OET (OET-LV) But you_all not thus, but the greater among you_all, him _let_be_becoming as the younger, and the one leading, as the one serving.
OET (OET-RV) But all of you shouldn’t be like that, but rather the greatest one of you should become like the youngest, and the one who leads you all should become like the servant.
ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐχ οὕτως
you_all but not thus
Alternate translation: “But you should not act like that”
ὁ μείζων ἐν ὑμῖν, γενέσθω ὡς ὁ νεώτερος
the greater among you_all the the_‹one› the_‹one› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐχ οὕτως ἀλλʼ ὁ μείζων ἐν ὑμῖν γινέσθω ὡς ὁ νεώτερος καὶ ὁ ἡγούμενος ὡς ὁ διακονῶν)
As the last note to 22:24 discusses, your language might naturally use the superlative form of these adjectives rather than the comparative form. Alternate translation: “let the greatest one among you become like the youngest one”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
ὁ μείζων & ὁ νεώτερος
the greater & the younger
Jesus is using the adjectives greater and younger as nouns to describe types of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these with equivalent expressions. Alternate translation: “the greatest one … the youngest one”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ὁ νεώτερος
the the younger
This culture respected older people and followed them as leaders. Jesus is referring to a person who was less important and influential by association with the fact that this would be the case if they were younger. Alternate translation: “the least important one”
ὁ διακονῶν
the the the_‹one› the_‹one› serving
Alternate translation: “a servant”
22:7-30 Jesus celebrated the traditional Jewish Passover but transformed it with reference to his own sacrificial death as the Passover lamb. He also prepared his disciples for his coming death and the leadership role they would assume over his church.
OET (OET-LV) But you_all not thus, but the greater among you_all, him _let_be_becoming as the younger, and the one leading, as the one serving.
OET (OET-RV) But all of you shouldn’t be like that, but rather the greatest one of you should become like the youngest, and the one who leads you all should become like the servant.
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.
