OET (OET-LV) Truly, truly, I_am_saying to_you_all, if anyone may_keep the my message, by_no_means he_may_ not _observe death to the age.

OET (OET-RV) I can assure you, that anyone who puts my teaching into practice can be certain to avoid death in this age.”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:39–59: Abraham saw Jesus

In this section Jesus continued to speak to those who did not believe in him. Although they said that they were Abraham’s children and that God was their Father, they did not do what those people would. They did not accept Jesus’ teaching and wanted to kill him. So he said that their real father was the devil, who was a murderer and a liar.

They replied that he was a Samaritan and had a demon. Jesus denied that and said that if they accepted what he said, they would never die. They said that Abraham died and asked if he was greater than him. Jesus replied that he knew Abraham and existed before him. Then they wanted to throw stones at Jesus, but he hid.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Those who rejected Jesus had the devil for a father

Jesus existed before Abraham

Paragraph 8:48–51

Jesus’ opponents became angry and began to insult him. They said that he had a demon. Jesus continued to say that he knew God and that God honored him just as he honored the Father. Jesus said that people who kept his word will not die.

8:51a

Truly, truly, I tell you,

Truly, truly, I tell you: This expression introduces important information Jesus wanted to emphasize. See also the notes on 3:3a and 3:5a. The expression here is the same as there, except that here the pronoun you is plural. Here is another way to translate this expression:

I tell you the truth (NIV)

8:51b

if anyone keeps My word, he will never see death.”

if anyone keeps My word: This expression refers to someone who accepts and does what Jesus says. For example:

Whoever obeys what I say (GW)

if anyone follows my teaching

he will never see death: This expression means that this person will never die. The statement is emphasized and can be more literally translated as “will never see death forever.” Jesus was referring to spiritual death, the eternal death that means that one is separated from God. But his listeners did not understand this, and you should not make this explicit. For example:

will never die (NLT)

General Comment on 8:51

In some languages it may be natural to use the second-person pronoun as the subject. For example:

if you obey my words, you will never die (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀμήν ἀμήν λέγω ὑμῖν ἐάν τὶς τόν ἐμόν λόγον τηρήσῃ θάνατον οὒ μή θεωρήσῃ εἰς τόν αἰῶνα)

Jesus uses this phrase to emphasize the truth of the statement that follows. See how you translated this phrase in [1:51](../01/51.md).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸν ἐμὸν λόγον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀμήν ἀμήν λέγω ὑμῖν ἐάν τὶς τόν ἐμόν λόγον τηρήσῃ θάνατον οὒ μή θεωρήσῃ εἰς τόν αἰῶνα)

Here, word refers to the message or teachings of Jesus. See how you translated this phrase in [5:24](../05/24.md). Alternate translation: [my message] or [what I say]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

θάνατον οὐ μὴ θεωρήσῃ

death (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀμήν ἀμήν λέγω ὑμῖν ἐάν τὶς τόν ἐμόν λόγον τηρήσῃ θάνατον οὒ μή θεωρήσῃ εἰς τόν αἰῶνα)

Jesus uses see to refer to experiencing or participating in something. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he will certainly not experience death]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

θάνατον οὐ μὴ θεωρήσῃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

death (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀμήν ἀμήν λέγω ὑμῖν ἐάν τὶς τόν ἐμόν λόγον τηρήσῃ θάνατον οὒ μή θεωρήσῃ εἰς τόν αἰῶνα)

Jesus uses death to refer to spiritual death, which is eternal punishment in hell that occurs after physical death. However, the Jews did not understand this. Therefore, you do not need to explain its meaning further here. Alternate translation: [he will certainly not die]
