OET (OET-LV) I_am_saying to_you_all, in_this the night will_be two on one bed, the one will_be_being_taken, and the other will_be_being_left.
OET (OET-RV) I’m telling you, two people will be in one bed on that night and one will be taken and the other one will be left behind.
λέγω ὑμῖν
˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all
Jesus says this to emphasize what he is about to tell his disciples. Alternate translation: “Indeed”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ ἔσονται δύο ἐπὶ κλίνης μιᾶς
˱in˲_this ¬the night will_be two on bed one
Jesus is speaking of a hypothetical situation that might occur at this time. It may be helpful to make this a separate sentence. Alternate translation: “suppose this were to happen at night, and suppose there were two people sleeping in the same bed”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
ἐπὶ κλίνης μιᾶς
on bed one
If your readers would not be familiar with what a bed is, you could use the name of the sleeping furniture that people in your own culture use, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “sleeping on one mat” or “sleeping side by side” or “sleeping in the same place”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὁ εἷς παραλημφθήσεται, καὶ ὁ ἕτερος ἀφεθήσεται
the one /will_be_being/_taken and the other /will_be_being/_left
If it would be helpful in your language, you could use active forms for both of these verbs, and you could state who would do the actions. This could mean: (1) the person who is taken may be one whom God takes out of a situation in which they would be destroyed, as God brought Lot out of Sodom, and the person who is left may be one who remains in a situation where they will be destroyed, like the people who remained in Sodom. That is the interpretation of UST. Alternate translation: “God will spare one of them but destroy the other” (2) in the parallel to this passage in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus says that the people living in Noah’s time “knew nothing until the flood came and took them all away” (Matthew 24:39 ULT). So the person who is taken may actually be one whom God destroys, and the one who is left may be one whom God spares and allows to remain alive. Alternate translation: “God will destroy one of them but spare the other”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
ὁ εἷς παραλημφθήσεται
the one /will_be_being/_taken
If you translated the first sentence in this verse as the condition of a hypothetical situation, translate this sentence as the result of that condition. Alternate translation: “Then one of them will be taken”
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) I_am_saying to_you_all, in_this the night will_be two on one bed, the one will_be_being_taken, and the other will_be_being_left.
OET (OET-RV) I’m telling you, two people will be in one bed on that night and one will be taken and the other one will be left behind.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
