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

6:32a

For the Gentiles strive after all these things,

For: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as For in this context indicates that 6:32 is the basis for the commands in 6:31.

Here is another way to translate this conjunction:

I say that because

Some English versions do not translate this conjunction. In some languages, it will not be necessary to translate this conjunction either.

the Gentiles: The word Gentiles refers to people who were non-Jews.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

people who don’t know God (CEV)

people who do not trust/believe in God

heathen (REB)

pagans (NIV)

This word also occurs in 6:7a, where the BSB translates it as “pagans.” You should translate it here as you did there.

strive after: The Greek word that the BSB translates as strive after means “desire,” “want,” or “wish for,” or “look/search for.” The Greek grammar indicates a continuous seeking or wishing for something.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

always concerned about (GNT)

always worrying about such things (CEV)

keep trying to get (NCV)

all these things: The phrase all these things refers to the food, drink, and clothes mentioned in 6:25–31. You will want to use the proper word that refers back to these things. For example:

all these/those things

all the things I just mentioned

6:32b

and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

and: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates here as and is the same conjunction that is translated as “For” in 6:32a. It introduces the second basis for the commands not to worry.

Here are some other ways to translate this conjunction:

I also say that because

you should not worry because

Some English versions do not translate this conjunction. In some languages, it will not be necessary to translate this conjunction either.

your heavenly Father: The phrase your heavenly Father refers to God. This phrase also occurs in 6:14b.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

God your heavenly Father

God your Father who is/lives in heaven

knows that you need them: This clause implies that God will also provide the things that you need. If people in your area will think that this clause indicates only that God knows but does not provide, you may want to include some implied information. For example:

knows that you need them and will give you all these things

them: The Greek words that the BSB translates as them are the same as those translated as “all these things” in the previous clause. It refers to food, drink, and clothes.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

all these things (GNT)

all your needs (NLT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: παντᾶ Γάρ ταῦτα τά ἔθνη ἐπιζητοῦσιν οἶδεν γάρ ὁ Πατήρ ὑμῶν ὁ οὐράνιος ὅτι χρῄζετε τούτων ἁπάντων)

Here, the word For introduces a further explanation of why the disciples should not be anxious. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a further explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: [Indeed,] or [As you know,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐπιζητοῦσιν

˓are˒_seeking_after

Here, the word seek refers to focusing on and trying to obtain something. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [focus on] or [try to obtain]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πάντα & ταῦτα & τούτων ἁπάντων

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: παντᾶ Γάρ ταῦτα τά ἔθνη ἐπιζητοῦσιν οἶδεν γάρ ὁ Πατήρ ὑμῶν ὁ οὐράνιος ὅτι χρῄζετε τούτων ἁπάντων)

Here, the phrases all these things and all of these things refer to food, drink, clothing, and other necessities. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [food, drink, and clothing … food, drink, and clothing] or [all these necessities … all of these necessities]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

(Occurrence 2) γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: παντᾶ Γάρ ταῦτα τά ἔθνη ἐπιζητοῦσιν οἶδεν γάρ ὁ Πατήρ ὑμῶν ὁ οὐράνιος ὅτι χρῄζετε τούτων ἁπάντων)

Here, the word for introduces a reason why the disciples should not be anxious about food, drink, or clothing. The word does not connect the clause to what Jesus just said about the Gentiles. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason for a previous command, or you could leave for untranslated. Alternate translation: [you should not seek these things, because] or [but you should not be anxious about these things since]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ Πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ οὐράνιος

the ¬the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: παντᾶ Γάρ ταῦτα τά ἔθνη ἐπιζητοῦσιν οἶδεν γάρ ὁ Πατήρ ὑμῶν ὁ οὐράνιος ὅτι χρῄζετε τούτων ἁπάντων)

This is a figurative expression. God is not the Father of humans in the same actual way that he is the Father of Jesus. Even so, it would probably be best to translate Father with the same word that your language would naturally use to refer to a human father. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that this means God. Alternate translation: [God your heavenly Father]
