Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
γρηγορεῖτε & ὅτι οὐκ οἴδατε ποίᾳ ἡμέρᾳ ὁ Κύριος ὑμῶν ἔρχεται
/be/_watching & because not ˱you_all˲_/have/_known ˱on˲_what day the Lord ˱of˲_you_all /is/_coming
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second clause gives the reason for the command in the first clause. Alternate translation: [since you do not know on what day your Lord will come, be alert]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ποίᾳ ἡμέρᾳ
˱on˲_what day
Here, the word day refers to a specific moment in time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [at what hour] or [the time when]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
ὁ Κύριος ὑμῶν
the Lord ˱of˲_you_all
Here Jesus speaks about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person. Alternate translation: [I, who am your Lord,]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἔρχεται
/is/_coming
See how you translated “coming” in 24:37. Alternate translation: [will come back to this world] or [will, after leaving this world, come back]
24:42 To keep watch is to maintain active, energetic, single-minded obedience to the Lord (see 25:13; 26:38-41).
OET (OET-LV) Therefore be_watching, because you_all_have_ not _known on_what day the master of_you_all is_coming.
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.
