Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
γὰρ
for
Here, the word For introduces an explanation of how the Sadducees have been “led astray” (see 22:29). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “In fact,” or “What you should know is that”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐν & τῇ ἀναστάσει
in & the resurrection
Here Jesus could be referring to: (1) the period of time that will begin at the resurrection. Alternate translation: “once the resurrection happens” (2) the moment of resurrection itself. Alternate translation: “at the moment of resurrection”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐν & τῇ ἀναστάσει
in & the resurrection
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of resurrection, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “when people resurrect”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οὔτε γαμοῦσιν οὔτε γαμίζονται
neither ˱they˲_/are/_marrying nor /are_being/_betrothed
In Jesus’ culture, it was customary to talk about men marrying and women being given in marriage. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “men do not marry and women are not given in marriage” or “men and women do not get married”
Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns
οὔτε γαμοῦσιν & εἰσιν
neither ˱they˲_/are/_marrying & ˱they˲_are
The pronouns they and they refer to everyone who participates in the resurrection. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to these people more directly. Alternate translation: “men and women neither marry … men and women are”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
γαμίζονται
/are_being/_betrothed
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 did the action, Jesus implies that it is the people’s parents. Alternate translation: “do their parents give them in marriage”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
γαμίζονται
/are_being/_betrothed
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of marriage, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “are they married”
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
ὡς ἄγγελοι ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ εἰσιν
like angels in ¬the heaven ˱they˲_are
Jesus is saying that people in the resurrection are like angels because neither of them marry. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “they are like angels in heaven, since they too do not marry”
22:30 like the angels in heaven: Jesus was not teaching genderlessness (i.e., androgyny) nor disparaging the divine order of marriage and sexuality; rather, he was affirming that people will be transformed into a glorious new existence (see 1 Cor 15:35-49; 2 Cor 5:1-5) in which aspects of the present order, such as marriage, will not be present.
OET (OET-LV) For/Because in the resurrection, they_are_ neither _marrying nor are_being_betrothed, but they_are like messengers in the heaven.
OET (OET-RV) because in the resurrection, there’ll be no marrying or getting engaged, because they’ll be like the messengers in heaven.
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.
