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: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὐχὶ πέντε στρουθία πωλοῦνται ἀσσαρίων δύο

not five sparrows /are_being/_sold ˱for˲_assarions two

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who does the action. Alternate translation: [Do people not sell five sparrows for only two small copper coins]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

οὐχὶ πέντε στρουθία πωλοῦνται ἀσσαρίων δύο?

not five sparrows /are_being/_sold ˱for˲_assarions two

Jesus is using this question to teach the disciples. He is not asking them to verify the market price for sparrows. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement. Alternate translation: [You know that five sparrows are sold for only two small copper coins.]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

στρουθία

sparrows

The word sparrows refers to small, seed-eating birds. If your readers would not know what sparrows are, you could use a general expression instead. Alternate translation: [small birds]

Note 4 topic: translate-bmoney

ἀσσαρίων δύο

˱for˲_assarions two

The word assaria is the plural of “assarion.” An assarion was a small copper coin equivalent to about half an hour’s wage. You could try to express this amount in terms of current monetary values, but that might cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate, since those values can change over time. So instead you might state something more general or give the equivalent in wages. Alternate translation: [for two small copper coins] or [for an hour’s wages]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπιλελησμένον ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ

one of them not is /having_been/_forgotten before ¬the God

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: [God never forgets a single one of them]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπιλελησμένον ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ

one of them not is /having_been/_forgotten before ¬the God

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this double negative, which consists of a negative particle and a negative verb, as a positive statement. Alternate translation: [God is always aware of every one of them]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπιλελησμένον ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ

one of them not is /having_been/_forgotten before ¬the God

The expression before God means “in front of God,” that is, “where God can see.” Sight, in turn, represents attention. Alternate translation: [God is always aware of every one of them]
