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:

λέγω ὑμῖν

˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all

Jesus says this to emphasize what he is about to tell his disciples. Alternate translation: [Indeed]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ ἔσονται δύο ἐπὶ κλίνης μιᾶς

˱in˲_this ¬the night will_be two on bed one

Jesus is speaking of a hypothetical situation that might occur at this time. It may be helpful to make this a separate sentence. Alternate translation: [suppose this were to happen at night, and suppose there were two people sleeping in the same bed]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

ἐπὶ κλίνης μιᾶς

on bed one

If your readers would not be familiar with what a bed is, you could use the name of the sleeping furniture that people in your own culture use, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: [sleeping on one mat] or [sleeping side by side] or [sleeping in the same place]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὁ εἷς παραλημφθήσεται, καὶ ὁ ἕτερος ἀφεθήσεται

the one /will_be_being/_taken and the other /will_be_being/_left

If it would be helpful in your language, you could use active forms for both of these verbs, and you could state who would do the actions. This could mean: (1) the person who is taken may be one whom God takes out of a situation in which they would be destroyed, as God brought Lot out of Sodom, and the person who is left may be one who remains in a situation where they will be destroyed, like the people who remained in Sodom. That is the interpretation of UST. Alternate translation: [God will spare one of them but destroy the other] (2) in the parallel to this passage in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus says that the people living in Noah’s time “knew nothing until the flood came and took them all away” (Matthew 24:39 ULT). So the person who is taken may actually be one whom God destroys, and the one who is left may be one whom God spares and allows to remain alive. Alternate translation: [God will destroy one of them but spare the other]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

ὁ εἷς παραλημφθήσεται

the one /will_be_being/_taken

If you translated the first sentence in this verse as the condition of a hypothetical situation, translate this sentence as the result of that condition. Alternate translation: [Then one of them will be taken]
