SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:1–7:29: Jesus preached a sermon on a mountain

For many years, English versions and Christians have commonly referred to Matthew 5–7 as “The Sermon on the Mount.” In some translations, it may be helpful to include a heading for chapters 5–7 that is on a level above the section heading for 5:1–12.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The Sermon on the Mountain

The sermon that Jesus preached on a mountain

Jesus taught people on the side of a mountain/hill

Paragraph 5:27–30

Jesus continued speaking here to his disciples. If your audience would not understand that Jesus was speaking here, you may want to indicate this. For example:

Then Jesus said,

Jesus continued speaking

5:27a

You have heard that it was said,

You have heard that it was said: The same clause also occurs in 5:21. However, here the words “to the ancients” are not repeated. You should translate this clause in a similar way.

You: In the Greek text, the pronoun for You is plural. It refers to all those to whom Jesus was speaking.

5:27b

‘Do not commit adultery.’

Do not commit adultery: The Greek word that the BSB translates as adultery refers to having sexual relations with a woman who is married to another man.

Here are some other ways to translate this commandment:

Do not have sexual relations with another man’s wife

Do not take another man’s wife to bed with you

Do not sleep with a married woman

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐρρέθη

˱it˲_˓was˒_said

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was God speaking through Moses. Alternate translation: [God commanded] or [Moses said]

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

ἐρρέθη

˱it˲_˓was˒_said

Here Jesus quotes from the Old Testament scriptures, specifically from [Exodus 20:14](../../exo/20/14.md) or [Deuteronomy 5:18](../../deu/05/18.md). If it would be helpful to your readers, you could format these words in a different way and include this information in a footnote. Alternate translation: [it was commanded in the law]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

οὐ μοιχεύσεις

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη Οὒ μοιχεύσεις)

Since the author of the quotation is addressing each specific person who is part of God’s people, the command here is singular. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [Each of you, do not commit adultery]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

οὐ μοιχεύσεις

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη Οὒ μοιχεύσεις)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of adultery, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [Do not be an adulterer or adulteress] or [Do not do what is adulterous]
