ZEC 3:2 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.

יִגְעַ֨ר יְהוָ֤ה בְּ⁠ךָ֙ הַ⁠שָּׂטָ֔ן וְ⁠יִגְעַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ בְּ⁠ךָ֔ הַ⁠בֹּחֵ֖ר בִּ⁠ירֽוּשָׁלִָ֑ם

Yahweh is speaking of himself in the third person as Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [May I, Yahweh, rebuke you, the adversary, and may I, Yahweh who is choosing Jerusalem, rebuke you]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

יִגְעַ֨ר יְהוָ֤ה בְּ⁠ךָ֙ הַ⁠שָּׂטָ֔ן וְ⁠יִגְעַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ בְּ⁠ךָ֔ הַ⁠בֹּחֵ֖ר בִּ⁠ירֽוּשָׁלִָ֑ם

These two phrases May Yahweh rebuke you, the adversary and may Yahweh who is choosing Jerusalem rebuke you mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [Certainly, may Yahweh rebuke you, the adversary]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

א֖וּד מֻצָּ֥ל מֵ⁠אֵֽשׁ

brand snatched from,a_fire

Yahweh is speaking as if Joshua were a firebrand rescued from the fire. He means that Joshua has been barely saved from destruction. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [one who has been barely saved from destruction]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

א֖וּד מֻצָּ֥ל מֵ⁠אֵֽשׁ

brand snatched from,a_fire

The expression rescued 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. Alternate translation: [a firebrand that God rescued from the fire]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

יִגְעַ֨ר יְהוָ֤ה בְּ⁠ךָ֙ הַ⁠שָּׂטָ֔ן וְ⁠יִגְעַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ בְּ⁠ךָ֔ הַ⁠בֹּחֵ֖ר בִּ⁠ירֽוּשָׁלִָ֑ם

Yahweh is expressing what he desires to happen to the adversary. See the discussion in the introduction to this book about this form of speech and follow the decision of your team of how a speaker will express in this context what he wants someone to do. Alternate translation: [I rebuke you, the adversary, and I, Yahweh who is choosing Jerusalem, rebuke you]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲ⁠ל֧וֹא זֶ֦ה א֖וּד מֻצָּ֥ל מֵ⁠אֵֽשׁ

am=not this brand snatched from,a_fire

Yahweh is using the question form to emphasize that Joshua has indeed been rescued from destruction. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [Surely this is a firebrand rescued from the fire!]
