OET (OET-LV) And to_the ones selling the doves he_said:
Take_away these things from_here, not be_making the house of_the father of_me a_house of_business.

OET (OET-RV) He scolded the ones selling doves, saying, “Get them out of here! Don’t be making my father’s house into a market.”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:13–25: Jesus sent the sellers away from the temple

In this section Jesus drove out (threw out) people who were selling animals and exchanging money in the temple courtyard. He was angry that they were using the temple to make money for themselves. The Jewish religious leaders were very upset at this. They did not think that Jesus had the authority to drive out these traders and money changers.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it. Here are some other possible titles for this section:

Jesus drove/threw out traders/sellers from the temple

Jesus cleansed the temple

Jesus stopped people from selling animals in the temple

There are similar passages to this section in Matthew 21:12–13, Mark 11:15–17, and Luke 19:45–46.

Paragraph 2:13–17

This paragraph tells how Jesus demonstrated his authority over what happened in the temple. He sent away from the temple people who were buying and selling animals and exchanging money. He knew God had given him this authority to cleanse the temple.

2:16a

To those selling doves He said, “Get these out of here!

Get these out of here!: Jesus commanded the sellers of birds to carry them out of the temple. The doves were kept in cages, and the sellers could pick up the cages and take them out of the temple. Here are other ways to translate this command:

Take them out of here! (GNT)

Get those doves out of here! (CEV)

Pick up this stuff, and get it out of here! (GW)

2:16b

How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!”

How dare you turn My Father’s house into a marketplace!: Jesus used this command as a strong rebuke. Jesus did not want people to make money buying and selling things in God’s holy temple. They were doing that, and he told them to stop. There are at least two ways to translate this clause:

Translate this command in a way that is natural in your language. If you translate it as a command, make sure that it is clear that Jesus did not approve of what the businessmen/traders were doing. If you translate it as a rebuke, make sure that it is clear that the traders must stop their activities. In some languages it may be natural to translate this as two clauses or sentences. For example:

You are doing wrong to make my Father’s house into a market! Stop it!

My Father’s house: This phrase refers to the temple. The temple was a place where God was present in a special way. It was holy, and Jesus required God’s people to act in a way that respected it as holy.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου οἶκον ἐμπορίου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί τοῖς τάς περιστεράς πωλοῦσιν εἶπεν Ἄρατε ταῦτα ἐντεῦθεν μή ποιεῖτε τόν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μού οἶκον ἐμπορίου)

Jesus uses the house of my Father to refer to the temple. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the house of my Father, which is the temple, a house of commerce]

Note 2 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

τοῦ πατρός μου

˱of˲_the father (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί τοῖς τάς περιστεράς πωλοῦσιν εἶπεν Ἄρατε ταῦτα ἐντεῦθεν μή ποιεῖτε τόν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μού οἶκον ἐμπορίου)

Father is an important title for God.

OET (OET-RV) He scolded the ones selling doves, saying, “Get them out of here! Don’t be making my father’s house into a market.”

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.
