Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
δὲ
but
Here, the word But introduces the next thing that Jesus wants to say. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next idea, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “Now”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
μὴ γένηται ἡ φυγὴ ὑμῶν
not /may/_become the flight ˱of˲_you_all
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of flight, you could express the same idea with a verbal form. Alternate translation: “you might not have to flee”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
χειμῶνος
˱in˲_winter
In the location to which Jesus is referring, winter is the time of year when it is cold and travel is difficult. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a term for a season in which it would be difficult to travel, or you could translate winter with a general expression. Alternate translation: “in the rainy season” or “in the cold season”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
Σαββάτῳ
˱on˲_/a/_Sabbath
Because people in Jesus’ culture did not work on a Sabbath, it was much harder to travel on that day, even in an emergency. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “on a Sabbath, when no one is working” or “on a Sabbath, when traveling is hard”
24:20 Josephus records the winter swelling of the Jordan River, which made it more difficult to cross (see Josephus, War 4.7.5). Muddy roads also made travel difficult in winter.
• Normally Jews did not travel on the Sabbath in order to rest as God had commanded (see Gen 2:1-3; Exod 20:8-11; 23:12; 31:12-17; Lev 23:3; Deut 5:12-15; Jer 17:19-27).
OET (OET-LV) But be_praying that the flight of_you_all may_ not _become in_winter, nor on_a_day_of_rest.
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.
