BI Rev 3:17 ©

OET (OET-RV) You brag, ‘I’m rich, yes I’ve grown rich and don’t have any needs,’ but you don’t realise that you’re actually miserable and pitiable, and poor and blind and naked.

OET-LVBecause you_are_saying, that Rich I_am, and I_have_become_rich, and nothing need I_am_having, and not you_have_known that you are the miserable, and pitiful, and poor, and blind, and naked.

SR-GNTὍτι λέγεις, ὅτιΠλούσιός εἰμι, καὶ πεπλούτηκα, καὶ οὐδὲν χρείαν ἔχω’, καὶ οὐκ οἶδας ὅτι σὺ εἶ ταλαίπωρος, καὶ ἐλεεινὸς, καὶ πτωχὸς, καὶ τυφλὸς, καὶ γυμνός. 
   (Hoti legeis, hoti ‘Plousios eimi, kai peploutaʸka, kai ouden ⱪreian eⱪō’, kai ouk oidas hoti su ei ho talaipōros, kai eleʼeinos, kai ptōⱪos, kai tuflos, kai gumnos.)

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

3:17 Although Christians in Laodicea felt prosperous and self-sufficient (see study note on 3:14), Jesus accurately saw their wretched and miserable and poor spiritual condition.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

ὅτι λέγεις, ὅτι πλούσιός εἰμι, καὶ πεπλούτηκα, καὶ οὐδὲν χρείαν ἔχω

because ˱you˲_/are/_saying ¬that rich ˱I˲_am and ˱I˲_/have/_become_rich and nothing need ˱I˲_/am/_having

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “For you say that you are rich and have become wealthy and have no need”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ὁ ταλαίπωρος, καὶ ἐλεεινὸς, καὶ πτωχὸς, καὶ τυφλὸς, καὶ γυμνός

¬the miserable and pitiful and poor and blind and naked

Jesus is using the adjectives miserable, pitiable, poor, blind and naked as nouns to describe a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. Other languages may have other ways of showing this meaning, such as the ULT does by adding the word one. Alternate translation: “a person who is miserable, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ ταλαίπωρος, καὶ ἐλεεινὸς, καὶ πτωχὸς, καὶ τυφλὸς, καὶ γυμνός

¬the miserable and pitiful and poor and blind and naked

Jesus is speaking as if the Laodiceans were literally miserable, pitiable, poor, blind and naked. He means that this is what they are like spiritually. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “spiritually very needy and unhealthy”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ὁ ταλαίπωρος, καὶ ἐλεεινὸς, καὶ πτωχὸς, καὶ τυφλὸς, καὶ γυμνός

¬the miserable and pitiful and poor and blind and naked

The words miserable, pitiable, and poor mean similar things. Jesus is using these terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “extremely poor as well as blind and naked”
