LUKE 12:24 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: translate-unknown

τοὺς κόρακας

the ravens

The word ravens refers to large black birds, and it can apply either to crows or to actual ravens. If your readers would not be familiar with either of those birds, you could use a general term. Alternate translation: [the birds]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

οὐκ & ταμεῖον οὐδὲ ἀποθήκη

not & /a/_storeroom nor barn

These two words mean similar things. Jesus may be using them together to express a general meaning. Alternate translation: [no place to store food]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

οὐκ & ταμεῖον οὐδὲ ἀποθήκη

not & /a/_storeroom nor barn

These are places where food is stored. If your readers would not be familiar with either term, you could use a more general one. Alternate translation: [no place to store food]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

πόσῳ μᾶλλον ὑμεῖς διαφέρετε τῶν πετεινῶν!

˱for˲_how_much more you_all /are/_carrying_value_‹than› the birds

This is an exclamation, not a question. Jesus uses the exclamation to emphasize the point he wants his listeners to realize. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this as a statement. Alternate translation: [You need to realize how much more valuable people are to God than birds.]
