in in those ¬the days
Jesus is using the term days to refer to a specific time. Alternate translation: “at that time”
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
γὰρ
for
Jesus uses the word For to introduce the reason why it will be very difficult for pregnant women and nursing mothers at this time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could put the sentence that this word introduces first in the verse, since it gives the reason for the results that the other sentence in the verse describes.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
ἔσται & ἀνάγκη μεγάλη ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ὀργὴ τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ
will_be & hardship great on the land and wrath ¬the ˱on˲_people this
If the word land means the people who live in the land (See: note below), then these two phrases mean basically the same thing. Jesus may be using repetition for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these phrases. Alternate translation: “God will angrily punish the people who live in this land by making them suffer greatly”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἔσται & ἀνάγκη μεγάλη ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς
will_be & hardship great on the land
The term land could be: (1) a figurative reference to the people who live there. Alternate translation: “the people who live in this land will suffer greatly” (2) literal. Alternate translation: “there will be physical disasters in the land”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἔσται & ἀνάγκη μεγάλη ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς
will_be & hardship great on the land
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun distress with a verb such as “suffer.” Alternate translation: “the people who live in this land will suffer greatly”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
καὶ ὀργὴ τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ
and and wrath ¬the ˱on˲_people this
Jesus is using the word wrath to mean what God will do in his wrath. Alternate translation: “and God will angrily punish this people”
21:5-38 When Jesus predicted the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem (21:6), his disciples questioned when it would take place and what signs would accompany it (21:7). Jesus responded by describing the events surrounding the destruction of the Temple and the return of the Son of Man (21:8-36). This sermon is known as the Olivet Discourse because the Mount of Olives was the site of Jesus’ teaching (see Matt 24:3; Mark 13:3).
OET (OET-LV) And woe to_the women having child in womb and to_the women nursing in those the days, because/for will_be great hardship on the land, and severe_anger the on_ this _people.
OET (OET-RV) It’ll be so hard for pregnant and breast-feeding women at that time because there’ll be incredible distress in the country and severe anger towards the Jewish people.
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.
