OET (OET-LV) Therefore be_watching_out how you_all_are_hearing, because/for whoever wishfully may_be_having, will_be_being_given to_him, and whoever wishfully may_ not _be_having, even what he_is_supposing to_be_having will_be_being_taken_away from him.
OET (OET-RV) “So take care in what you listen to, because anyone who has now, will be given more, and anyone who doesn’t have, whatever they think they do have will be taken away from them.”
βλέπετε οὖν πῶς ἀκούετε
/be/_watching_out therefore how ˱you_all˲_/are/_hearing
The phrase be careful does not mean that listening is dangerous. Rather, it means that people should listen carefully, because, as Jesus has just said, God wants to reveal spiritual secrets. Alternate translation: “so make sure that you listen well” or “so listen carefully and reflect on what you hear”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὃς ἂν & ἔχῃ, δοθήσεται αὐτῷ
whoever ¬wishfully & /may_be/_having /will_be_being/_given ˱to˲_him
The implication in context is that the phrase whoever has, it will be given to him refers to understanding and believing. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “whoever seeks sincerely to understand will be given more understanding”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὃς ἂν & ἔχῃ, δοθήσεται αὐτῷ
whoever ¬wishfully & /may_be/_having /will_be_being/_given ˱to˲_him
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “whoever seeks sincerely to understand will understand better” or “God will give greater understanding to anyone who seeks sincerely to understand”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καὶ ὃς ἂν μὴ ἔχῃ, καὶ ὃ δοκεῖ ἔχειν ἀρθήσεται ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ
and whoever ¬wishfully not /may_be/_having even what ˱he˲_/is/_supposing /to_be/_having /will_be_being/_taken_away from him
The implication once again is that the phrase whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him refers to understanding and believing. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “But whoever does not have understanding, even what understanding he thinks he has will be taken away from him”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
καὶ ὃς ἂν μὴ ἔχῃ, καὶ ὃ δοκεῖ ἔχειν ἀρθήσεται ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ
and whoever ¬wishfully not /may_be/_having even what ˱he˲_/is/_supposing /to_be/_having /will_be_being/_taken_away from him
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “whoever presumes that he already understands will understand less and less” or “God will not give greater understanding to anyone who presumes that he already understands”
OET (OET-LV) Therefore be_watching_out how you_all_are_hearing, because/for whoever wishfully may_be_having, will_be_being_given to_him, and whoever wishfully may_ not _be_having, even what he_is_supposing to_be_having will_be_being_taken_away from him.
OET (OET-RV) “So take care in what you listen to, because anyone who has now, will be given more, and anyone who doesn’t have, whatever they think they do have will be taken away from them.”
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.
