OET (OET-LV) And because_of that the lawlessness to_be_multiplied, the love of_the many will_be_being_cooled.
OET (OET-RV) and as a result, lawlessness will increase and the love of many people will cool off
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τὸ πληθυνθῆναι τὴν ἀνομίαν
that /to_be/_multiplied ¬the lawlessness
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “lawlessness will increase”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὴν ἀνομίαν
¬the lawlessness
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of lawlessness, you could express the same idea with a verbal form. Alternate translation: “people doing what is lawless”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ψυγήσεται ἡ ἀγάπη τῶν πολλῶν
/will_be_being/_cooled the love ˱of˲_the many
Here Jesus speaks as if love were something hot that could literally grow cold. He means that love has diminished or ceased. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the love of many will be like a fire that has gone out” or “the love of many will cease”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ψυγήσεται ἡ ἀγάπη τῶν πολλῶν
/will_be_being/_cooled the love ˱of˲_the many
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of love, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “many will grow cold in how they love”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἡ ἀγάπη τῶν πολλῶν
the love ˱of˲_the many
Here Jesus could be speaking about: (1) love for other people. Alternate translation: “the love of many for other people” (2) love for God. Alternate translation: “the love of many for God”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
τῶν πολλῶν
˱of˲_the many
Jesus is using the adjective many as a noun to mean many people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “of many men and women”
24:12 the love of many will grow cold (see Rev 2:4): If the love within the community of Jesus’ disciples diminishes to the point of extinction, then the community ceases to be what God has designed it to be.
OET (OET-LV) And because_of that the lawlessness to_be_multiplied, the love of_the many will_be_being_cooled.
OET (OET-RV) and as a result, lawlessness will increase and the love of many people will cool off
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.
