OET interlinear MAT 24:36

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

περὶ δὲ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καὶ ὥρας

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: περί Δέ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καί ὥρας οὐδείς οἶδεν οὐδέ οἱ ἄγγελοι τῶν οὐρανῶν οὐδέ ὁ Υἱός εἰ μή ὁ Πατήρ μόνος)

The phrase But concerning introduces the next topic that Jesus wants to talk about. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next topic. Alternate translation: [Next, I will talk about that day and hour. About them]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καὶ ὥρας

¬the ˱of˲_day that (Some words not found in SR-GNT: περί Δέ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καί ὥρας οὐδείς οἶδεν οὐδέ οἱ ἄγγελοι τῶν οὐρανῶν οὐδέ ὁ Υἱός εἰ μή ὁ Πατήρ μόνος)

The terms day and hour mean similar things. Jesus is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [that specific time]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καὶ ὥρας

¬the ˱of˲_day that (Some words not found in SR-GNT: περί Δέ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καί ὥρας οὐδείς οἶδεν οὐδέ οἱ ἄγγελοι τῶν οὐρανῶν οὐδέ ὁ Υἱός εἰ μή ὁ Πατήρ μόνος)

Jesus is referring to the exact moment when this “age,” which is the current time period, will end (see the disciples’ question in [24:3](../24/03.md)). You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the end of the age] or [the moment in the future when the current way of doing things will cease]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions

οὐδεὶς οἶδεν, οὐδὲ οἱ ἄγγελοι τῶν οὐρανῶν, οὐδὲ ὁ Υἱός, εἰ μὴ ὁ Πατὴρ μόνος

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: περί Δέ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καί ὥρας οὐδείς οἶδεν οὐδέ οἱ ἄγγελοι τῶν οὐρανῶν οὐδέ ὁ Υἱός εἰ μή ὁ Πατήρ μόνος)

If, in your language, it would appear that Jesus was making a statement here and then contradicting it, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: [only the Father knows and no one else, neither the angels of the heavens, nor the Son]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

οἱ ἄγγελοι τῶν οὐρανῶν

the angels ˱of˲_the heavens

Jesus is using the possessive form to describe angels that are in the heavens. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the angels in the heavens]

Note 6 topic: translate-textvariants

οὐδὲ ὁ Υἱός

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: περί Δέ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καί ὥρας οὐδείς οἶδεν οὐδέ οἱ ἄγγελοι τῶν οὐρανῶν οὐδέ ὁ Υἱός εἰ μή ὁ Πατήρ μόνος)

Many ancient manuscripts read nor the Son. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts do not include these words. 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.

the Son & the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: περί Δέ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καί ὥρας οὐδείς οἶδεν οὐδέ οἱ ἄγγελοι τῶν οὐρανῶν οὐδέ ὁ Υἱός εἰ μή ὁ Πατήρ μόνος)

Son and Father are important titles that describes the relationship between Jesus the Son and God the Father. Be sure to retain these titles in your translation.

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ὁ Υἱός

the Son

Jesus is speaking about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [I, who am the Son]
