every kingdom against itself /having_been/_divided /is_being/_desolated
If it would be helpful in your language, you could use active verbs to express the ideas behind the two passive verb forms divided and is made desolate. Alternate translation: “If the people of a kingdom fight among themselves, they will destroy their own kingdom”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
βασιλεία
kingdom
Jesus uses the term kingdom to refer to the people who live in it. Alternate translation: “the people of a kingdom”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
οἶκος ἐπὶ οἶκον πίπτει
/a/_house against /a/_house /is/_falling
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages in order to be complete. The sense of divided can be supplied from the previous phrase. Alternate translation: “any house that is divided against itself will collapse”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
οἶκος ἐπὶ οἶκον πίπτει
/a/_house against /a/_house /is/_falling
The term house refers to the people of a family who live in the same house. Alternate translation: “if family members fight against each other, they will ruin their family”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
πίπτει
/is/_falling
This image of a house collapsing depicts the destruction of a family when the members fight against each other. Alternate translation: “will ruin the family”
11:17 He knew their thoughts: See 5:22; 7:40; 9:47.
• Any kingdom divided by civil war: Jesus’ first response to the accusation was that he could not be working for Satan; he was tearing down Satan’s kingdom by casting out demons.
