OET (OET-LV) He_came to his own, and his own not received him.

OET (OET-RV) He came to his own chosen people, but they wouldn’t accept him,

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:1–18: The Word became flesh

In this section the author introduces the subject of his book, Jesus Christ. However, he does not mention Jesus by name until near the end of this section, in 1:17. Instead, he uses figurative language, referring to him as the Word and the light.

Here are other possible section headings:

The Word brought life and light to all people

Jesus is the Word and the light

Paragraph 1:10–13

When Jesus came into the world, some people accepted him but many did not.

1:11a

He came to His own,

He came to His own: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as His own is more literally “his own things/property.” This is ambiguous and can refer to the whole earth or specifically to the land of Israel/Judea. In your translation, it is good to be ambiguous. You may be able to follow one of these examples:

He came to the place that he owns

He came to his own country (GNT)

He came to his own home (RSV)

1:11b

and His own did not receive Him.

and: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as and here introduces an event that one might not expect. Other translations, such as the NIV, translate the conjunction as “but.” You should translate this conjunction in the way that is most natural for your language.

His own did not receive Him: The phrase His own refers to the Jews. Most of Jesus’ own people, the Jews, did not accept what he had to say. Verse 1:12a shows that there were some who did accept. If a literal translation here implies that none of the Jews received him, you may need to say this:

not many of his people accepted him

did not receive Him: The Greek word that the BSB translates as receive in this context means “welcome.” That is, it means “receive with pleasure or as a guest.” For example:

did not welcome him (CEV)

did not accept him (NRSV)

In some languages it may be more natural to translate did not receive with a positive expression. For example:

they rejected him (NLT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὰ ἴδια & οἱ ἴδιοι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἰς τά ἰδία Ἦλθεν καί οἱ ἴδιοι αὐτόν οὒ παρέλαβον)

Here, his own could refer to: (1) his own people, the nation of Israel. Alternate translation: [his fellow Jews … his fellow Jews]; (2) his own creation. Alternate translation: [the people he created … the people he created]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

καὶ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἰς τά ἰδία Ἦλθεν καί οἱ ἴδιοι αὐτόν οὒ παρέλαβον)

Here, and introduces a contrast between what was expected, that his own people would know their Messiah, and what happened, that his own people did not do that. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a contrast. Alternate translation: [but]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

αὐτὸν οὐ παρέλαβον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἰς τά ἰδία Ἦλθεν καί οἱ ἴδιοι αὐτόν οὒ παρέλαβον)

John assumes that his readers will understand that receive means to accept a person into one’s presence with friendliness. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [did not accept him] or [did not welcome him]
