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: translate-unknown

τὸ ἴδιον δεῖπνον προλαμβάνει

his own supper /is/_taking_first

This could refer to: (1) how some of the Corinthians were receiving food before others were. This could mean that the people who received food first ate more than their fair share, using up all the food before others were served. Or it could mean that each of the Corinthians ate food that was prepared ahead of time specifically for each of them and in proportion to their social status. Alternate translation: [eats his own supper before others receive enough food] or [receives the food that was prepared for him ahead of time] (2) how some of the Corinthians were “devouring” their own food without sharing with others. Alternate translation: [devours his own supper] or [eats his own supper without sharing]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἴδιον

own

Although his is masculine, Paul is using it to refer to anyone, whether man or woman. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express his with a non gendered word or refer to both genders. Alternate translation: [his or her own]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ὃς μὲν πεινᾷ, ὃς δὲ μεθύει

one on_one_hand /is/_hungering one on_the_other_hand /is/_being_drunk

Here Paul repeats one is to introduce two of the results that come from each one taking his own supper first. He does not mean that only one person is hungry or drunk, and he does not mean that these are the only two options. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this form with a form that naturally indicates possible, alternate results. Alternate translation: [some are indeed hungry, but others are drunk]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὃς μὲν πεινᾷ, ὃς δὲ μεθύει

one on_one_hand /is/_hungering one on_the_other_hand /is/_being_drunk

Here Paul contrasts being hungry with being drunk. These two words are not natural opposites, but Paul uses them to imply their opposites in his contrast. He does this to avoid having a complicated contrast with four words instead of two. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the contrast between being hungry and drunk by using all four words. Alternate translation: [one is indeed hungry and thirsty, but one is stuffed and drunk]
