Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
τῷ τύπτοντί σε ἐπὶ τὴν σιαγόνα, πάρεχε καὶ τὴν ἄλλην
˱to˲_the_‹one› striking you on the cheek /be/_bringing_about also the other
Jesus is using a hypothetical situation to teach. Alternate translation: “Suppose someone hits you on one side of your face. Then turn your face so that he could also strike the other side”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd
σε & σου
you & ˱of˲_you
Even though Jesus is still speaking to his disciples and the crowd, he is now addressing an individual situation, so you and your are singular in this verse. But if the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language for someone who was speaking to a group of people, you could use the plural forms in your translation.
ἐπὶ τὴν σιαγόνα
on the cheek
Alternate translation: “on one side of your face”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
πάρεχε καὶ τὴν ἄλλην
/be/_bringing_about also the other
It may be helpful to state the implicit purpose of this action. Alternate translation: “turn your face so that he could also strike the other side, to show that you do not want to fight and you are not resisting”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
ἀπὸ τοῦ αἴροντός σου τὸ ἱμάτιον, καὶ τὸν χιτῶνα μὴ κωλύσῃς
from the_‹one› taking_away ˱of˲_you ¬the /the/_coat also the tunic not ˱you˲_/may/_forbid
Jesus is using another hypothetical situation to teach. Alternate translation: “suppose someone takes away your cloak. Then give him your tunic as well”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes
καὶ τὸν χιτῶνα μὴ κωλύσῃς
also and also the tunic not ˱you˲_/may/_forbid
Here Jesus uses a figure of speech that expresses a positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of the intended meaning. Alternate translation: “give him your tunic as well”
6:17-49 The central theme of Jesus’ great sermon is that an authentic life of righteousness accompanies repentance and acceptance into God’s Kingdom.
OET (OET-LV) To_the one striking you on the cheek, be_bringing_about also the other, and from the one taking_away the the_coat of_you, also you_may_ not _forbid the tunic.
OET (OET-RV) When someone slaps you on the face, offer them the other side, and when someone forces you to hand over your coat, don’t resist if they want your shirt as well.
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.
