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 as a tool 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: grammar-connect-time-background

δὲ

and

Jesus uses the word And to introduce background information that will help readers understand what happens next. Alternate translation: [Now]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἦν & ἐν ἀγρῷ

was & in ˓the˒_field

The implication was that he was out in the field because he was working there. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [was out working in the field]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὡς ἐρχόμενος

while coming

Alternate translation: [as he came back home from the field]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἤκουσεν συμφωνίας καὶ χορῶν

˱he˲_heard ˱of˲_music and dancing

The older son could not literally hear dancing, so Jesus is using the term heard in that case. Alternate translation: [he heard music and the sound of people dancing] or [he heard music and could tell that people were dancing]
