BI Luke 12:48 ©

OET (OET-RV)yet a slave that didn’t know what was expected, even if they might have done things worthy of a beating, they’ll just get a couple of blows. Everyone who’s given much is expected to do much, and everyone who’s entrusted with many things, will have much more expected back from them.

OET-LVbut the one not having_known, but having_done things worthy of_beatings, will_be_being_beat few blows.
And to_everyone to_whom was_given much, much will_be_being_sought from him, and to_whom they_entrusted they_will_be_requesting him much, more_abundantly.

SR-GNT δὲ μὴ γνοὺς, ποιήσας δὲ ἄξια πληγῶν, δαρήσεται ὀλίγας. Παντὶ δὲ ἐδόθη πολύ, πολὺ ζητηθήσεται παρʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ παρέθεντο πολύ, περισσότερον αἰτήσουσιν αὐτόν.

ULT But the one not having known and having done things worthy of blows will be beaten little. But everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required from him, and to whom much has been provided, even more will be asked of him.

UST But every servant who did not know what his master wanted him to do, and then did something wrong, will only get a mild punishment. The master will expect much from all servants to whom he has given much. And the master will expect even more from servants whom he has entrusted with many responsibilities.

BLB But the one not having known, but having done things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few. And everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from him to whom much has been committed, more will they ask of him.

AICNT “But the one who did not know, and did things deserving of blows, will be beaten with few.
¶ “[But][fn] from everyone to whom much was given, much will be demanded from him; and to whom much was entrusted, more will be {asked}[fn] of him.


12:48, But: Absent from some manuscripts. 𝔓45 ℵ(01)

12:48, asked: Some manuscripts read “demanded.” D(05) Latin(e ff2)

OEBwhile one who does not know his master’s wishes, but acts so as to deserve a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone to whom much has been given much will be expected, and from the man to whom much has been entrusted the more will be demanded.

LSV and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few; and to everyone to whom much was given, much will be required from him; and to whom they committed much, more abundantly they will ask of him.

FBV but the servant who didn't know and did things deserving punishment will be beaten only lightly. From those who are given much, much will be required, and from those who are entrusted with more, more will be demanded.

TCNTBut the one who did not know his master's will, yet did what deserved a beating, will be beaten with few lashes. From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from him to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded.

T4T But every servant who did not know what his master wanted him to do, and who did things for which he deserved to be punished, will be beaten lightly {the master will beat lightly every servant who did not know what his master wanted him to do and did the things for which he deserved that his master would beat him}. God will treat his people similarly, because he expects a lot from those people whom he has allowed to understand a lot. People who entrust things to others’ care expect those people to care for those things very well. Similarly, God expects a lot from those people whom he has allowed to understand a lot. Furthermore, he expects the most from people to whom he has given the most ability.”

LEB But the one who did not know and did things deserving blows will be given a light beating.[fn] And from everyone to whom much has been given, much will be demanded, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will ask himfor even more.


?:? Literally “will be beaten a few times”

BBE But he who, without knowledge, did things for which punishment is given, will get only a small number of blows. The man to whom much is given, will have to give much; if much is given into his care, of him more will be requested.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

12:35-48 Jesus compared his faithful followers to servants in a master’s household who were always prepared for his return and faithfully managed the resources he had left with them.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

ὁ δὲ μὴ γνοὺς, ποιήσας δὲ ἄξια πληγῶν, δαρήσεται ὀλίγας

the_‹one› but not /having/_known /having/_done but worthy_‹things› ˱of˲_beatings /will_be_being/_beat few_‹blows›

Jesus is describing a hypothetical situation. It may be helpful to use two sentences if you translate it that way. Alternate translation: “But suppose a servant did not know what his master wanted him to do, and suppose he did things that deserved punishment. Then his master would punish him lightly”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

δαρήσεται ὀλίγας

/will_be_being/_beat few_‹blows›

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who will do the action. Alternate translation: “his master would punish him lightly”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

παντὶ & ᾧ ἐδόθη πολύ, πολὺ ζητηθήσεται παρ’ αὐτοῦ; καὶ ᾧ παρέθεντο πολύ, περισσότερον αἰτήσουσιν αὐτόν

˱to˲_everyone & ˱to˲_whom /was/_given much much /will_be_being/_sought from him and ˱to˲_whom ˱they˲_entrusted much more_abundantly ˱they˲_/will_be/_requesting him

These two clauses mean the same thing. Jesus is using repetition for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine them, especially if putting both of them in your translation might be confusing for your readers. Alternate translation: “if someone entrusts many resources to a person, he will expect that person to produce much from those resources”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

παντὶ & ᾧ ἐδόθη πολύ, πολὺ ζητηθήσεται παρ’ αὐτοῦ

˱to˲_everyone & ˱to˲_whom /was/_given much much /will_be_being/_sought from him

If it would be helpful in your language, you could use active verbal forms to express the meaning of the two passive verbal forms here. Alternate translation: “the master will require more of everyone to whom he has given much”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ᾧ παρέθεντο πολύ, περισσότερον αἰτήσουσιν αὐτόν

˱to˲_whom ˱to˲_whom ˱they˲_entrusted much more_abundantly ˱they˲_/will_be/_requesting him

If it would be helpful in your language, you could use active verbal forms to express the meaning of the two passive verbal forms here. Alternate translation: “the master will ask even more of the one to whom he has given much property to care for”
