SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 11:25–30: Jesus promised rest for the weary

In this section, Jesus prayed to God. He also invited people who were tired from following the law to come to him for rest.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus Offers Rest to People (NCV)

Come to Me and Rest (GNT)

Jesus offers rest to weary people

11:26

Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.

Father, you did this because it was your will/desire.”
My Father, doing it this/that way pleased you.”

Yes, Father: Jesus used the word Yes to summarize and confirm what he said in 11:25. In many languages, the word Yes is only used to answer a question. If that is true in your language, you should find another way to translate this word. For example:

Father, you have done that

My Father, this is true

for: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as for indicates that the rest of 11:26 is the reason that God hid things from wise people and revealed them to people who are like children.

Here is another way to translate this conjunction:

because

this was well-pleasing in Your sight: This clause means that it was God’s will to hide those truths from some people and reveal them to others. It was his will/desire to do it that way. It made him happy.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

it pleased you to do it this way (NLT)

this is what you really wanted (NCV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ναί

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ναί ὁ Πατήρ ὅτι οὕτως εὐδοκία ἐγένετο ἔμπροσθεν σοῦ)

The word Yes emphasizes that God has indeed done what Jesus said he had in the previous verse. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [You have indeed done that] or [You have done those things]

Note 2 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

ὁ Πατήρ

¬the Father

Father is an important title that describes the relationship between God the Father and Jesus the Son.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἔμπροσθέν σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ναί ὁ Πατήρ ὅτι οὕτως εὐδοκία ἐγένετο ἔμπροσθεν σοῦ)

The phrase before you indicates that it is well-pleasing according to God’s evaluation or judgment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [in your sight] or [in your judgment]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ναί ὁ Πατήρ ὅτι οὕτως εὐδοκία ἐγένετο ἔμπροσθεν σοῦ)

Because Jesus is praying to God the Father, you here is singular.
