OET (OET-LV) And by_no_means they_may_ not _follow after_a_stranger, but they_will_be_fleeing from him, because they_have_ not _known the voice of_ the _strangers.

OET (OET-RV) They would never follow a stranger because they wouldn’t know his voice, in fact they’d run away from him.”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:1–21: Jesus is the good shepherd

In this section Jesus talked about how he related to his people, his followers. He compared himself to the door of the sheep pen and to the shepherd. This comparison is something like a parable, but there is no actual story or narrative. It is more like a word picture, or a series of word pictures linked by the theme of sheep farming. It can also be described as an extended metaphor.

First Jesus compares himself to the door of the sheep pen because he is the way to salvation. Then he compares himself to the good shepherd because he leads and cares for his people as a shepherd does his sheep.

Here are other possible section headings:

Jesus is the shepherd of his people

Jesus told the parable/story of the good shepherd and his sheep

Jesus compared himself to a shepherd and the door/gate to a sheep pen

Paragraph 10:1–6

In this paragraph, Jesus described the situation of sheep in a sheep pen surrounded by a wall. He talked about thieves and bandits, who climb into the sheep pen to steal the sheep. The sheep do not follow them. He also described the shepherd who comes in through the gate. The shepherd calls his sheep to come with him and they follow him. Jesus did not say here who he compared himself to, but he will do that in the next paragraphs.

10:5a

But they will never follow a stranger;

But: The Greek text introduces this clause with a word that the BSB translates literally as But. It indicates a contrast. The sheep follow the shepherd but they do not follow the stranger. Indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language.

they will never follow a stranger: The sheep will not follow someone they do not know. The Greek text emphasizes the word never in the verb phrase will never follow.

a stranger: This clause refers to any and every stranger. In some languages it may be natural to use a plural form. For example:

The sheep will not follow strangers. (CEV)

The Greek text emphasizes the word stranger. This contrasts a stranger that the sheep do not follow with the shepherd that the sheep do follow. For example:

A stranger they simply will not follow (NASB)

But a stranger is someone that they will never follow

10:5b

in fact, they will flee from him because they do not recognize his voice.”

in fact: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as in fact here connects a negative statement (10:5a) to a positive statement (10:5b). This kind of sentence emphasizes the positive statement. Languages have different ways to indicate this type of emphasis. Here are some ways to show the emphasis:

You should translate this emphasis in the way that is most natural in your language.

they will flee from him: The word they refers to the sheep. Use an expression that describes how frightened sheep scatter and run from someone that they do not know.

because: This word here introduces the reason why the sheep will run away.

they do not recognize his voice: This clause indicates that the sheep do not recognize the sound of a stranger’s voice. They run away because they do not trust him. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

they do not recognize a stranger’s voice (NIV)

they don’t know his voice (NCV)

his voice: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as his voice is literally “the voice of strangers.” In some languages it may be natural to use a plural form. For example:

the voices of strangers

General Comment on 10:5b

In some languages it may be natural to translate 10:5b as a separate sentence and reverse the order of the clauses. For example:

They don’t recognize a stranger’s voice, and they run away. (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

τῶν ἀλλοτρίων τὴν φωνήν

¬the ˱of˲_strangers (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀλλοτρίῳ Δέ οὒ μή ἀκολουθήσωσιν ἀλλά φεύξονται ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ ὅτι οὐκ οἴδασι τῶν ἀλλοτρίων τήν φωνήν)

The word voice is singular in form, but it refers to all of the strangers’ voices as a group. If your language does not use singular nouns in that way, you can use a different expression. Alternate translation: [the voices of strangers]
