OET (OET-LV) And the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) answering said:
Oh unbelieving generation and having_been_perverted, until when will_ I _be with you_all?
Until when ˓will˒_I_be_tolerating of_you_all?
Be_bringing him here to_me.

OET (OET-RV) “Oh you unbelieving and depraved generation,” Yeshua answered, “how much longer will I have to be with you all? How much longer can I tolerate you all? Bring your son here to me.”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 17:14–20: Jesus healed a boy whom a demon controlled

In 10:1 Jesus had given power to his twelve disciples to cast out demons and heal sick people. Then the disciples went out in groups of two and did those things (Mark 6:7–13). But in this section, they could not cast out a demon that caused a boy to have severe physical problems. Only Jesus was able to force the demon to leave the boy. This story shows that the disciples’ faith was not yet strong.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus Cures A Demon-Possessed Boy (GW)

The Healing of a Boy With a Demon (NIV)

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 9:14–29 and at Luke 9:37–43.

17:17a

“O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied.

O: The Greek word that the BSB translates as O was used when someone addressed another person or group and was feeling strong emotion at the time. Some English translations substitute a pronoun for this word to achieve a similar effect. For example:

You unbelieving and perverted generation (NASB)

unbelieving: The Greek word that the BSB translates as unbelieving can also be translated as “faithless.” It refers to a lack of trust in God.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

faithless (ESV)

You people have no faith (NCV)

perverse: The Greek word that the BSB translates as perverse describes a person whose thinking and behavior are against God’s desires. He has strayed from doing what is right.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

corrupt (NLT)

you have strayed off the right path

you don’t know what is right

generation: The Greek word that the BSB translates as generation refers to all the members of a particular group (like a tribe or a country) alive at the same time. Here Jesus apparently included the disciples who could not heal the boy in that group.

Here is another way to translate this word:

people (GNT)

Jesus replied: Here Jesus did not answer a question. He responded to the man’s statement and plea for help. So here are some other ways to begin this verse:

Jesus answered (ESV)

Jesus said (CEV)

17:17b

“How long must I remain with you?

How long must I remain with you?: This is a rhetorical question. Jesus used this rhetorical question to rebuke the people he was talking to, especially his disciples. He also used it to express his frustration with them. They should have had faith, but they did not.

Here are some other ways to translate this rebuke:

Translate this rebuke and frustration in a way that is natural in your language.

How long: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as How long could also be translated as “until when.” Jesus used this phrase to indicate his frustration with the people’s lack of progress.

Here is another way to translate this phrase:

How much longer (NET)

must I remain with you: This phrase means “to live among you.” Jesus’ question could imply that their unbelief would force him to stay longer than necessary. Some English translations try to communicate this idea. For example:

how long must I stay with you (GNT)

17:17c

How long must I put up with you?

How long must I put up with you?: This is a rhetorical question. It is similar to the previous rhetorical question. Jesus used this rhetorical question to rebuke the people he was talking to, especially his disciples. He also used it to express his frustration with them. They should have had faith, but they did not.

Here are some other ways to translate this rebuke:

Translate this rebuke and frustration in a way that is natural in your language.

must I put up with you: The Greek word that the BSB translates as put up with means “to endure/tolerate.” Jesus had to endure the people’s unbelief. As with the previous rhetorical question, Jesus implies that their unbelief would force him to endure them longer than necessary

17:17d

Bring the boy here to Me.”

In 17:17d Jesus suddenly switched from rebuking people to giving them a command. In some languages, it may be more natural to introduce this command. For example:

Then Jesus said to them

Then Jesus told them

Bring the boy here to Me: In Greek, the word Bring is plural. This means that Jesus commanded several people to bring the boy to him. Jesus was not just speaking to the boy’s father.

Here are some other ways to translate this command:

Take him here to me.

Come with the boy to me.

The next verse shows that the people did what Jesus commanded and brought the boy to him. If that would not be clear from the context in your language, you may need to make it more explicit. For example:

So they brought the boy to him.

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν Ὦ γενεά ἄπιστος καί διεστραμμένη ἕως πότε μεθʼ ὑμῶν ἔσομαι Ἕως πότε ἀνέξομαι ὑμῶν Φέρετε μοί αὐτόν ὧδε)

Here, the word But introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [Then]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / apostrophe

ὦ γενεὰ ἄπιστος καὶ διεστραμμένη, ἕως πότε μεθ’ ὑμῶν ἔσομαι? ἕως πότε ἀνέξομαι ὑμῶν?

Jesus is speaking to something that he knows cannot hear him. He is addressing the entire generation of people who were living at that time, and they are not all present to hear him. He is doing this to show in a very strong way how he feels about this generation. He is actually speaking to the people who can hear him, the crowd that has gathered there. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate Jesus’ words as if he were speaking directly to the disciples and the crowd, since they are included in the generation that Jesus is addressing. Alternate translation: [You who are part of this unbelieving and perverse generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you?]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὦ γενεὰ ἄπιστος καὶ διεστραμμένη

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν Ὦ γενεά ἄπιστος καί διεστραμμένη ἕως πότε μεθʼ ὑμῶν ἔσομαι Ἕως πότε ἀνέξομαι ὑμῶν Φέρετε μοί αὐτόν ὧδε)

Here, generation represents the people who are part of the generation, which means that they are adults who are currently alive. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar expression in [11:16](../11/16.md). Alternate translation: [O today’s people who are unbelieving and perverted] or [O unbelieving and perverted people of this generation]

Jesus is using the question form to rebuke the disciples and the crowds and to show how frustrated he is by them. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate these as statements or exclamations. Alternate translation: [I do not want to be with you for long. I do not want to bear with you for long.] or [I want to leave you! I want to stop bearing with you!]

Alternate translation: [how long … How long]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀνέξομαι ὑμῶν

˱I˲_˓will_be˒_tolerating ˱of˲_you_all

Here, the phrase bear with refers to being charitable or kind to someone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase. Alternate translation: [will I be charitable to you] or [will I act kindly with you]

The pronoun him refers to the boy who was epileptic. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to him more directly. Alternate translation: [the boy] or [the epileptic]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

17:17 faithless and corrupt people: The expression is often used for moral depravity (see Deut 32:5, 19-22). Normally, this exclamation of Jesus was directed at the unbelieving Jewish crowds or leaders who refuse to acknowledge God’s presence in him (see Matt 12:39). Here, however, it was a sharp criticism of his disciples’ failure to trust Jesus and his saving, healing power.

OET (OET-LV) And the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) answering said:
Oh unbelieving generation and having_been_perverted, until when will_ I _be with you_all?
Until when ˓will˒_I_be_tolerating of_you_all?
Be_bringing him here to_me.

OET (OET-RV) “Oh you unbelieving and depraved generation,” Yeshua answered, “how much longer will I have to be with you all? How much longer can I tolerate you all? Bring your son here to me.”

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.

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
