OET (OET-LV) That one was the lamp which being_burned and shining, and you_all willed to_be_exulted for a_hour in the light of_him.

OET (OET-RV) Yohan was a bright and shining light and you appreciated it for a short time.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:30–47: Jesus told about others who told the truth about himself

Jesus told the Pharisees about those who testified about him. Those witnesses were John the Baptist, the works that the Father gave him to do, and the Father himself. The Father spoke about him in the Old Testament.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Jesus told about what testified about the truth about him

There were those who confirmed the truth about Jesus

Witnesses for Jesus

Paragraph 5:33–35

Jesus continued to discuss his witnesses, those who could speak in support of his claims. In this paragraph he said that John the Baptist was a witness to the truth.

5:35a–b

This verse contains a metaphor. Jesus compared John the Baptist to a lamp. A lamp enables people to see in the dark. In the same way, John enabled people to see (understand) God the Father and his Son, the Messiah. He taught truth about God and Jesus Christ.

In some languages a metaphor like this may not be clearly understood. If this is the case in your language, you may need to:

5:35a

John was a lamp that burned and gave light,

John was a lamp that burned and gave light: This expression is a metaphor. The two expressions burned and gave light both describe the lamp. It was an oil lamp with a flame that gave light as it burned. In some cultures such lamps may be unknown. In those languages it may be possible to say:

John was a lamp lit and shining (NJB)

John was a lamp that gave a lot of light (CEV)

John was a like an oil lamp that was shining

5:35b

and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.

and you were willing for a season to bask in his light: This continues the metaphor of light. The people listening to John were happy to hear what he said, just as people are happy to have light. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

for a time you were content to enjoy the light that he gave (NJB)

you were glad to enjoy his light for a while (GW)

you: This pronoun is plural and refers to the Jewish people in general. It implies that some of those who heard John were present and were listening to Jesus.

for a season: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as for a season means “for an hour.” It indicates that the time was short without really saying how short it was. Here are some other ways you may translate this phrase:

for a time (NIV)

for a short time (NET)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐκεῖνος

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐκεῖνος ἦν ὁ λύχνος ὁ καιόμενος καί φαίνων ὑμεῖς δέ ἠθελήσατε ἀγαλλιαθῆναι πρός ὥραν ἐν τῷ φωτί αὐτοῦ)

That one here refers to Jesus’ cousin, often referred to as “John the Baptist.” (See: johnthebaptist) If it would be misunderstood to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [John the Baptist] or [John the Immerser]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐκεῖνος ἦν ὁ λύχνος ὁ καιόμενος καὶ φαίνων

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐκεῖνος ἦν ὁ λύχνος ὁ καιόμενος καί φαίνων ὑμεῖς δέ ἠθελήσατε ἀγαλλιαθῆναι πρός ὥραν ἐν τῷ φωτί αὐτοῦ)

Jesus uses the word lamp to refer to John the Baptist. In the way that lamps in those days burned oil and shined light, so John’s teaching helped people understand God’s truth and prepared them to receive Jesus. If this might confuse your readers, you could state this plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: [That one taught you the truth about God] or [That one was like a lamp that was burning and shining]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν τῷ φωτὶ αὐτοῦ

in the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐκεῖνος ἦν ὁ λύχνος ὁ καιόμενος καί φαίνων ὑμεῖς δέ ἠθελήσατε ἀγαλλιαθῆναι πρός ὥραν ἐν τῷ φωτί αὐτοῦ)

Jesus uses the word light to refer to John the Baptist’s teaching. In the way that light enables people to see in the dark, so John’s teaching helped people understand God’s truth and prepared them to receive Jesus. If this might confuse your readers, you could state this plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: [in his teaching] or [in his teaching that was like a light]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

πρὸς ὥραν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἐκεῖνος ἦν ὁ λύχνος ὁ καιόμενος καί φαίνων ὑμεῖς δέ ἠθελήσατε ἀγαλλιαθῆναι πρός ὥραν ἐν τῷ φωτί αὐτοῦ)

Here, hour refers to a short amount of time. It does not mean a 60-minute period of time or a specific point in time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [for a moment]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

5:1-40 This chapter reads like a courtroom drama, with a description of the crime (5:1-15), followed by a decision to prosecute (5:16), a description of the charges (5:18), and Jesus’ defense (5:17, 19-40).
