OET (OET-RV) Two people will be preparing food at the same place and one will be taken and the other one will be left behind.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
ἔσονται δύο ἀλήθουσαι ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό
will_be two grinding at the same_‹place›
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 that when this happens, two women are grinding grain together]
δύο
two
The verb is feminine, so this means “two women.” (In 17:34 and 17:36, grammatically masculine forms are used, but conventionally in Greek that means that the people are not known to be all women; they could be men or women, so a general term such as “people” would be appropriate in those verses.) Alternate translation: [two women]
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
ἀλήθουσαι
grinding
The term grinding refers to the process of breaking up grain into very small pieces so that it can be used for cooking. If your readers would not be familiar with grain, you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: [grinding grain] or [preparing food]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἡ μία παραλημφθήσεται, ἡ δὲ ἑτέρα ἀφεθήσεται
the one /will_be_being/_taken the 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. See how you decided to translate this in 17:34. Alternate translation: [God will spare one of them but destroy the other] or [God will destroy one of them but spare the other]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
ἡ μία 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) Two will_be grinding at the same place, the one will_be_being_taken, and the the_other will_be_being_left.
OET (OET-RV) Two people will be preparing food at the same place 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 Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
