Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical
καὶ ἐὰν ἑπτάκις τῆς ἡμέρας ἁμαρτήσῃ εἰς σὲ, καὶ ἑπτάκις ἐπιστρέψῃ πρὸς σὲ, λέγων μετανοῶ, ἀφήσεις αὐτῷ
and if seven_times ˱in˲_the day ˱he˲_/may/_sin against you and seven_times ˱he˲_/may/_return to you saying ˱I˲_/am/_repenting ˱you˲_/will_be/_forgiving ˱to˲_him
Jesus is describing a hypothetical situation in order to tell his disciples what they should do if it takes place. Alternate translation: [Suppose a fellow believer were to sin against you seven times in the same day. And suppose each time he came to you and said, ‘I am sorry.’ Then you would have to forgive him each time]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἑπτάκις τῆς ἡμέρας & καὶ ἑπτάκις
seven_times ˱in˲_the day & and seven_times
The number seven in the Bible represents a large or sufficient quantity. Alternate translation: [many times in the same day, and each time]
τῆς ἡμέρας
˱in˲_the day
Alternate translation: [in the same day]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd
σὲ & σὲ & ἀφήσεις
you & you & ˱you˲_/will_be/_forgiving
The word you is singular in this verse, since Jesus is addressing an individual situation, even though he is speaking to a group. If these singular forms would not be natural in your language for someone who was speaking to a group of people, you could use plural forms in your translation.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
ἐπιστρέψῃ πρὸς σὲ, λέγων μετανοῶ, ἀφήσεις αὐτῷ
˱he˲_/may/_return to you saying ˱I˲_/am/_repenting ˱you˲_/will_be/_forgiving ˱to˲_him
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [comes to you and says that he is sorry, you must forgive him]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative
ἀφήσεις αὐτῷ
˱you˲_/will_be/_forgiving ˱to˲_him
Jesus is using a future statement to give an instruction and command. Alternate translation: [you must forgive him]
17:4 Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day: Seven is not intended to convey an exact number, but means “many times” (see Ps 119:164). See Matt 18:21-22.
OET (OET-LV) And if he_may_sin against you seven_times in_the day, and seven_times he_may_return to you, saying I_am_repenting, you_will_be_forgiving to_him.
OET (OET-RV) Even if they wrong you seven times in a day and then seven times come and tell you that they’re turning away from it, forgive them.”
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.
