γὰρ
for
Here, the word For introduces a further explanation of what Jesus said in the previous verse about the day of judgment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a further explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “Indeed,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
ἐκ & τῶν λόγων σου δικαιωθήσῃ, καὶ ἐκ τῶν λόγων σου καταδικασθήσῃ
by & the words ˱of˲_you ˱you˲_/will_be_being/_justified and by the words ˱of˲_you ˱you˲_/will_be_being/_convicted
These two clauses use the same form to give two options. The second provides a contrasting alternative to the first. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine parts of the two clauses together to form a natural contrast in your language. Alternate translation: “by your words you will be justified or condemned” or “by your words either you will be justified or you will be condemned”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd
τῶν λόγων σου δικαιωθήσῃ & τῶν λόγων σου καταδικασθήσῃ
the words ˱of˲_you ˱you˲_/will_be_being/_justified & the words ˱of˲_you ˱you˲_/will_be_being/_convicted
Even though Jesus is speaking to many people, he is addressing an individual situation, so your and you are singular throughout this verse. But if the singular form would not be natural in your language for someone who was speaking to a group of people, you could use the plural forms of you and your in your translation.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
δικαιωθήσῃ & καταδικασθήσῃ
˱you˲_/will_be_being/_justified & ˱you˲_/will_be_being/_convicted
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, it is clear from the context that it is God. Alternate translation: “God will justify you … God will condemn you”
12:22-45 The Messiah was rejected by the Pharisees, the teachers of religious law, and his own generation.
OET (OET-LV) For/Because you_will_be_being_justified by the messages of_you, and you_will_be_being_convicted by the messages of_you.
OET (OET-RV) because you’ll be either be convicted, or be declared guiltless, by the things that you yourself have said.”
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.
