Bohairic OT Psalms English and Coptic text don't match

[kero0]

I've noticed that in a few of the psalms, there are inconsistencies between the English and Coptic sources that make the text hard to read.

Here's just a couple that I noticed while reading today:

• Psalm 135:17 ⲫⲏ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲓⲛⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁ ⲛⲕⲟϩ ⲛϣⲱⲧ isn't in the English. This throws off all subsequent verses to not line up with each other.
• Psalm 148:6 The Coptic here includes part of the text of the English for the next verse. This throws off the alignment from that point forward and by verse 9 they're no longer aligned at all.
• Psalm 150 Praise God in his holy places: praise him in the firmament of his power. Is both S2 (ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ϧⲉⲛⲛⲏ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲁϥ) and S3 (ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛⲡⲓⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉϥϫⲟⲙ) this doubling continues until it runs out of English text and then the rest of the Coptic text doesn't have a translation.

Thanks for reporting! We had similar issues with the Sahidic Psalms, which don't map 1:1 to the Septuagint versification (that's what the translations are aligned to). We worked it out manually for Sahidic, though there may still be errors, but I see Sahidic and Bohairic don't match at all even in number of verses per chapter:

Different number of verses in psalm 1 : S 6 B 8
Different number of verses in psalm 2 : S 12 B 10
Different number of verses in psalm 3 : S 9 B 8
Different number of verses in psalm 4 : S 9 B 10
Different number of verses in psalm 5 : S 13 B 14
Different number of verses in psalm 7 : S 18 B 20
Different number of verses in psalm 8 : S 10 B 8
Different number of verses in psalm 9 : S 39 B 32
Different number of verses in psalm 10 : S 7 B 9
...

@ctschroeder @EarlyCodices this is something we should find some time to do or maybe look for volunteers to help with!

@amir-zeldes was this issue addressed/solved?

We haven't done a new version of the OT since then, so no, sadly it's still the same at the moment. If we plan to re-release the OT next round, we should probably assign these to someone to check.
