OET (OET-LV) Therefore you_all_may_ not _worry saying:
What may_we_eat, or:

OET (OET-RV) “That means that you people don’t need to worry about having anything to eat or drink, or having clothes to wear.

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

6:31

Verse 6:31 repeats the examples that are in 6:25–30: Jesus’ disciples should not worry about the material things which they need to live. See the notes above on 6:25–30 for more information.

6:31a

Therefore do not worry,

Therefore: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Therefore introduces a conclusion based on God’s abundant and kind care.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

So (NIV)

In conclusion

For this/that reason

Because God so wonderfully provides,

do not worry: This same phrase occurs in 6:25b.

6:31b

saying, ‘What shall we eat?’

saying: The word saying introduces three questions that people may ask themselves. People do not necessarily ask these questions out loud.

Here are some other ways to introduce these questions:

and say (GW)

and ask yourselves (CEV)

Do not ask

What shall we eat?: This is a real question. It is implied that food is scarce and not easily acquired.

Here are some other ways to translate this question:

What are we going to eat? (GW)

Will we have anything to eat? (CEV)

6:31c

or ‘What shall we drink?’

What shall we drink?: This too is a real question. The verb means “to drink anything.” It refers especially to water but also refers to anything else people drink with their meals. You will want to translate this clause similarly to the way you did the previous one. For example:

What are we going to drink? (GW)

Will we have anything to drink? (CEV)

6:31d

or ‘What shall we wear?’

What shall we wear?: This also is a real question. You will want to translate this clause similarly to the way you did the two previous ones. For example:

What are we going to wear? (GW)

Will we have any clothes to wear? (CEV)

General Comment on 6:31a–d

In some languages it is more natural to use an indirect quotation for people’s thoughts. For instance:

Do not worry about what you will eat, drink or wear.

So don’t worry about having enough food or drink or clothing. (NLT96)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

λέγοντες, τί φάγωμεν, ἤ, τί πίωμεν, ἤ, τί περιβαλώμεθα

saying (Some words not found in SR-GNT: μή Οὖν μεριμνήσητε λέγοντες Τί φάγωμεν ἤ Τί πίωμεν ἤ Τί περιβαλώμεθα)

It may be more natural in your language to have indirect quotations here. Alternate translation: [asking what you might eat or what you might drink or what you might wear.]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

φάγωμεν & πίωμεν & περιβαλώμεθα

˱we˲_˓may˒_eat & ˱we˲_˓may˒_drink & ˱we˲_˓may˒_clothed

By we, Jesus means the disciples but not himself, so use the exclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
