OET (OET-LV) The young_man is_saying to_him:
I_kept all These things, what am_I_lacking still?

OET (OET-RV) “I’ve kept all of those,” the young man said, “so what else do I need to do?”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 19:16–30: Jesus taught about entering the kingdom of heaven

In this section, a young man asked Jesus what he must do to get eternal life. Jesus gave him a standard answer, which was to obey God’s commands.

The young man apparently felt that this was not enough and asked what else he should do (19:20). Then Jesus told him to sell his possessions, give the money to the poor, and follow him. The young man was rich, and he was not willing to sell his things. So he left.

Jesus then used the rich young man as an example. He explained that riches make it difficult to enter the kingdom (19:23–24). The saying of a camel going through the eye of a needle was probably a well-known proverb about something impossible to do. Without God making it possible, neither a rich person nor anyone else is able to enter the kingdom (19:26).

Jesus also gave a promise that those whom he asked to leave their possessions and family behind to serve him would receive great rewards (19:29).

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The Rich Young Man (NIV)

A rich young man’s questions

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 10:17–31 and Luke 18:18–30.

19:20a

“All these I have kept,” said the young man.

All these I have kept: Some later manuscripts added the words “from my youth” to the text. The UBS editors rejected this as not original with near certainty. As in 19:17c, the Greek verb that the BSB translates as kept means “obeyed” or “followed.” The context implies that the young man felt that he had always followed all these commandments.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

I have obeyed all these commandments (GNT)

I have carefully followed all of those commands/laws

the young man: The Greek word that the BSB translates as young man refers to a relatively young man. He was perhaps between the ages of 21 and 28. This is the same person who asked Jesus the question in 19:16a.

19:20b

“What do I still lack?”

What do I still lack?: The Greek word that the BSB translates as lack means “miss something that is to one’s benefit.” The young man asked what more he needed to do have eternal life (19:16).

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

What is still missing in my life? (JBP)

What more do I need to do? (NJB)

What else must I do? (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-tense

λέγει

˓is˒_saying

To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: [said]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τί ἔτι ὑστερῶ

what still ˱I˲_˓am˒_lacking

The man is asking about what he lacks in order to gain what he wants, which is eternal life (see [19:16](../19/16.md)). You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [What do I still lack before receiving eternal life]

OET (OET-LV) The young_man is_saying to_him:

OET (OET-RV) “I’ve kept all of those,” the young man said, “so what else do I need to do?”

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.
