame riders_of horses )

Yahweh is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. The meaning may be that the warriors will trample their enemies into the mud of the streets. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [trampling their enemies in the mud of the streets in the battle]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּ֥י

The word for introduces the reason the people of Judah will prevail in battle: Yahweh is with them. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason.

By Yahweh is with them, Zechariah means that Yahweh will help them win the battle against their enemies. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Yahweh will help them]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠הֹבִ֖ישׁוּ רֹכְבֵ֥י סוּסִֽים

and,they_will_put_to_shame riders_of horses
