Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
καὶ ὁ τὰ δύο, ἐκέρδησεν ἄλλα δύο
also the_‹one› ˱with˲_the two gained another two
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the previous verse. Alternate translation: “the one having received the two talents also gained another two talents”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐκέρδησεν ἄλλα δύο
gained another two
Here Jesus implies that this servant gained another two talents by trading with them, just like the servant with five talents. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “traded with them and gained another two”
25:14-30 This parable teaches that the Lord expects his servants to be faithful to the task given to them while waiting for his return. The delay of Christ’s return will cause some to turn to evil deeds (24:48-49), some to inactivity (25:3), and some to fearful passivity (25:18).
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.
