OET (OET-RV) and whenever you all hear about wars and disturbances, don’t be terrified because all these things do need to happen first, but they don’t mean that the end will be right then.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
πολέμους καὶ ἀκαταστασίας
wars and disturbances
The term wars probably refers to countries fighting against each other, and the term rebellions probably refers to people fighting against their own leaders or against other people in their own countries. Jesus may be using the two terms together to refer generally to violent fighting. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these terms. Alternate translation: “of armed conflicts”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
μὴ πτοηθῆτε
not ˱you_all˲_/may_be/_terrified
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “do not let these things terrify you”
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
δεῖ γὰρ ταῦτα γενέσθαι πρῶτον
˱it˲_/is/_fitting for these_‹things› /to/_become first
If it would be helpful in your language, you could put this phrase before do not be terrified, as UST does, since this phrase gives the reason why followers of Jesus should not be terrified.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ἀλλ’ οὐκ εὐθέως τὸ τέλος
but not immediately_‹is› the end
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from earlier in the sentence. Alternate translation: “but the end will not happen immediately”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὸ τέλος
the end
This implicitly means the end of the world. Alternate translation: “the end of the world”
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 whenever you_all_may_hear wars and disturbances, you_all _may_ not _be_terrified, because/for it_is_fitting these things to_become first, but the end not is immediately.
OET (OET-RV) and whenever you all hear about wars and disturbances, don’t be terrified because all these things do need to happen first, but they don’t mean that the end will be right then.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
