20:22 The cup refers to Jesus’ duty, calling, and destiny (see 26:39; John 18:11; see also Ps 75:8; Isa 51:17, 22; Rev 16:19).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
εἶπεν
said
Here Matthew implies that Jesus is speaking directly to the two sons of Zebedee. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “said to her two sons”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
πιεῖν τὸ ποτήριον ὃ ἐγὼ μέλλω πίνειν
/to/_drink the cup which I /am/_going /to_be/_drinking
Here Jesus speaks of experiencing pain and suffering as if it were drinking from a cup. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to experience the pain that I am about to experience” or “to experience the suffering that I am about to experience”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὸ ποτήριον
the cup
Here, cup represents the drink inside the cup, which in Jesus’ culture would probably have been wine. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the drink” or “the wine in the cup”
Note 4 topic: translate-textvariants
πίνειν
/to_be/_drinking
Many ancient manuscripts end the question with the word drink. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts include after the word drink the words “or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am being baptized.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.
Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns
λέγουσιν
˱they˲_/are/_saying
The pronoun They refers to the sons of Zebedee. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use the person's name here. Alternate translation: “The sons of Zebedee say”
Note 6 topic: translate-tense
λέγουσιν
˱they˲_/are/_saying
To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “They said”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
δυνάμεθα
˱we˲_/are/_being_able
By We, the sons of Zebedee mean themselves, but not their mother or Jesus, so use the exclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
δυνάμεθα
˱we˲_/are/_being_able
The sons of Zebedee are leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “We are able to drink that cup”
