OET (OET-RV)But I’m telling you not to make oaths in the first place—don’t swear by heaven because it’s God’s throne,

OET-LVBut I am_saying to_you_all not to_ actually _swear, neither by the heaven, because it_is the_throne of_ the _god,

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

5:21-47 You have heard. . . . But I say: Jesus contrasts his own teaching to six misinterpretations of the law. Each antithesis provides an example of the surpassing righteousness of Jesus. Jesus reveals the will of God as it contrasts with traditions.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces a contrast with what Jesus said in the previous verse (5:33). Jesus is not contradicting what he said. Rather, he is adding new information. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast. Alternate translation: “However,” or “Yet”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐγὼ & λέγω ὑμῖν μὴ ὀμόσαι

I & /am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all not /to/_swear

Jesus uses the clause I tell you to emphasize what he is about to say and to contrast it with what “was said to the ancient ones” (5:33). If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the emphatic contrast in another way. Alternate translation: “listen to this: do not swear” or “here is what you need to know: do not swear”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὅλως; μήτε ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, ὅτι θρόνος ἐστὶν τοῦ Θεοῦ

actually neither by ¬the heaven because /the/_throne ˱it˲_is ¬the ˱of˲_God

Here, the word for introduces a reason why people should not swear by heaven. If it would be helpful in your language, you could put the reason before the command. Alternate translation: “at all. Heaven is the throne of God, so do not swear by it”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

θρόνος ἐστὶν τοῦ Θεοῦ

/the/_throne ˱it˲_is ¬the ˱of˲_God

Here, Jesus speaks of heaven as if it were the throne of God. He means that heaven is the place from which God rules. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternative translation: “it is where God’s throne is” or “it is the place from which God rules”
