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 / simile

ὑμεῖς ὅμοιοι ἀνθρώποις προσδεχομένοις

you_all similar ˱to˲_people waiting_for

This is a simile. Alternate translation: [you should be like people who are waiting]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὑμεῖς ὅμοιοι ἀνθρώποις προσδεχομένοις

you_all similar ˱to˲_people waiting_for

The implication is that Jesus’ disciples should be like this as they wait for his return. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [as you wait for my return, you should be like people who are waiting for]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀνθρώποις

˱to˲_people

Since household servants would probably include women as well as men, Jesus is likely using the term men here in a generic sense that includes all people. Alternate translation: [people]

πότε ἀναλύσῃ ἐκ τῶν γάμων

when ˱he˲_/may/_depart from the wedding_festivities

Alternate translation: [to come home after a wedding celebration]

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

κρούσαντος

/having/_knocked

See how you translated the word “knock” in 11:9. Alternate translation: [calls out] or [coughs] or [claps]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εὐθέως ἀνοίξωσιν αὐτῷ

immediately ˱they˲_/may/_open_up ˱to˲_him

The phrase open for him refers to the door of the master’s house. It was the responsibility of his servants to open it for him. Alternate translation: [they can open the door for him right away]
