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 / rquestion

εἰ δὲ ἐγὼ ἐν Βεελζεβοὺλ ἐκβάλλω τὰ δαιμόνια, οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν ἐν τίνι ἐκβάλλουσιν?

if and I by Beelzeboul /am/_casting_out the demons the sons ˱of˲_you_all by whom /are/_casting_out

Jesus is using the question form as a teaching tool. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement. Alternate translation: [If I am making demons leave people by using the power of Beelzebul, then your followers must be using that same power.]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-contrary

εἰ δὲ ἐγὼ ἐν Βεελζεβοὺλ ἐκβάλλω τὰ δαιμόνια, οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν ἐν τίνι ἐκβάλλουσιν?

if and I by Beelzeboul /am/_casting_out the demons the sons ˱of˲_you_all by whom /are/_casting_out

Jesus is also using a conditional statement to teach. Specifically, he is suggesting a condition that is not true in order to show by the results of the condition that it is certainly not true. Alternate translation: [Suppose I am making demons leave people by using the power of Beelzebul. In that case, your followers must be using that same power themselves.]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰ δὲ ἐγὼ ἐν Βεελζεβοὺλ ἐκβάλλω τὰ δαιμόνια, οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν ἐν τίνι ἐκβάλλουσιν?

if and I by Beelzeboul /am/_casting_out the demons the sons ˱of˲_you_all by whom /are/_casting_out

The implication is that the people challenging Jesus would not say that their own followers were using the power of Beelzebul, and so they should agree that he is not using that power himself. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [If I am making demons leave people by using the power of Beelzebul, then your followers must be using that same power. But you do not believe that is true about them. So it must not be true about me, either.]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν

the sons ˱of˲_you_all

Here, Jesus uses the word sons to mean “followers.” Alternate translation: [your followers]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

αὐτοὶ ὑμῶν κριταὶ ἔσονται

they ˱of˲_you_all judges will_be

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express the implications of this statement more explicitly. Alternate translation: [your own followers will say that you are wrong for claiming that I make demons leave people by using the power of Beelzebul, because they know that they are not using that power themselves]
