Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p
ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου, γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου
/let/_come the kingdom ˱of˲_you /let_be/_become the will ˱of˲_you
If your language does not use the third-person imperative in this way, you could state this in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “we want your kingdom to come, we want your will to be done” or “we pray that your kingdom comes, we pray that your will is done”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου
/let/_come the kingdom ˱of˲_you
Here Jesus speaks as if God’s kingdom were a person who could come. He means that disciples should pray for God to establish or begin his kingdom. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Let your kingdom grow” or “Let your kingdom begin”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
(Occurrence -1) σου
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς)
Since Jesus is praying to God the Father, the word your here is singular.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου
/let_be/_become the will ˱of˲_you
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 does the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: “let all people do your will” or “let your will take place”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὸ θέλημά σου
the will ˱of˲_you
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of will, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “what you desire”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς
as in heaven also on earth
Here Jesus implies that God’s will is always done in heaven, and believers should pray that this will also be true on earth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “on earth, just as it already is done in heaven”
6:10 In praying for God’s Kingdom to come soon, Jesus’ disciples pray for his justice, righteousness, peace, and mercy to be established.
• Outside God’s will, no person will be permitted into God’s presence (7:21; 12:50; 21:28-32).
• on earth, as it is in heaven: This probably refers to all of the first three petitions, not just the third.

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.
