5:14 αυτον ¦ — WH
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, orange:accents differ (from our SR-GNT base).
5:14 The elders of the church were responsible for the well-being of a local assembly of Christians. Elders were selected because of their relative age and their qualifications as Christian leaders (Acts 14:23; 20:17, 28; 1 Pet 5:1-4; cp. 1 Tim 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9).
• At this early stage in the development of the church (AD 40s; see James Book Introduction, “Date and Location of Writing”), the word church is apparently a non-technical term meaning “congregation, assembly” (cp. Matt 18:17).
• The act of anointing . . . with oil symbolizes divine blessing and healing (Isa 1:6; Matt 6:17; Mark 6:13; Luke 10:34).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
ἀσθενεῖ τις ἐν ὑμῖν? προσκαλεσάσθω τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τῆς ἐκκλησίας, καὶ προσευξάσθωσαν
/is/_ailing anyone among you_all ˱him˲_/let/_call_to the elders ˱of˲_the assembly and ˱them˲_/let/_pray
Once again James is using the question form to state a condition and describing the result in a following sentence. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question by translating the question and that sentence together as a single statement. Alternate translation: “If anyone among you sick, then he should summon the elders of the church and they should pray”
προσευξάσθωσαν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν, ἀλείψαντες αὐτὸν ἐλαίῳ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ Κυρίου
˱them˲_/let/_pray over him /having/_anointed him ˱with˲_olive_oil in the name ˱of˲_the Lord
It is unclear whether James means that the prayer or the anointing is to be done in the name of the Lord. Alternate translation: “let them pray over him in the name of the Lord after they have anointed him with oil” or “let them anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord and then pray for him”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
προσευξάσθωσαν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν
˱them˲_/let/_pray over him
James is using a spatial metaphor to indicate that the sick person is the beneficiary of the elders’ prayers. Alternate translation: “pray for him”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
ἀλείψαντες αὐτὸν ἐλαίῳ
/having/_anointed him ˱with˲_olive_oil
In the biblical culture, anointing people with oil was a way of consecrating them to God, but it was also a medical treatment. Since James is talking about a person who is sick, he seems to speak of the oil at least in part for its medical value. So he may be telling believers to do what they can practically to help the sick person recover, in addition to praying for him. If your readers would not recognize that the medical benefits were one reason why James says to anoint the sick person with oil, you could include an explanation in your translation or in a note, or you could translate this with a general expression. Alternate translation: “having done what they can to help him practically”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ Κυρίου
among in the name ˱of˲_the Lord
James is using the name of the Lord to mean his person and authority. Alternate translation: “on behalf of the Lord” or “with the authority of the Lord”
