OET (OET-LV) And he answering said to_them:
For/Because_ why _reason also you_all are_breaking_from the command of_ the _god because_of the tradition of_you_all?
OET (OET-RV) “Well why also do you break God’s commandment because of your tradition?” Yeshua responded.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
διὰ τί καὶ ὑμεῖς παραβαίνετε τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ διὰ τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν?
for_reason why also you_all /are/_breaking_from the commandment ¬the ˱of˲_God because_of the tradition ˱of˲_you_all
Jesus is using the question form to rebuke the Pharisees for things that they do. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “You should not transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition.” or “I am shocked that you transgress the commandment of God because of your traditions!”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
διὰ τί καὶ ὑμεῖς παραβαίνετε τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ διὰ τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν
for_reason why also you_all /are/_breaking_from the commandment ¬the ˱of˲_God because_of the tradition ˱of˲_you_all
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the last phrase gives the reason for the result that the rest of the question describes. Alternate translation: “Why, because of your tradition, do you also transgress the commandment of God”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ
the commandment ¬the ˱of˲_God
Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe a commandment that came from God. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the commandment given by God” or “the commandment we received from God”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ
the commandment ¬the ˱of˲_God
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of commandment, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “what God commanded us”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν
the the tradition ˱of˲_you_all
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of tradition, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “what you were taught”
15:1-20 Jesus indicted the Pharisees for disobeying God’s law in their zeal to preserve traditions.
OET (OET-LV) And he answering said to_them:
For/Because_ why _reason also you_all are_breaking_from the command of_ the _god because_of the tradition of_you_all?
OET (OET-RV) “Well why also do you break God’s commandment because of your tradition?” Yeshua responded.
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.
