9:33-50 Because the disciples did not understand Jesus’ prediction of his suffering, they were unable to see its implications for their own lives.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parables
καλὸν τὸ ἅλας
good_‹is› the salt
To teach the disciples, Jesus offers a story or illustration. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “Listen to this illustration: Salt is good”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical
ἐὰν & τὸ ἅλας ἄναλον γένηται, ἐν τίνι
if & the salt unsalty /may/_become with what
Jesus means that it is possible for salt to become unsalty, and he is speaking about what can or cannot happen after salt has become unsalty. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a situation that could happen. Alternate translation: “suppose that the salt becomes unsalty. With what”
ἄναλον γένηται
unsalty /may/_become
Alternate translation: “loses its salty taste”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
ἐν τίνι αὐτὸ ἀρτύσετε?
with what it ˱you_all˲_/will_be/_seasoning
Jesus is using the question form to show that no one can make ruined salt salty again. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “you cannot season it with anything!” or “you are not able to season it.”
αὐτὸ ἀρτύσετε
it ˱you_all˲_/will_be/_seasoning
Alternate translation: “will you make it taste salty again”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
ἀρτύσετε & ἔχετε & εἰρηνεύετε
˱you_all˲_/will_be/_seasoning & /be/_having & /be/_being_at_peace
Because Jesus is talking to his disciples, the word you and the commands Have and be at peace are plural.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἔχετε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς ἅλα
/be/_having in yourselves salt
Here Jesus commands his disciples to have salt in themselves. Just as salt makes food better in many ways, so Jesus’ disciples can make the world better in many ways. If possible, preserve the figure of speech or use simile form since it refers back to the illustration Jesus just gave. Alternate translation: “Be like food that has salt in it” or “Help others as if you had salt in yourselves”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
εἰρηνεύετε
/be/_being_at_peace
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “act peaceably”
