The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

οὐ δύνασθε & πίνειν & οὐ δύνασθε τραπέζης & μετέχειν

not ˱you_all˲_/are/_being_able & /to_be/_drinking & not ˱you_all˲_/are/_being_able ˱of˲_/the/_table & /to_be/_partaking

Here Paul states that they are not able to do both of these things even though he knows that they can physically do both of these things. The Corinthians would have understood him to mean that it is shocking and unthinkable to do both of these things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind You are not ablewith a strong command or a statement of how bad doing both these things would be. Alternate translation: [You should never drink … You should never partake of the table] or [It is very wrong to drink … It is very wrong to partake of the table]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence -1) ποτήριον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὐ δύνασθε ποτήριον Κυρίου πίνειν καὶ ποτήριον δαιμονίων οὐ δύνασθε τραπέζης Κυρίου μετέχειν καὶ τραπέζης δαιμονίων)

Here the Corinthians would have understood cup to refer to the drink inside the cup, which in Paul’s culture would have been wine. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express cup by more explicitly referring to what would be in the cup. Alternate translation: [the drink … the drink] or [the wine in the cup … the wine in the cup]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ποτήριον Κυρίου & ποτήριον δαιμονίων & τραπέζης Κυρίου & τραπέζης δαιμονίων.

/the/_cup ˱of˲_/the/_Lord & /the/_cup ˱of˲_demons & ˱of˲_/the/_table ˱of˲_/the/_Lord & ˱of˲_/the/_table ˱of˲_demons

Here Paul uses the possessive form to describe “cups” and “tables” that are associated with the Lord or with demons. The cup and the table would be used in ceremonies or worship connected to either the Lord or the demons. If your language does not use the possessive form to express that idea, you can state it in another way. Alternate translation: [the cup used to worship the Lord … the cup used to worship demons … of the table used to worship the Lord … of the table used to worship demons]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence -1) τραπέζης

Here the Corinthians would have understood table to refer to the food on the table. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express table by more explicitly referring to what would be on the table. Alternate translation: [of the bread … of the bread] or [of the food on the table … of the food on the table]
