OET (OET-LV) For/Because many are insubordinate, useless_talkers, and deceivers, most_of_all the ones of the circumcision,

OET (OET-RV) There’s plenty of people who don’t want to be told what to do, empty talkers and outright deceivers, especially those that push the letter of the law.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:10–16: Paul told Titus to rebuke rebellious people

In this section Paul warned Titus about those in Crete who were opposing correct teaching. They were deceiving believers and ruining their faith. Paul called them liars. They claimed to know God but in reality they did not.

Here are some other ways to translate this heading:

Correct Whoever Teaches What Is Wrong (GW)

You(sing) must rebuke those who are rebellious

1:10a

For many are rebellious

For: This word introduces a reason for Paul’s instructions about choosing church leaders. Here are some other ways to translate this word:

Because

Do this/that because

many are rebellious: The Greek word that the BSB translates as rebellious describes people who reject and oppose leaders and authority figures. Paul said that there were many such people. The context shows that he was talking about people in the congregations on the island of Crete.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

many people there are rebellious

many people reject/oppose their leaders

There are many who don’t respect authority (CEV)

1:10b

and full of empty talk and deception,

and full of empty talk and deception: The Greek words that the BSB translates as full of empty talk and deception are more literally “empty talkers and deceivers” (see the NASB). Paul was describing people who regularly say things that are not true or helpful and try to make others believe their lies.

Here are some other ways to translate this verse part:

talk about worthless things and lead others into the wrong way (NCV)

who talk nonsense and try to make others believe it (NJB)

full of…deception: The Greek word that the BSB translates as full of…deception is literally “deceivers.” It indicates that these people tried to convince others that their falsehoods were true. They wanted people to believe that their teaching was true, even though it was not.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

and deceive others (GNT)

they are liars

1:10c

especially those of the circumcision,

especially: This word here indicates that Paul was thinking of one group in particular. One group of people was very rebellious, talked nonsense, and deceived other people.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

This is especially true of (CEV)

in particular

But the worst of those who do this areOtomi Back Translation on TW

The group that does this/that the most is

those of the circumcision: This phrase refers to Jews who claimed to be Christians but wanted all Christians to follow the Jewish laws. In particular, they wanted all Christian men to be circumcised.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

the group that insists that all men be circumcised

those people who teach that believing men must follow the Jewish laws and have someone circumcise them

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ματαιολόγοι

useless_talkers

Here, empty is a metaphor for useless, and empty talkers are people who say useless or foolish things. Alternate translation: [people who say useless things]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

φρεναπάται

deceivers

The word deceivers describes people who are actively trying to convince people to believe in something other than the true gospel that Paul preaches. Alternate translation: [people who convince others to believe things that are not true]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

ματαιολόγοι, καὶ φρεναπάται

useless_talkers (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἰσίν Γάρ πολλοί ἀνυπότακτοι ματαιολόγοι καί φρεναπάται μάλιστα οἱ ἐκ τῆς περιτομῆς)

Both empty talkers and deceivers refer to the same people, those who are also rebellious. Those people taught false, worthless things and wanted other people to believe them. Alternate translation: [people who say wrong things so that others will believe things that are not true]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

οἱ ἐκ τῆς περιτομῆς

the_‹ones› of the circumcision

Here, circumcision represents the Jewish believers who taught that men must be circumcised in order to please God. This teaching is false. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the ones who teach that men must be circumcised in order to please God]
