OET (OET-LV) And the slave is_ not _remaining in the house to the age, the son is_remaining to the age.
OET (OET-RV) “And the slaves don’t necessarily remain in the family home forever—only the children have that right.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
ὁ & δοῦλος οὐ μένει & ὁ Υἱὸς μένει
the & slave not /is/_remaining & the Son /is/_remaining
Jesus is speaking of slaves and sons in general, not of one particular slave and son. If this would be misunderstood in your language, use a more natural phrase. Alternate translation: “slaves do not remain … sons remain”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ
in the house
Here, Jesus uses house to refer to the family that lives inside the house. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “as a permanent member of a family”
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
ὁ Υἱὸς μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα
the the Son /is/_remaining to the age
This clause is in contrast to the previous clause. Although slaves do not remain permanent members of the family who owns them, sons are permanent family members. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a contrast. Alternate translation: “but the son remains into eternity”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ὁ Υἱὸς μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα
the the Son /is/_remaining to the age
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the previous clause. Alternate translation: “the son remains in the house into eternity”
8:35 Jesus unfolded the logic of his argument: If Israel is a spiritual slave, it has the same insecurity as any slave in a household. Members of a family are secure, slaves are not. Only Jesus can change the status of those in spiritual slavery and make them free and secure.
OET (OET-LV) And the slave is_ not _remaining in the house to the age, the son is_remaining to the age.
OET (OET-RV) “And the slaves don’t necessarily remain in the family home forever—only the children have that right.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
