OET (OET-RV)

[ref]The crowds had grown even larger, but Yeshua told them, “This generation is evil because they’re requesting a miracle and the only miracle that will be given to them will be the miracle of Yonah.

11:29: Mrk 8:12; Mat 16:4.

OET-LVAnd the crowds being_increased, he_began to_be_saying:
- this generation is evil generation, it_is_seeking a_sign and a_sign will_ not _be_being_given to_it, except not/lest the sign of_Yōnas/(Yōnāh).

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

11:14-32 Jesus faced two challenges. He answered the first, an accusation that he was casting out demons by Satan’s power (11:15), in 11:17-26. The second was a demand for miraculous signs (11:16), which he answered in 11:29-32.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῶν δὲ ὄχλων ἐπαθροιζομένων

the and crowds /being/_increased

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state what these crowds were. Alternate translation: “as the crowds around Jesus were growing larger” or “as more people kept joining the crowds around Jesus”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη γενεὰ πονηρά ἐστιν; σημεῖον ζητεῖ

¬The generation this generation evil is /a/_sign ˱it˲_/is/_seeking

Jesus uses the term generation to mean the people who were born in the current generation. Alternate translation: “The people living at this time are evil people. They seek”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

σημεῖον ζητεῖ

/a/_sign ˱it˲_/is/_seeking

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate the purpose of the sign that the people were seeking. Alternate translation: “They want me to perform a miracle to prove that I have come from God”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions

σημεῖον οὐ δοθήσεται αὐτῇ, εἰ μὴ τὸ σημεῖον Ἰωνᾶ

/a/_sign /a/_sign not /will_be_being/_given ˱to˲_it except ¬not/lest the sign ˱of˲_Jonah

If, in your language, it would appear that Jesus was making a statement here and then contradicting it, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: “God will only give it the sign of Jonah”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

σημεῖον οὐ δοθήσεται αὐτῇ

/a/_sign /a/_sign not /will_be_being/_given ˱to˲_it

τὸ σημεῖον Ἰωνᾶ

the sign ˱of˲_Jonah

Alternate translation: “a miracle like the one that God did for Jonah”
