Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
σὺ δὲ
you but
Here, the phrase But you introduces what Jesus wants each of his disciples to do in contrast to what the “hypocrites” do, which he described in the previous verse (6:16). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast. Alternate translation: “As for you, however”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd
σὺ & σου & σου
you & ˱of˲_you & ˱of˲_you
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 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἄλειψαί σου τὴν κεφαλὴν καὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου νίψαι
anoint ˱of˲_you the head and the face ˱of˲_you wash
Here, to anoint the head and to wash the face is to take normal care of one’s self. Doing this gives the appearance that you are living life as normal. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use similar phrases that refer to normal bodily care, or you could use a general statement. Alternate translation: “comb your hair and wash your face as you normally do” or “take care of yourself as you usually do”
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.
