OET (OET-LV) And having_become the_ sixth _hour, darkness became over all the land, until the_ ninth _hour.
Note 1 topic: translate-unknown
ὥρας ἕκτης & ὥρας ἐνάτης
/the/_hour sixth & /the/_hour ninth
In this culture, people began counting the hours each day beginning around daybreak at six o’clock in the morning. So, the sixth hour would be around noon, and the ninth hour would be around three o’clock in the afternoon. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this in the way the people of your culture reckon time. See how you translated the similar time reference in 15:25. Alternate translation: [12:00 PM … 3:00 PM]
Note 2 topic: translate-ordinal
ὥρας ἕκτης & ὥρας ἐνάτης
/the/_hour sixth & /the/_hour ninth
If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you could use cardinal numbers here or equivalent expressions. Alternate translation: [hour six … hour nine]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
σκότος ἐγένετο
darkness became
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of darkness, you could express it in a different way. Alternate translation: [the sky darkened] or [the light dimmed]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐφ’ ὅλην τὴν γῆν
over all the land
Here, the whole land could refer to: (1) the entire area around where Jesus was crucified. This could include just the city of Jerusalem or all of Palestine. Alternate translation: [over that whole region] (2) the entire earth. Alternate translation: [over the whole earth]
15:33 At noon (literally the sixth hour) darkness came over the whole land until three o’clock (literally the ninth hour). The whole land probably means all of Judah. The darkness was both literal and symbolic—it revealed the sinister nature of what was happening and was a taste of the judgment that Jesus predicted would come upon Israel (see 13:1-31; 14:58; 15:29).
OET (OET-LV) And having_become the_ sixth _hour, darkness became over all the land, until the_ ninth _hour.
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.
