ZEC 2:9 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 / idiom

הִנְ⁠נִ֨י מֵנִ֤יף

here,I raise

Yahweh is using behold as a common expression of the culture to get the attention of his listeners and to emphasize what he is about to say. If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [indeed, I am waving] or [look, I am about to wave]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מֵנִ֤יף אֶת־יָדִ⁠י֙ עֲלֵי⁠הֶ֔ם

raise DOM hand_of,my on,them

Here, my hand represents Yahweh’s power to punish. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I am about to strike them with my power]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

יְהוָ֥ה צְבָא֖וֹת שְׁלָחָֽ⁠נִי

YHWH armies/messengers (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when here,I raise DOM hand_of,my on,them and=they_will_be plunder for,their_own_of,slaves and,you(pl)_will_know that/for/because/then/when YHWH armies/messengers he,has_sent_me )

The pronoun me refers to the prophetic speaker. This statement is outside Yahweh’s direct speech. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [Yahweh of Armies has sent me, his prophet]
