ἄνθρωπε
man
Here Jesus is using the impersonal term Man to put some social distance between himself and the questioner, by contrast with the way he called his disciples “friends” in 12:4. He is effectively rebuking the man for asking such a question. Your language might have a way of addressing people in a similar situation. Alternate translation: [Mister]
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τίς με κατέστησεν κριτὴν ἢ μεριστὴν ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς?
who me appointed /a/_judge or arbitrator over you_all
Jesus is using the question form to rebuke the man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement. Alternate translation: [no one appointed me to be a judge or mediator over you.]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
κριτὴν ἢ μεριστὴν
/a/_judge or arbitrator
These two terms mean similar things. Jesus may be using them together for emphasis as he rebukes this man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate them with a single word that would carry the meaning of both terms. Alternate translation: [an arbitrator]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
κριτὴν ἢ μεριστὴν
/a/_judge or arbitrator
Jesus could also be using these two words to express a single idea. The term mediator may explain for what purpose a person was appointed as a judge, specifically, to settle disputes. Alternate translation: [a judge who settles disputes]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual
ὑμᾶς
you_all
The term you refers to the man and his brother. It would be in the dual form if your language uses that form. Otherwise, it would be plural.
12:13-21 This parable shows the danger of trusting in riches instead of in God.
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.
