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 / rquestion

ὁ δὲ Θεὸς οὐ μὴ ποιήσῃ τὴν ἐκδίκησιν τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτοῦ, τῶν βοώντων αὐτῷ ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός, καὶ μακροθυμεῖ ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς?

¬the and God by_no_means not /may/_execute the vengeance ˱of˲_the chosen ˱of˲_him ¬which shouting ˱to˲_him day and night and /is/_being_patient over them

Jesus is using the question form for emphasis as he teaches his disciples. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement. Alternate translation: [Now God will certainly answer the prayers of the people he has chosen, who cry out to him day and night, and he delays long over them!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ δὲ Θεὸς οὐ μὴ ποιήσῃ τὴν ἐκδίκησιν τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτοῦ

¬the and God by_no_means not /may/_execute the vengeance ˱of˲_the chosen ˱of˲_him

Jesus is drawing an implicit comparison between the unrighteous human judge and God, who is the perfectly righteous divine judge. The implication is that if even the human judge would ensure justice for someone who persevered in pleading for it, God would certainly do so. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [If an unrighteous human judge would ensure justice for someone who persevered in pleading for it, God will certainly answer the prayers of the people he has chosen]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτοῦ

˱of˲_the chosen ˱of˲_him

Jesus is using the adjective elect as a noun in order to describe a group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: [for the people whom he chose]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

τῶν βοώντων αὐτῷ ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός

˱of˲_the ¬which shouting ˱to˲_him day and night

Jesus is using the phrase day and night to describe all of time, by referring to its two components. Alternate translation: [who pray to him all the time] or [who ask him for help continually]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

καὶ μακροθυμεῖ ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς

and and /is/_being_patient over them

Here Jesus may be using the word and in an idiomatic sense to mean “even if.” (UST offers another possible interpretation of this phrase.) Alternate translation: [even if he takes a long time to answer their prayers]
