OET (OET-LV) for/because all these throw in their gifts out_of the wealth being_plentiful to_them, but this woman throw out_of the need of_her, all the living which she_was_having.

OET (OET-RV) because they all donated out of their plentiful wealth, but she in her poverty, gave her food budget.”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 21:1–4: Jesus praised a widow because she gave all her money to God

In this section, a poor widow gave all the money that she had as an offering to God. Jesus praised her for doing that. He contrasted her gift with the gifts that the rich people gave. They gave greater amounts of money, but the widow gave God all the money that she had.

Jesus praised the widow on the same day that he criticized the scribes in the preceding section. In 20:47 Jesus said that the scribes “devour widow’s houses.” Most of the scribes were rich people. There is a strong contrast between the scribes and the widow. The scribes served God in order to impress other people, but the widow served him sincerely.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it. Examples of other headings for this section are:

A poor widow gave a generous gift to/for the temple

Jesus compared the gifts given to God by the rich to the gift given by a poor widow

The widow’s gift/offering

There is a parallel passage for this section in Mark 12:41–44.

21:4a

For they all contributed out of their surplus,

For: This verse explains what Jesus said in 21:3b. In Greek it begins with a conjunction that the BSB translates as For. In some languages this connection may be implied without a conjunction. For example:

All these people… (NIV)

Use a natural way in your language to indicate that 21:4 is an explanation for 21:3.

they all: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as they all refers back to “all the others” in 21:3b. These others were the rich people who were giving gifts of money to God. The phrase they all contrasts with the widow in 21:4b. It does not include her. Some other ways to translate the phrase are:

Everyone else (CEV)

All these people (NIV)

Be sure that the contrast with the widow is clear in your translation.

contributed out of their surplus: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as surplus means “more than enough.”See perisseuō, meaning 1a, in BDAG, p. 805. It indicates here that the rich people had more than enough money. The clause indicates that after they gave some money to God, they still had plenty of money to use for whatever they wanted. Other ways to say this are:

have given a tiny part of their surplus (NLT)

have given had more than enough (REB)

contributed: The word contributed refers here to the act of giving the money that the rich people put into the temple treasury as offerings.Some Greek manuscripts and the Majority Text include the words “for/to God” after the word “contributed.” The UBS text does not include them. Metzger (2nd edition, p. 146) says that the words “for/to God” “seem to be a scribal explanation appended…for the sake of Gentile readers….” However, the meaning “for/to God” is certainly implied, so it is fine to include it in the translation if it is needed for naturalness or clarity. Refer to them in a natural way in your language.

In some languages it may not be necessary to include this phrase, because it is implied in the context. For example:

for those others who have given had more than enough (REB)

21:4b

but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”

but she out of her poverty: The word she refers to the widow in contrast to the rich people. The phrase her poverty contrasts with the “surplus” of the rich people.

The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as out of her poverty is literally “out of her lack.” It indicates that the widow did not have enough money to buy what she really needed. It is good to use a phrase that contrasts with the wealth of the other people who gave.

Some other ways to translate but she out of her poverty are:

but although she is so needy, she gave

but she has less than she needs, yet she gave

This woman is very poor, but she gave (NCV)

has put in: The Greek verb that the BSB translates here as has put in is the same verb that it translated as “contributed” in 21:4a. In this context it refers to giving the offering, specifically to dropping it into the offering box. In some languages it may be helpful to use the same verb in both clauses to make the contrast clear.

all she had to live on: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as all she had to live on refers to the money that the widow could have used to buy food. She needed that money to survive, but she gave it all as an offering. She had nothing left to buy the things that she needed. Some other ways to translate this are:

all the money that she had, though she needed it to survive/live

all the living that she had (RSV)

everything she had to live on (GW)

OET (OET-LV) for/because all these throw in their gifts out_of the wealth being_plentiful to_them, but this woman throw out_of the need of_her, all the living which she_was_having.

OET (OET-RV) because they all donated out of their plentiful wealth, but she in her poverty, gave her food budget.”

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.

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
