Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οἱ κύνες
the dogs
In this culture, people considered dogs to be dirty and bothersome animals. So this is not a positive statement, as it would be in some other cultures where dogs are cherished as household pets and as helpful workers and companions. It may be helpful to use an expression in your translation that will clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “dirty animals”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
οἱ κύνες
the dogs
Jesus is speaking as if wicked people were literally dogs. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “wicked people”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
οἱ πόρνοι
the the the /the/_sexually_immoral
Jesus is using the adjective sexual immoral as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “people who are sexually immoral”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
φιλῶν καὶ ποιῶν
loving and practicing
This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word loving tells in what way these people are doing falsehood. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use “and.” Alternate translation: “eagerly doing"
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ψεῦδος
falsehood
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of falsehood, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “what is false” or “what is wrong”
22:15 This verse again lists those who are not admitted to contrast with those admitted in 22:14 (see 21:8, 27; 22:11). These unrepentant sinners remain outside the city; it is another warning to those who do not repent that they will not be allowed to enter the city of God (22:14).
• The reference to sinners as dogs was a familiar Jewish designation for rejected outsiders (see Matt 7:6; Phil 3:2; also 2 Sam 3:8; 2 Kgs 8:13); Jews used this term to refer to Gentiles (see Mark 7:26-28).
OET (OET-LV) Outside are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the the_sexually_immoral, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone loving and practicing falsehood.
OET (OET-RV) On the contrary, those outside the city are dogs and sorcerers, the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone loving and exhibiting dishonesty.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
