SIBI-P1 Translation H539-22

faithful ones

Morphological NotesNiphal participle, masculine plural, absolute; stative/passive sense "being firm/reliable."
Rendering RationaleThe Niphal participle conveys a stative/passive sense of being firm, reliable, or upheld. As a masculine plural participle, it functions adjectivally/substantivally, hence "faithful ones" preserves both the root idea of firmness/support and the plural morphology.

SILEX v2

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)

sure

Same as P1No — adjusted for context
RationaleP1 'faithful ones' was too literal, translating the plural form as if it referred to a group, but in context, 'sure' (as in certain or secure) is the correct sense for the adjective modifying 'waters.'
