YHN 5:47 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. 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: grammar-connect-condition-fact

εἰ & οὐ πιστεύετε

if & not ˱you_all˲_/are/_believing

John records Jesus speaking as if this were a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might think that what Jesus is saying is not certain, then you could translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: “Since you do not believe”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

πῶς τοῖς ἐμοῖς ῥήμασιν πιστεύσετε?

how ¬the ˱in˲_my words ˱you_all˲_/will_be/_believing

Jesus is using the question form for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “you will certainly never believe my words!”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τοῖς ἐμοῖς ῥήμασιν

˱in˲_the ¬the ˱in˲_my words

Here, words refers to what Jesus said to these Jewish leaders. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “what I have told you”
