Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
τῷ θέλοντί σοι κριθῆναι καὶ τὸν χιτῶνά σου λαβεῖν, ἄφες αὐτῷ καὶ τὸ ἱμάτιον
˱to˲_the_‹one› willing you /to_be/_judged and the tunic ˱of˲_you /to/_take allow ˱to˲_him also your coat
Jesus is using a hypothetical situation to teach. Use a natural method in your language for introducing a hypothetical situation. Alternate translation: “if someone wants to have judgment passed upon you and to take away your tunic, you should let him also have your cloak”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
σοι κριθῆναι
you /to_be/_judged
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of judgment, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “to have someone judge you” or “you to be judged”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd
σοι & σου & ἄφες & τὸ
you & ˱of˲_you & allow & your
Even though Jesus is speaking to many disciples, he is addressing an individual situation, so you and your are singular throughout this verse. But if the singular form would not be natural in your language for someone who is speaking to a group of people, you could use the plural forms of you and your in your translation.
Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
καὶ τὸν χιτῶνά σου λαβεῖν
and and the tunic ˱of˲_you /to/_take
Here, the word and introduces the result of judgment being passed upon you. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that makes this more explicit. Alternate translation: “with the result that he takes away your tunic”
Note 5 topic: translate-unknown
τὸν χιτῶνά & ἱμάτιον
the tunic & coat
The tunic was worn close to the body, like a heavy shirt or a sweater. The cloak, the more valuable of the two, was worn over the tunic for warmth and could be used as a blanket for warmth at night. If your readers would not be familiar with these kinds of garments, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “inner garment … outer garment”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
αὐτῷ
˱to˲_him
Although the term him is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “him or her”
5:21-47 You have heard. . . . But I say: Jesus contrasts his own teaching to six misinterpretations of the law. Each antithesis provides an example of the surpassing righteousness of Jesus. Jesus reveals the will of God as it contrasts with traditions.
OET (OET-LV) and to_the one willing you to_be_judged and to_take the tunic of_you, allow your coat to_him also,
OET (OET-RV) and to the person suing you in court and claiming your robe, let them have your coat as well.
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.
