OET (OET-LV) In that the day, who will_be on the housetop, and the goods of_him in his house, him_let_ not _come_down to_take_away them, and the one in the_field, likewise him_let_ not _return to the things back.
OET (OET-RV) “On that day, anyone who’s just outside the house should not go back in to get their valuables. Similarly, anyone who’s out on the farm shouldn’t return to the house to get their possessions.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ
in that ¬the day
Jesus is using the term day to refer to a specific time. Alternate translation: [At that time]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
ὃς ἔσται ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος, καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ, μὴ καταβάτω ἆραι αὐτά
who will_be on the housetop and the goods ˱of˲_him in his house not ˱him˲_/let/_come_down /to/_take_away them
Jesus is speaking of a hypothetical situation that might occur at this time. Alternate translation: [suppose someone is doing something on the roof of his house. Then he should not go inside to get his valuables]
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος
on the housetop
In this culture, housetops were flat and people could go up onto them without being in danger of sliding off. Housetops were used for a variety of purposes, such as storing and ripening grain and fruit, sleeping in hot weather, and gathering in a large open space. If housetops or roofs are different in your culture and your readers would not understand that Jesus is speaking of someone doing an ordinary activity, you could use a general expression in your translation. Alternate translation: [doing something outside the house]
τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ
the goods ˱of˲_him
Alternate translation: [his possessions] or [his valuables]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μὴ καταβάτω ἆραι αὐτά
not ˱him˲_/let/_come_down /to/_take_away them
The implication is that people should flee immediately without even taking the time to secure their valuables. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [he should flee immediately, without going inside to get his valuables]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
καὶ ὁ ἐν ἀγρῷ, ὁμοίως μὴ ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω
and and the_‹one› in /the/_field likewise not ˱him˲_/let/_return to the_‹things› back
Jesus is speaking of a hypothetical situation that might occur at this time. Alternate translation: [and suppose someone is out working in the field. Then he too should not go back into the house for anything]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μὴ ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω
not not ˱him˲_/let/_return to the_‹things› back
The implication once again is that people should flee immediately without even taking the time to secure their valuables. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [he should flee immediately, without going back to the house to get his valuables]
17:20-37 This is the first of two discourses in Luke’s Gospel on the coming of the Kingdom and the return of the Son of Man (see also ch 21).
OET (OET-LV) In that the day, who will_be on the housetop, and the goods of_him in his house, him_let_ not _come_down to_take_away them, and the one in the_field, likewise him_let_ not _return to the things back.
OET (OET-RV) “On that day, anyone who’s just outside the house should not go back in to get their valuables. Similarly, anyone who’s out on the farm shouldn’t return to the house to get their possessions.
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.
