SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:1–12: Jesus taught about divorce

Some Pharisees came to Jesus. They wanted to try to make him say something wrong that would damage his reputation. That is why they asked Jesus about his teaching on divorce. Some Pharisees taught that a man could divorce his wife for any reason. Other Pharisees taught that a man could only divorce his wife if she committed sexual sin. Jesus agreed with the second group of Pharisees, but he added that God created marriage and he does not like divorce.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus answered a question about divorce

Divorce (NIV)

Jesus’ teaching about divorce

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 19:1–9 and Luke 16:18.

10:8a

and the two will become one flesh.’

and the two persons will become united as one body/person.’
the two of them will become as one.
and the man and the woman, who are two people, will become like one person.

the two will become one flesh: The phrase the two refers to a man and his wife. The words become one flesh is a figure of speech here. It indicates that the husband and wife will become united as one person or being.

In some languages, it is not natural to refer to a man and woman becoming one flesh. If that is true in your language, you may want to indicate the meaning in another way. For example:

the two will become as united as if they were in one body

the two of them will become like one person

10:8b

So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

So they are no longer two individuals/people but united as one.
So the man and his wife are no longer two separate people, but rather they are united into a unit.

Jesus stopped quoting from Scripture at the end of 10:8a and began to speak his own words again. Make this clear in your translation.

So they are no longer two, but one flesh: This part of the verse expresses the same principle as in 10:8a. The word two refers to two people, two separate individuals. The phrase but one flesh indicates that they are united as one flesh. In some languages it may be natural to make this explicit. For example:

So they are no longer two individuals, but are united into one flesh.

So they are no longer two separate persons only, but are united as one body/person.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἔσονται οἱ δύο εἰς σάρκα μίαν

will_be the two into flesh one

Here the author of the quotation speaks as if the two are one flesh. He means that a husband and wife are so closely joined that it is as if they had one flesh or one body between them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use simile form or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the two will be like one flesh] or [the two will be as closely united as possible]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

οἱ δύο

the two

Jesus is using the number two as a noun to refer to a husband and a wife together. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this number with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [the two of them] or [the two spouses]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὥστε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ἔσονται οἱ δύο εἰς σάρκα μίαν Ὥστε οὐκέτι εἰσίν δύο ἀλλά μία σάρξ)

Here, the phrase So then introduces a conclusion or inference based on the words Jesus has just quoted. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces a conclusion or inference. Alternate translation: [Because of that] or [As you can see]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οὐκέτι εἰσὶν δύο, ἀλλὰ μία σάρξ

no_longer (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ἔσονται οἱ δύο εἰς σάρκα μίαν Ὥστε οὐκέτι εἰσίν δύο ἀλλά μία σάρξ)

Here Jesus repeats in different form the words from the figure of speech at the end of the quotation earlier in this verse. He means that a husband and wife are so closely joined that it is as if they had one flesh or one body between them. Express the idea as you did earlier in the verse. Alternate translation: [it is as if they are no longer two, but they are like one flesh] or [they are no longer two separate people, but are as closely united as possible]
