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

Paragraph 7:7–11

In this paragraph, Jesus told his disciples that they should pray earnestly to God for the things that they need, and God will give them these things. God will give good things to his followers just as a human father gives good things to his children.

Matthew 7:7–8 has almost the same words as Luke 11:9–10, and they mean the same thing.

7:10a–b

Or: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as Or functions to introduce another example of Jesus’ teaching about giving good things to those who ask.

if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?: This is a rhetorical question. It is similar to the rhetorical question in 7:9. Jesus used this rhetorical question to emphasize that no one would give a serpent to his child if he asks for a fish. The words “which of you” are implied but not repeated from 7:9a–b.

Here are some other ways to translate this emphasis:

7:10a

Or if he asks for a fish,

fish: At that time, people in Israel ate a lot of fish. Here it is implied that the son was asking for a fish because he was hungry. If people do not eat fish in your culture, you may need to:

7:10b

will give him a snake?

will give him a snake: Jewish laws forbid eating a snake. So no Jewish father would give his son a snake when his son asked for a fish to eat.

But in some languages giving a snake would be good. If that is true in your language, you may want to:

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

ἢ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἤ καί ἰχθύν αἰτήσει μή ὄφιν ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ)

Here, the word Or introduces another similar example. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces another example, or you could leave Or untranslated. Alternate translation: [Again,]

ἢ καὶ ἰχθὺν αἰτήσει, μὴ ὄφιν ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ?

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἤ καί ἰχθύν αἰτήσει μή ὄφιν ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ)

Alternate translation: [Or he will not give him a snake when he asks for a fish, will he]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ἢ καὶ ἰχθὺν αἰτήσει, μὴ ὄφιν ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ?

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἤ καί ἰχθύν αἰτήσει μή ὄφιν ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ)

Jesus asks another question to teach the people about how God gives gifts. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [And there is not one person among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake.]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

ἢ καὶ ἰχθὺν αἰτήσει, μὴ ὄφιν ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἤ καί ἰχθύν αἰτήσει μή ὄφιν ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ)

Here Jesus uses an imaginary situation to help explain how parents give good things, not bad things, to their children. Use a natural method in your language for introducing an imaginary situation. Alternate translation: [Or imagine that same man again. When his son asks him for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

καὶ ἰχθὺν αἰτήσει, μὴ ὄφιν ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἤ καί ἰχθύν αἰτήσει μή ὄφιν ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ)

Although Jesus continues to use the example of a father and his son, he does not mean that this example applies only to fathers and sons. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that includes all parents and children. Alternate translation: [the child will also ask for a fish—the parents will not give the child a snake, will they]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὄφιν

˓a˒_serpent

In this culture, people did not eat snakes. So Jesus is saying that a father would not give a son something the son could not eat if the son asked for something that he could eat. If people do eat snakes in your culture, you could use the name of something that they do not eat, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: [something he cannot eat]
