ZEC 13:8 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—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-newevent

וְ⁠הָיָ֤ה בְ⁠כָל־הָ⁠אָ֨רֶץ֙

and=it_was in,all_of the=earth/land

Yahweh is using the phrase And it will be to introduce a new event in the story. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

נְאֻם־יְהוָ֔ה

declares_of YHWH

The phrase the declaration of Yahweh is a parenthetical statement within Yahweh’s speech that identifies him as the speaker. In your translation, use a natural way of indicating the speaker of a direct quotation in your language. It may not be necessary to represent this phrase explicitly.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

שְׁנַ֣יִם בָּ֔⁠הּ יִכָּרְת֖וּ

two in,it cut_off

The expression two parts in it will be cut off is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, the context indicates that it is Yahweh. Alternate translation: [Yahweh will cut off two parts in it]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

בָּ֔⁠הּ & וְ⁠הַ⁠שְּׁלִשִׁ֖ית יִוָּ֥תֶר

in,it & and,the_third,[part] left

If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, the context indicates that it is Yahweh. Alternate translation: [Yahweh will leave the third in it]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

יִכָּרְת֖וּ יִגְוָ֑עוּ

cut_off perish

The expressions will be cut off and will expire mean similar things. Yahweh is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [will perish completely]

Note 6 topic: translate-fraction

שְׁנַ֣יִם & וְ⁠הַ⁠שְּׁלִשִׁ֖ית

two & and,the_third,[part]
