γὰρ
for
Jesus is giving the reason why his disciples should do what he told them in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could put this reason before the result by creating a verse bridge. You could combine 21:14 and 21:15, putting all of 21:15 first, followed by all of 21:14. You could begin 21:15 with “Since” and have no introductory word for 21:14, or you could have no introductory word for 21:15 and begin 21:14 with “So.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
στόμα καὶ σοφίαν
/a/_mouth and wisdom
Jesus is using the term mouth to refer to speech. Alternate translation: [speech and wisdom]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
στόμα καὶ σοφίαν
/a/_mouth and wisdom
The phrase a mouth and wisdom expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word wisdom describes what kind of speech Jesus will give the disciples. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [wise things to say] or [wise responses]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
ᾗ οὐ δυνήσονται ἀντιστῆναι ἢ ἀντειπεῖν, πάντες οἱ ἀντικείμενοι ὑμῖν
˱to˲_which not ˱they˲_/will_be/_able /to/_resist or /to/_speak_against all the_‹ones› opposing ˱to˲_you_all
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning of the negative word not combined with the negative verbs resist and contradict as a single positive statement. (See note just below explaining that these two verbs likely form a doublet.) Alternate translation: [that all of your adversaries will have to agree are true]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ἀντιστῆναι ἢ ἀντειπεῖν
/to/_resist or /to/_speak_against
The terms resist and contradict mean basically the same thing. Jesus is likely using repetition for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these terms into a single, equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [to deny]
21:15 I will give you the right words: God often assured his prophets that he would give them the words to say (Exod 4:12, 15; Deut 18:18; Isa 50:4; 51:16; Jer 1:9). Jesus’ disciples were to prepare themselves to be clear witnesses (see Col 4:5-6; 2 Tim 2:21; 1 Pet 3:15), knowing that the Spirit would help them to respond as powerfully as Jesus had done (Luke 20:20-44).
OET (OET-LV) for/because I will_be_giving a_mouth and wisdom to_you_all, to_which they will_ not _be_able to_resist or to_speak_against all the ones opposing to_you_all.
OET (OET-RV) because I’ll give you the words to say and wisdom which all of those opposing you won’t be able to resist or speak against.
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.
