OET (OET-LV) for/because you_had five husbands, and now he_whom you_are_having, is not husband of_you, this you_have_spoken true.

OET (OET-RV) “You’ve had five husbands and you’re not married to the man you’re living with, so what you said was true.”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:1–42: Jesus spoke with a woman from Samaria

In this section Jesus spoke to a Samaritan woman who had come to get water from a well. Jesus asked her for a drink of water. The woman was surprised that he spoke to her. Jesus was a Jew, and most Jewish people hated the Samaritans. But Jesus stayed and talked with the woman.

Jesus told the woman that he could give her living water, and he told her that he was the Messiah. The women went back to her town and brought many of the other Samaritan people to Jesus.

It is good to translate the section before giving it a title. Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus brought good news to the hated Samaritan people

The conversation at the well

Paragraph 4:16–18

This paragraph tells how the woman began to believe that Jesus was a prophet: Jesus let her know that he knew her history.

4:18a

In fact, you have had five husbands,

In fact: The Greek word that the BSB has translated as In fact means “because.” Here it introduces Jesus’ grounds for saying the woman was right. He knew that she had had five husbands before. He also knew that at that time she was living with another man who was not her husband. In some languages it is more natural to say this in a different way. For example:

For (NRSV)

The fact is (NIV)

you have had five husbands: This clause means that the woman had had five husbands one after another, not at the same time. In some languages it may be more natural to say:

You have been married to five men (GNT)

Five men have married you(sing)

4:18b

and the man you now have is not your husband.

the man you now have is not your husband: The phrase the man you now have refers to the man she was living with at that time. It apparently refers to another man, a sixth man, not one of the five husbands. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

the man you live with now is not really your husband (GNT)

you aren’t even married to the man you’re living with now (NLT)

4:18c

You have spoken truthfully.”

You have spoken truthfully: This repeats the information from 4:17b, “you are right in saying.” Other ways to translate this include.

You’ve told the truth. (GW)

You certainly spoke the truth! (NLT)

General Comment on 4:17–18

In some languages it may be more natural to combine 4:17–18. For example:

17–18“That’s right,” Jesus replied, “you are telling the truth. You don’t have a husband. You have already been married five times, and the man you are now living with isn’t your husband.” (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῦτο ἀληθὲς εἴρηκας

this (Some words not found in SR-GNT: πέντε γάρ ἄνδρας ἔσχες καί νῦν ὅν ἔχεις οὐκ ἐστίν σοῦ ἀνήρ τοῦτο ἀληθές εἴρηκας)

This you have said refers to the Samaritan woman’s statement in the previous verse that she did not have a husband. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [You have spoken the truth when you said you do not have a husband]
