LUKE 12:7 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: figures-of-speech / activepassive

καὶ αἱ τρίχες τῆς κεφαλῆς ὑμῶν πᾶσαι ἠρίθμηνται

even the hairs ˱of˲_the head ˱of˲_you_all all /have_been/_numbered

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who has done the action. Alternate translation: [God has even counted all the hairs on your head]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

καὶ αἱ τρίχες τῆς κεφαλῆς ὑμῶν πᾶσαι ἠρίθμηνται

even the hairs ˱of˲_the head ˱of˲_you_all all /have_been/_numbered

Jesus is using one small part of a person, the hairs on the head, to indicate the entire person. Alternate translation: [God is aware of everything about you, right down to the smallest detail]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / you

τῆς κεφαλῆς ὑμῶν

˱of˲_the head ˱of˲_you_all

Although head is singular because Jesus is describing an individual situation, your is plural because he is speaking to his disciples as a group.

πᾶσαι ἠρίθμηνται

all /have_been/_numbered

The word numbered can also mean “counted.” Jesus is not necessarily saying that God has assigned a number to each individual hair on a person’s head. Alternate translation: [have all been counted]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μὴ φοβεῖσθε, πολλῶν στρουθίων διαφέρετε

not /be/_fearing many sparrows ˱you_all˲_/are/_carrying_value_‹than›

The implication is that if God is aware of and concerned for sparrows, which are of less value, then God is certainly aware of and concerned for people, who are of greater value. And so followers of Jesus do not need to be afraid, since God is watching over them. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [You are more valuable than many sparrows, so God is certainly even more aware of you and concerned for you, and so you do not need to be afraid]
