OET (OET-LV) Therefore he_is_saying:
Be_raising, you sleeping, and rise_up from the dead, and will_be_shining_upon upon_you the chosen_one/messiah.
OET (OET-RV) That’s why it says:
⇔ You who’re asleep get up,
⇔ You who’re dead come back to life,
⇔ The messiah will shine his light on you.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
διὸ
therefore
The connecting word Therefore introduces a reason-result relationship. The reason is that their sins will be revealed by the light. The result is that sinners should allow Christ to shine on them. Use a phrase in your language that connects a reason to a result.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / apostrophe
ἔγειρε, ὁ καθεύδων, καὶ ἀνάστα ἐκ τῶν νεκρῶν
/be/_raising you sleeping and rise_up from the dead
This could mean: (1) Paul is addressing the believers and using death as a metaphor for their areas of spiritual weakness that they need to become aware of and reject. (2) Paul is addressing unbelievers who need to wake up from being dead spiritually just as a person who has died must come alive again in order to respond. See the UST.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / apostrophe
ὁ καθεύδων
you sleeping
This could mean: (1) Paul is addressing this comment directly to the believers who are reading or hearing the letter. (2) Paul is addressing this comment directly to unbelievers who are not reading or hearing the letter.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐκ τῶν νεκρῶν
from the dead
This expression describes all dead people together in the underworld. To arise from among them speaks of becoming alive again and is a metaphor for becoming alive spiritually and living for God. Alternate translation: “from among all those who have died” or “from among those who are spiritually dead”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / you
ἐπιφαύσει σοι
/will_be/_shining_upon ˱upon˲_you
Here, you refers to the “sleeper” and is singular.
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐπιφαύσει σοι ὁ Χριστός
/will_be/_shining_upon ˱upon˲_you the Messiah
Christ will enable an unbeliever to understand how evil his deeds are and how Christ will forgive him and give him new life, just as light shows what actually is there that the darkness had hid. This aso applies to anything that a believer has not yet recognized as sinful. Alternate translation: “Christ will show you what is right”
5:13-14 “Awake, O sleeper”: This might be a fragment from an unknown Christian song, perhaps based on texts in Isaiah (cp. Isa 26:19; 52:1; 60:1). It calls on God’s people to turn from their sinful darkness and live in the full light of Christ.
OET (OET-LV) Therefore he_is_saying:
Be_raising, you sleeping, and rise_up from the dead, and will_be_shining_upon upon_you the chosen_one/messiah.
OET (OET-RV) That’s why it says:
⇔ You who’re asleep get up,
⇔ You who’re dead come back to life,
⇔ The messiah will shine his light on you.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
