Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
γὰρ
for
Here, the word For introduces support for the claim that Jesus made in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces basis or support for a claim, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “That is because, as”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
οὐ μή
by_no_means not
The words translated certainly not are two negative words. In this construction, the second negative does not cancel the first to create a positive meaning. Instead, it gives greater emphasis to the negative. If your language can use two negatives that do not cancel one another to create a positive meaning, you could use a double negative here. If your language does not use two negatives in that way, you could translate with one strong negative, as the ULT does. Alternate translation: “by no means”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀπ’ ἄρτι
from now
Here Jesus uses the word now to refer to the time of his current visit to Jerusalem. He is not referring to just the current moment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the time of my current visit with you”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἕως ἂν εἴπητε
until ¬wishfully ˱you_all˲_/may/_say
Here, Jesus could be indicating that they will certainly not see him: (1) until the time when they say the following words. Alternate translation: “until the time when you say” (2) unless they say the following words. Alternate translation: “unless you say”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου
/having_been/_blessed the_‹one› coming in name ˱of˲_/the/_Lord
Here Jesus is quoting from Psalm 118:26. Since he does not introduce the words as a quotation from an important text, you also should not introduce them as anything more than what he said. However, if it would be helpful for your readers, you could include this information in a footnote.
εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου
/having_been/_blessed the_‹one› coming in name ˱of˲_/the/_Lord
The exact same sentence appears in 21:9. Translate it as you did there.
23:39 Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord: This is possibly the prediction of an end-time conversion of the nation of Israel to the Messiah (see also Rom 11:12-32).
OET (OET-LV) For/Because I_am_saying to_you_all, by_no_means you_all_may_ not _see me from now until wishfully you_all_may_say:
The one coming in name of_the_master having_been_blessed.
OET (OET-RV) because I’m telling you that you certainly won’t see me again until you can say, ‘The person coming in the name of the master has been blessed.’ ”
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.
