OET (OET-RV) So if God dresses the weeds in the paddock that are here today and incinerated tomorrow, how much more would he look after you all—you with little faith?
OET-LV But if the god is_ thus _dressing the grass in the_field being here today, and tomorrow being_thrown into a_furnace, for_how_much rather you_all, little_faith ones?
SR-GNT Εἰ δὲ ἐν ἀγρῷ τὸν χόρτον ὄντα σήμερον, καὶ αὔριον εἰς κλίβανον βαλλόμενον, ὁ ˚Θεὸς οὕτως ἀμφιέζει, πόσῳ μᾶλλον ὑμᾶς, ὀλιγόπιστοι; ‡
(Ei de en agrōi ton ⱪorton onta saʸmeron, kai aurion eis klibanon ballomenon, ho ˚Theos houtōs amfiezei, posōi mallon humas, oligopistoi?)

ULT And if God thus clothes the grass in the field, existing today and tomorrow being thrown into an oven, how much more you, ones of little faith!
UST God makes the plants beautiful, even though they grow for only a short time. Then people cut them down and throw them into the fire. But you are very precious to God. He will care for you even more than he cares for the plants. You should trust God more than you do.

12:28 in ¦ of ANT
T4T God makes the flowers beautiful, but they grow in the fields for only a short time. Then they are cut at the same time that the grass is cut, and thrown into an oven to be burned to make heat for baking bread. So they really are not worth very much. But you are very precious to God, and he will care for you much more than he cares for the grass by filling it with beautiful flowers. So he will certainly provide clothes for you, who live much longer than the grass. Why [RHQ] do you trust him so little?
LEB But if God clothes the grass in the field in this way, although it[fn] ishere today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he do so for[fn] you, you of little faith?
?:? *Here “although” is supplied as a component of the participle (“is”) which is understood as concessive
?:? *The phrase “will he do so for” is not in the Greek text but is implied
BBE But if God gives such clothing to the grass in the field, which today is living, and tomorrow will be burned in the oven, how much more will he give clothing to you, O men of little faith?

12:22-34 Jesus’ warning against greed (12:13-21) is followed by teaching about living in dependence on God. Jesus’ disciples were to focus on God’s Kingdom and his purpose in this world rather than being obsessed with possessions.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
εἰ & ἐν ἀγρῷ τὸν χόρτον ὄντα σήμερον, καὶ αὔριον εἰς κλίβανον βαλλόμενον, ὁ Θεὸς οὕτως ἀμφιέζει
if & in /the/_field the grass being_‹here› today and tomorrow into /a/_furnace /being/_cast ¬the God thus /is/_dressing
Jesus speaks of God making the wild plants beautiful as if God were putting beautiful clothing on them. Alternate translation: “if God makes the wild plants beautiful like this, even though they are alive today and are thrown into an oven tomorrow”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact
εἰ & ἐν ἀγρῷ τὸν χόρτον ὄντα σήμερον, καὶ αὔριον εἰς κλίβανον βαλλόμενον, ὁ Θεὸς οὕτως ἀμφιέζει
if & in /the/_field the grass being_‹here› today and tomorrow into /a/_furnace /being/_cast ¬the God thus /is/_dressing
Jesus speaks as if this were a hypothetical situation, but he means that it must be true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might think that what Jesus is saying is uncertain, then you can translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: “since God makes the wild plants so beautiful, even though they are alive today and are thrown into an oven tomorrow”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐν ἀγρῷ τὸν χόρτον ὄντα σήμερον, καὶ αὔριον εἰς κλίβανον βαλλόμενον
in /the/_field the grass being_‹here› today and tomorrow into /a/_furnace /being/_cast
While Jesus uses a term that typically means grass, in this context he must implicitly mean wild plants in general, since he is referring back to the wild lilies he has just mentioned. So you could express this with a general term in your translation. Alternate translation: “the wild plants, which are alive today and tomorrow are thrown into an oven”
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
ἐν ἀγρῷ τὸν χόρτον ὄντα σήμερον, καὶ αὔριον εἰς κλίβανον βαλλόμενον
in /the/_field the grass being_‹here› today and tomorrow into /a/_furnace /being/_cast
It would be particularly appropriate to use a general term in your translation if your readers would not know what grass is. Alternate translation: “the wild plants, which are alive today and tomorrow are thrown into an oven”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐν ἀγρῷ τὸν χόρτον ὄντα σήμερον, καὶ αὔριον εἰς κλίβανον βαλλόμενον
in /the/_field the grass being_‹here› today and tomorrow into /a/_furnace /being/_cast
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who does the action. Alternate translation: “the grass in the field, which exists today, but tomorrow someone throws it into an oven” or, if you decided to say “plants,” “the wild plants, which exist today, but tomorrow someone throws them into an oven”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐν ἀγρῷ τὸν χόρτον ὄντα σήμερον, καὶ αὔριον εἰς κλίβανον βαλλόμενον
in /the/_field the grass being_‹here› today and tomorrow into /a/_furnace /being/_cast
The implication is that dried plant matter would be used for fuel, for heating and cooking. If your readers would not be familiar with this practice, you could describe it explicitly. Alternate translation: “the grass in the field, which exists today, but tomorrow people use it for fuel” or, if you decided to say “plants,” “the wild plants, which exist today, but tomorrow people use them for fuel”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
πόσῳ μᾶλλον ὑμᾶς
˱for˲_how_much rather you_all
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from earlier in the sentence. Alternate translation: “how much more will God clothe you”
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations
πόσῳ μᾶλλον ὑμᾶς
˱for˲_how_much rather you_all
This is an exclamation, not a question. Jesus is emphasizing that God will certainly take care of people even better than he takes care of grass. Alternate translation: “God will certainly clothe you even better”
