Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
καρπὸς & δικαιοσύνης ἐν εἰρήνῃ σπείρεται, τοῖς ποιοῦσιν εἰρήνην
˓the˒_fruit & ˱of˲_righteousness in peace ˓is_being˒_sown ˱by˲_the_‹ones› making peace
James speaks of those who make peace as if they were sowing seeds, and of righteousness as if it were fruit that grew from those seeds. Alternate translation: [those who work in peace to make peace produce righteousness]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
καρπὸς & δικαιοσύνης ἐν εἰρήνῃ σπείρεται, τοῖς ποιοῦσιν εἰρήνην
˓the˒_fruit & ˱of˲_righteousness in peace ˓is_being˒_sown ˱by˲_the_‹ones› making peace
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the abstract nouns righteousness and peace by stating the ideas behind them with equivalent expressions. Alternate translation: [those who work peacefully to help people live together peacefully are helping those people to live in the right way]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
καρπὸς & δικαιοσύνης ἐν εἰρήνῃ σπείρεται, τοῖς ποιοῦσιν εἰρήνην
˓the˒_fruit & ˱of˲_righteousness in peace ˓is_being˒_sown ˱by˲_the_‹ones› making peace
If you decide to retain the metaphor of sowing, you could express it with an active verbal form, if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [those who make peace sow the fruit of righteousness in peace]
3:18 James uses an agricultural image to emphasize the benefits of living by the wisdom from above: Those who plant seeds of peace in relationships will enjoy a luxuriant harvest of righteousness in those relationships (cp. Matt 5:9).
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
