LUKE 15:23 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 / quotesinquotes

καὶ φέρετε τὸν μόσχον τὸν σιτευτόν, θύσατε, καὶ φαγόντες εὐφρανθῶμεν

and /be/_bringing the calf ¬the grain_fed sacrifice_‹it› and /having/_eaten ˱we˲_/may_be/_gladdened

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that it is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [He also told his servants to bring the calf they had been fattening and butcher it so that they could have a celebration feast]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / you

φέρετε & θύσατε

/be/_bringing & sacrifice_‹it›

Since the father is speaking to a number of servants, the implied “you” in these imperatives would be plural. Your language may need to show that distinction explicitly.

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

μόσχον τὸν σιτευτόν

calf ¬the grain_fed

A calf is a young cow. People would give one of their calves special food so that it would grow well, and then, when they wanted to have a special feast, they would butcher and eat that calf. If your readers would not know what a calf or a cow is, or if a description of eating a cow would be offensive to them, you could use a general expression here. Alternate translation: [the young animal we have been making fat]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

θύσατε

sacrifice_‹it›

In this context, the term kill means to slaughter an animal and prepare its meat to be eaten. The implication is that the servants were also to cook the meat for the feast that the father wanted to have. Alternate translation: [butcher and cook]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

φαγόντες εὐφρανθῶμεν

/having/_eaten ˱we˲_/may_be/_gladdened

The phrase eat and celebrate expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word eat indicates how the father wants to celebrate his son’s homecoming. Alternate translation: [celebrate by having a feast]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

φαγόντες εὐφρανθῶμεν

/having/_eaten ˱we˲_/may_be/_gladdened

The word us includes the addressees, since the father means the whole household, including the servants to whom he is speaking. So use the inclusive form of us in your translation if your language marks that distinction. Other languages might say “all of us.”
