Bible Question: The NASB Translates this differently from other versions. It varies signifiantly. Why? Did the text that they use vary? "marched down against the mighty" vs "came down to me as warriors." What is the literal translation? |
Bible Answer: Question: What is the literal translation of Judges 5:13? Answer: Judges 5:13 Young's Literal Translation Then him who is left of the honourable ones He caused to rule the people of Jehovah, He caused me to rule among the mighty. LITV (Literal Translation of the Holy Bible - Copyright © 1976 - 2000) Then He caused me to tread on the remnant of the noble ones of the people; Jehovah trod for me among the warriors. The American Standard Version Then came down a remnant of the nobles [and] the people; Jehovah came down for me against the mighty. NASB Judges 5:13 "Then survivors came down to the nobles; The people of the LORD came down to me as warriors. The NET Bible (www.bible.org/netbible/index.htm) Judges 5:13 Then the survivors[27] came down[28] to the mighty ones;[29] the Lord’s people came down to me[30] as[31] warriors. 27tn This probably refers to those who responded to the call for war. They were “survivors†of the Canaanite oppression (see B. Lindars, Judges 1-5, 250). 28tn The translation assumes a repointing of the verb as a perfect or imperfect/preterite form of dr y (y r d, “to go downâ€). The form as pointed in the MT appears to be from hd*r* (r*d*h, “to ruleâ€). See GKC §69.g. The same form, translated “came down,†occurs in the next line as well. 29sn The expression mighty ones probably refers to the leaders of the army. 30sn The speaker may be Deborah here. 31tn The translation assumes the preposition b (beth) prefixed to “warriors†has the force of “in the capacity of.†For this use of the preposition, see GKC §119.i. |
