OET (OET-LV) He_is_saying to_them:
On_one_hand you_all_will_be_drinking the cup of_me, on_the_other_hand which to_sit_down on the_right of_me and on the_left, is not mine to_give, but for_whom it_has_been_prepared by the father of_me.
OET (OET-RV) “Well, you will indeed share the suffering with me,” Yeshua responded. “But on the other hand, sitting on my right and my left is not my decision to make, because my father will have prepared those places.”
Note 1 topic: translate-tense
λέγει
˱he˲_/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: [He said]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὸ & ποτήριόν μου πίεσθε
the & cup ˱of˲_me ˱you_all˲_/will_be/_drinking
Here Jesus again speaks of experiencing pain and suffering as if it were drinking from a cup. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. See how you expressed this idea in 20:22. Alternate translation: [You will experience the pain that I experience] or [You will experience the suffering that I experience]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὸ & ποτήριόν μου
the & cup ˱of˲_me
Here, cup represents the drink inside the cup, which in Jesus’ culture would probably have been wine. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [My drink] or [The wine in my cup]
Note 4 topic: translate-textvariants
πίεσθε
˱you_all˲_/will_be/_drinking
Many ancient manuscripts end the question with the word drink. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts include after the word drink the words “and you will be baptized with the baptism with which I am being baptized.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.
Note 5 topic: translate-symaction
τὸ δὲ καθίσαι ἐκ δεξιῶν μου καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύμων
the ¬which on_the_other_hand /to/_sit_down on /the/_right ˱of˲_me and on /the/_left
When someone sits at the right hand or at the left hand of a ruler, this symbolizes that person’s honor, authority, and ability to rule. See how you translated the similar phrases in 20:21. Alternate translation: [But to sit down to rule at my right hand and at my left hand] or [to take the places of honor and authority at my right hand and at my left hand]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐκ δεξιῶν μου καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύμων
on /the/_right ˱of˲_me and on /the/_left
Here, the phrases at my right hand and at my left hand refer to the places next to Jesus’ right and left hands, which would be the right side and the left side. In the Jesus’ culture, these sides were associated with honor or authority. See how you expressed the idea in 20:21. Alternate translation: [at my right side and at my left side] or [in the honorable places at my right and at my left]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ἀλλ’ οἷς
but ˱for˲_whom
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [but it will be given to the ones for whom]
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἡτοίμασται ὑπὸ τοῦ Πατρός μου
˱it˲_/has_been/_prepared by the Father ˱of˲_me
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. Alternate translation: [my Father has prepared it]
Note 9 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
τοῦ Πατρός μου
the Father ˱of˲_me
Father is an important title that describe the relationship between God the Father and Jesus his Son.
20:23 You will indeed: James was eventually martyred (Acts 12:2), and John suffered significant persecution (Acts 4:3; 5:40; Rev 1:9).
OET (OET-LV) He_is_saying to_them:
On_one_hand you_all_will_be_drinking the cup of_me, on_the_other_hand which to_sit_down on the_right of_me and on the_left, is not mine to_give, but for_whom it_has_been_prepared by the father of_me.
OET (OET-RV) “Well, you will indeed share the suffering with me,” Yeshua responded. “But on the other hand, sitting on my right and my left is not my decision to make, because my father will have prepared those places.”
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.
