ZEC 2:7 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily 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 / exclamations

ה֥וֹי צִיּ֖וֹן

listen Tsiyyōn/(Zion)

The exclamation Woe expresses an urgent call. If your language has its own way of expressing an urgent call, you could use it here. Alternate translation: [Listen, Zion!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

צִיּ֖וֹן

Tsiyyōn/(Zion)

Here, Zion represents the people who live in Jerusalem. Yahweh is calling the exiled people of Jerusalem to escape from Babylon. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that plainly. Alternate translation: [you people of Zion]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בַּת־בָּבֶֽל

(Some words not found in UHB: listen Tsiyyōn/(Zion) escape live daughter_of Bāⱱel )

Yahweh is using the daughter of Babylon as a common expression to refer to the people of Babylon. If this expression does not communicate well in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the people of Babylon]
