OET interlinear LUKE 20:34

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου γαμοῦσιν καὶ γαμίσκονται

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς Οἱ υἱοί τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου γαμοῦσιν καί γαμίσκονται)

In this culture, the idiom was to say that men married their wives and that women were given in marriage to their husbands by their parents. If your culture does not use different expressions like that, you could use a single term here. Alternate translation: [The people of this present world get married]

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς Οἱ υἱοί τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου γαμοῦσιν καί γαμίσκονται)

If your language does not use passive verbal forms, but your culture does use different expressions for men and women when they marry, you can use two different active verbal forms here, and you can state who does the action in the second case. Alternate translation: [In this present world, men marry wives and parents give their daughters in marriage to husbands]
