11:25-30 This passage focuses on the remnant who, despite the present generation’s overall rejection of the Messiah, willingly embrace him and follow his teachings.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
γὰρ
for
Here, the word For introduces a reason why people should take Jesus’ yoke and find rest (see 11:30). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis for a claim, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “You should do that because” or “That is because”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
ὁ & ζυγός μου χρηστὸς καὶ τὸ φορτίον μου ἐλαφρόν ἐστιν
the & yoke ˱of˲_me_‹is› easy and the burden ˱of˲_me light is
These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second clause is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternatively, you could combine the two clauses. Alternate translation: “my yoke is easy; yes, my burden is light” or “my yoke and burden are easy”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor
ὁ & ζυγός μου χρηστὸς καὶ τὸ φορτίον μου ἐλαφρόν ἐστιν
the & yoke ˱of˲_me_‹is› easy and the burden ˱of˲_me light is
Here Jesus continues to speak of people who obey his commands and teaching as if they were farm animals that accepted a yoke or carried a burden. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use simile form or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “obeying me is easy. It is as if you were a farm animal wearing an easy yoke. Accepting my teaching is not difficult. It is as if you were a farm animal carrying a light burden” or “Obeying me is easy, and accepting my teaching is not difficult”
