Note 1 topic: writing-newevent
ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ
at that ¬the time
The phrase At that time introduces a new event that happened some time after the events the story has just related. The story does not say how long after those events this new event happened. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a new event. Alternate translation: “Soon after that,” or “Then,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
τοῖς Σάββασιν
˱on˲_the Sabbaths
Here Matthew uses the phrase on the Sabbaths to indicate that this event occurred on one specific Sabbath day. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “on one of the Sabbath days” or “during a Sabbath day”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
τῶν σπορίμων
the grainfields
The word grainfields refers to places where grain is grown and harvested. This grain is usually ground and made into bread. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of field, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “fields where grain is grown”
Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
δὲ
and
Here, the word but introduces a contrast with how people were expected to behave on the Sabbaths, which included not picking grain or other crops. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces this contrast. Alternate translation: “but, even though it was the Sabbath,” or “and, despite the fact that it was the Sabbath,”
Note 5 topic: translate-unknown
στάχυας
heads_of_grain
The heads are the topmost part of the grain plant, which is a kind of tall grass. The heads hold the mature grain or seeds of the plant, which are the parts that people eat. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this more explicitly. Alternate translation: “the tops of the grain plants” or “the edible parts of the grain plants”
12:1 The Sabbath, the seventh day of the week, was to be a day of complete rest according to Old Testament laws (Gen 2:2-3; Exod 20:8-11). The Sabbath is fulfilled in Christ (cp. Heb 4:1-11).
OET (OET-LV) At that the time, the Yaʸsous was_gone on_the days_of_rest through the grainfields, and the the_apprentices/followers of_him hungered, and began to_be_plucking heads_of_grain and to_be_eating.
OET (OET-RV) At that time, Yeshua was going through some fields of grain on a rest day, and his apprentices were hungry and began to pluck some heads of grain and crunch 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.
