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-pronouns

בֵּית֔⁠וֹ

his_house_of,his

The pronoun his refers to each person who steals or swears falsely, as mentioned earlier in the verse. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the house of the one who sinned]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בִּ⁠שְׁמִ֖⁠י

by,name_of,my

Here, my name represents Yahweh’s person and authority. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [by my name and authority]

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

נְאֻם֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת

declares_of YHWH armies/messengers

The phrase declaration of Yahweh of Armies identifies the speaker of the direct quotation. 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 as an interruption within the quotation.

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

וּ⁠בָ֨אָה֙ & וְ⁠לָ֨נֶה֙ & וְ⁠כִלַּ֖תּ⁠וּ

of,the_thief & of,the_[one_who]_swears_an_oath by,name_of,my to,falsehood

Yahweh is not referring to a specific thief or a specific person swearing by his name to falsehood. He means any such person in general. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [people who steal … people who swear falsely by my name]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וְ⁠לָ֨נֶה֙ בְּ⁠ת֣וֹךְ בֵּית֔⁠וֹ וְ⁠כִלַּ֖תּ⁠וּ וְ⁠אֶת־עֵצָ֥י⁠ו וְ⁠אֶת־אֲבָנָֽי⁠ו

and,it_will_lodge in_the=middle his_house_of,his and,it,will_destroy_it and=DOM wood(s)_of,its and=DOM stone(s)_of,its

Yahweh is speaking of the curse as if it were a living thing that could spend the night in the midst of someone’s house and consume a house and its timbers and its stones. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And it will remain in his house and will destroy it, and its timbers and its stones]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

הַ⁠נִּשְׁבָּ֥ע בִּ⁠שְׁמִ֖⁠י
