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.

UST In this psalm, King David calls the Messiah ‘my Lord.’ That is a title of great respect. So how could the Messiah be David’s descendant? It is the descendant who should show great respect to the ancestor.”

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

Δαυεὶδ οὖν, Κύριον, αὐτὸν καλεῖ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Δαυὶδ οὖν αὐτὸν Κύριον καλεῖ καὶ πῶς αὐτοῦ υἱός ἐστιν)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [David therefore calls the Messiah his Lord]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Δαυεὶδ οὖν, Κύριον, αὐτὸν καλεῖ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Δαυὶδ οὖν αὐτὸν Κύριον καλεῖ καὶ πῶς αὐτοῦ υἱός ἐστιν)

In this culture, an ancestor was more respected than a descendant. But to call someone Lord was to address that person as the more respected one. As the General Notes to this chapter describe, this is a paradox, that is, is a statement that describes two things that seem as if they cannot both be true at the same time, but which actually are both true. Jesus is calling attention to this paradox to get his listeners to think more deeply about who the Messiah is. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate explicitly what makes this a paradox. Alternate translation: [David therefore addresses the Messiah respectfully as his Lord. But if the Messiah is his descendant, David should be the more respected person]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

καὶ πῶς υἱός αὐτοῦ ἐστιν?

and how (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Δαυὶδ οὖν αὐτὸν Κύριον καλεῖ καὶ πῶς αὐτοῦ υἱός ἐστιν)

Like the question in 20:41, this seems to be a question that Jesus wanted his listeners to try to answer, even though he is also using it to teach. It is a difficult question, like the ones they asked him, which he answered well. They will not be able to answer his question, and this should give them a further appreciation for his wisdom, in addition to what they might learn from reflecting on the question later. So it would be appropriate to leave it in question form and not translate it as a statement. Alternate translation: [So why do people say that the Messiah is David’s descendant?]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

καὶ

and

Jesus is using the word And to show that a conclusion should be drawn as a result of what he has just said, and that this conclusion would be different from what his listeners had previously believed. Alternate translation: [So]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

υἱός

son

Here Jesus is using the term son to mean “descendant.” Alternate translation: [descendant]
