Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς πειρασμόν
not ˱you_all˲_/may/_come_in into temptation
Here Jesus speaks as if temptation were a location that someone could enter into. He is referring to experiencing temptation. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you do not experience temptation” or “you are kept away from temptation”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς πειρασμόν
not ˱you_all˲_/may/_come_in into temptation
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of temptation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “you are not tempted”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
τὸ μὲν πνεῦμα πρόθυμον, ἡ δὲ σὰρξ ἀσθενής
the on_one_hand spirit_‹is› eager the on_the_other_hand /the/_flesh_‹is› weak
The words spirit and flesh represent people’s spirits and flesh in general, not one particular spirit and flesh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “People’s spirits indeed are willing, but their flesh is weak”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὸ μὲν πνεῦμα πρόθυμον
the on_one_hand spirit_‹is› eager
Here, spirit represents a person’s desires and will. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “The will indeed wants to do it” or “Inside, you indeed are willing”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
πρόθυμον
eager
Here Jesus implies that the spirit is willing to do what is right, and more specifically what Jesus has asked. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “is willing to do what is right” or “is willing to do what I ask”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἡ & σὰρξ ἀσθενής
the & /the/_flesh_‹is› weak
Here, flesh represents a person’s body and actions. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the body is weak” or “when you act you are weak”
26:36-46 This scene reveals the depth of Jesus’ awareness of the suffering that awaited him on the cross, as well as his utter commitment to God’s will (see 20:28). Expressions in 26:41-42 echo the Lord’s Prayer (6:9-13).
OET (OET-LV) Be_watching and be_praying, in_order_that you_all_may_ not _come_in into temptation.
On_one_hand the spirit is eager, on_the_other_hand the the_flesh is weak.
OET (OET-RV) Stay alert and pray so that you all don’t fall into temptation. Your spirits are eager, but your endurance is lacking.”
