TSNTyndale Study Notes:

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parables

ἔστωσαν ὑμῶν αἱ ὀσφύες περιεζωσμέναι

let_be ˱of˲_you_all the loins /having_been/_girded_about

To help his disciples understand what he has been teaching, Jesus provides an illustration. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “Then Jesus gave his disciples this illustration to help them understand. ‘Wrap the lower part of your robe around your hips’”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

ἔστωσαν ὑμῶν αἱ ὀσφύες περιεζωσμέναι

let_be ˱of˲_you_all the loins /having_been/_girded_about

People in this culture wore long flowing robes. They would wrap the lower part of the robe around their hips to keep it out of the way while they engaged in physical activity. Alternate translation: “Wrap the lower part of your robe around your hips”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἔστωσαν ὑμῶν αἱ ὀσφύες περιεζωσμέναι

let_be ˱of˲_you_all the loins /having_been/_girded_about

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “Wrap the lower part of your robe around your hips”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔστωσαν ὑμῶν αἱ ὀσφύες περιεζωσμέναι

let_be ˱of˲_you_all the loins /having_been/_girded_about

The implication within the illustration is that a servant would do this in order to be ready to do any physical activity that was needed as soon as the master returned. Alternate translation: “Be dressed and ready to serve”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / you

ἔστωσαν ὑμῶν αἱ ὀσφύες περιεζωσμέναι

let_be ˱of˲_you_all the loins /having_been/_girded_about

Jesus is speaking of what an individual should do, but your is plural because he is addressing the disciples as a group. You could use the singular form of your in your translation if that is what your language would do in a context like this.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

καὶ οἱ λύχνοι καιόμενοι

and the lamps /being/_burned

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “and keep the lamps burning”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ οἱ λύχνοι καιόμενοι

and the lamps /being/_burned

The implication within the illustration is that a servant would do this so that the house would be well lit when the master returned. Alternate translation: “and make sure that the house is well lit”
