ZEC 1:15 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 / abstractnouns

לְ⁠רָעָֽה

for,evil

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of the evil, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [to do what was harmful]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֲנִי֙ קָצַ֣פְתִּי מְּעָ֔ט וְ⁠הֵ֖מָּה עָזְר֥וּ לְ⁠רָעָֽה

which/who I angry a_little and,they furthered for,evil

Yahweh uses the word but here to indicate a contrast between the limited extent of his anger and the excessive harm the nations inflicted. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [for I was angry only a little, yet they made the harm far worse]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

אֲנִ֣י קֹצֵ֔ף & אֲנִי֙ קָצַ֣פְתִּי

I being_angry & I angry

The pronoun I is repeated for emphasis in both clauses. You could translate Yahweh’s emphasis with a phrase that conveys strong personal involvement in your language. Alternate translation: [I myself am angry…I myself was angry]

Note 4 topic: writing-poetry

וְ⁠קֶ֤צֶף גָּדוֹל֙ אֲנִ֣י קֹצֵ֔ף

and,anger big/great I being_angry

Yahweh is using a construction in which a verb and its object come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of saying this. Alternate translation: [And I am very, very angry]
