OET (OET-RV) Then Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) called out loudly, “Father, I’m entrusting my spirit into your care.” and after saying that, he stopped breathing.
While Jesus was on the cross, it became dark. The curtain in the temple ripped into two pieces. Jesus gave his spirit up to God his Father and died. One of the Roman soldiers saw and heard all that happened. As a result, he believed that Jesus was a righteous man. When the people saw that, they were sorry that Jesus was crucified. The way Jesus lived and the way he died showed many people that he was an innocent man. Examples of other headings for this section are:
The Death of Jesus (GNT)
Jesus died
Parallel passages for this section are in Matthew 27:45–56, Mark 15:33–41, and John 19:28–30.
Then Jesus called out in a loud voice,
Jesus called loudly to God,
After that, Jesus prayed loudly, saying,
Then Jesus called out in a loud voice: This clause introduces the words that Jesus called out to God as he died. In Greek the clause begins with the common conjunction that is often translated as “and.” The BSB translates this conjunction as Then. The phrase that the BSB translates in a loud voice indicates that Jesus said or shouted the words loudly. The phrase does not imply that he was angry.
Some other says to translate the clause are:
Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said (NET)
After this, Jesus prayed loudly to God, saying
“Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.”
“Father, I give/entrust my spirit/life to you(sing)!”
“My Father, I entrust myself to you(sing)!”
Father: Here Jesus prayed to God. He addressed God as Father. In some languages it may be helpful to make this explicit. For example:
Father God
God my Father
into Your hands I commit My Spirit: In this prayer Jesus entrusted his spirit to God to care for him and protect him. The phrase into Your hands is a metaphor. It represents God himself or his loving care. Some other ways to translate the prayer are:
into your hands I entrust my spirit (GW)
I commit my spirit into your care
I give my soul into your holding/powerYakan back translation on TW.
My Spirit: The phrase My Spirit refers to Jesus himself but does not include his physical body. He was about to leave his body and go to God. Express this in a natural way in your language. For example:
I put myself in your hands! (CEV)
I entrust myself to you.
I give you my life. (NCV)
And when He had said this, He breathed His last.
After saying this, he breathed his last breath and died.
As soon as he said this, he died.
He breathed His last: The Greek word that the BSB translates as He breathed His last means “he died.” Translate that meaning in a natural way in your language for this context. If you have a gentle way in your language to say that someone has died, you may be able to use it here.
