OET (OET-LV)But I_am_having against you a_few things, because you_are_having some there taking_hold_of the teaching of_Balaʼam/(Bilˊām), who was_teaching the to_Balak to_throw a_temptation before the sons of_Israaʸl/(Yisrāʼēl), to_eat idol_sacrificed things and to_commit_sexual_immorality.

OET (OET-RV)But I do have a few things against you: you have some people there who hold to the ancient prophet Balaam’s teaching. He taught Moab’s king, Balak, how to tempt the Israelis and to eat food that had been sacrificed to idols, and to be sexually immoral.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἔχω κατὰ σοῦ ὀλίγα

˱I˲_/am/_having against you /a/_few_‹things›

See how you translated the similar phrase in 2:4.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

κρατοῦντας τὴν διδαχὴν Βαλαάμ

taking_hold_of the teaching ˱of˲_Balaam

Jesus is speaking as if the believers in Pergamum were literally holding the teaching of Balaam. He means that they are doing what this teaching instructs them to do. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “people who are obeying the teaching of Balaam”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

κρατοῦντας τὴν διδαχὴν Βαλαάμ

taking_hold_of the teaching ˱of˲_Balaam

Jesus is referring to teaching that condones practicing sexual immorality and eating food sacrificed to idols by association with the way that Balaam advised Balak to get the Israelites to do those things. (See the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter.) If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “people who teach the same things that Balaam did”

Note 4 topic: translate-names

Βαλαάμ & τῷ Βαλὰκ

˱of˲_Balaam & ¬the ˱to˲_Balak

The words Balaam and Balak are the names of men. Their story is told in Numbers 22:1-24:45. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could identify them further in your translation. Alternate translation: “of the ancient prophet Balaam … Balak, the king of Moab,”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

βαλεῖν σκάνδαλον ἐνώπιον τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, φαγεῖν εἰδωλόθυτα καὶ πορνεῦσαι

/to/_cast /a/_temptation before the sons ˱of˲_Israel /to/_eat idol_sacrificed_‹things› and /to/_commit_sexual_immorality

Jesus is speaking as if Balak had literally thrown a stumbling block, something that would make people trip and fall, in front of the Israelites. He means that Balaak tempted them and got them to sin. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “how to tempt the sons of Israel into sinning by eating food sacrificed to idols and being sexually immoral”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ

the sons ˱of˲_Israel

Here, sons figuratively means “descendants.” Jesus is identifying the Israelites as descendants of their ancestor Israel (who was also known as Jacob). If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the people of Israel”

Note 7 topic: translate-unknown

εἰδωλόθυτα

idol_sacrificed_‹things›

The word translated idol-food describes food that was offered to idols. People then often ate this food as a way of worshiping the idols. Alternate translation: “food sacrificed to idols”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:12-17 The letter to the church in Pergamum portrays Christians who are tempted to compromise their morality and their loyalty to God. The city of Pergamum was the earliest capital of the Roman province of Asia. It contained a famous library, and its citizens developed the use of animal skins as writing materials.

OET (OET-LV)But I_am_having against you a_few things, because you_are_having some there taking_hold_of the teaching of_Balaʼam/(Bilˊām), who was_teaching the to_Balak to_throw a_temptation before the sons of_Israaʸl/(Yisrāʼēl), to_eat idol_sacrificed things and to_commit_sexual_immorality.

OET (OET-RV)But I do have a few things against you: you have some people there who hold to the ancient prophet Balaam’s teaching. He taught Moab’s king, Balak, how to tempt the Israelis and to eat food that had been sacrificed to idols, and to be sexually immoral.

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.
