οὖν
therefore
Here, the word Therefore introduces the conclusion to what Jesus has been telling his disciples about not being anxious in 6:25–33. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a conclusion. Alternate translation: “So” or “In summary”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
ἡ & αὔριον μεριμνήσει ἑαυτῆς
the_‹day› & next /will_be/_worrying ˱about˲_itself
Jesus speaks of tomorrow as if it were a person who could be anxious. He could mean: (1) that people should worry about what happens the next day only when that day arrives. Alternate translation: “you can be anxious about tomorrow when it arrives” (2) that worrying about tomorrow is as ridiculous as tomorrow being a person who can be anxious. Alternate translation: “that helps you as much as if tomorrow could be anxious about itself” or “tomorrow is not even here yet”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀρκετὸν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἡ κακία αὐτῆς
sufficient ˱to˲_the day_‹is› the evil ˱of˲_it
Here Jesus means that much evil happens each day, so people should not add to their troubles by worrying about anything that might happen the next day. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Each day has enough evil already without worrying about tomorrow” or “Evil already happens each day, so you should not add to it by worrying about tomorrow”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἡ κακία αὐτῆς
the_‹day› the evil ˱of˲_it
Here, the phrase its evil refers to any bad or difficult things that happen each day. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “are the difficult things that happen that day” or “is the trouble that happens during it”
6:25-34 Jesus taught an anxiety-free existence of simple trust in God for provisions. Jesus’ disciples had abandoned all (4:18-22; 9:9; 10:5-14); Jesus gave them comforting reassurance that God would provide for their needs.
OET (OET-LV) Therefore you_all_may_ not _worry for the_ next _day, because/for the_ next _day will_be_worrying about_itself.
The evil of_it sufficient to_the day is.
OET (OET-RV) Don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow can worry about itself—today’s problems are enough by themselves.
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.
