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.

8:5 The custom in planting was first to scatter seed and then to plow it into the soil.
• The seed that fell on a footpath running through the fields would not be plowed in, so it was stepped on and eaten by birds.
ἐξῆλθεν ὁ σπείρων τοῦ σπεῖραι τὸν σπόρον αὐτοῦ
came_out the_‹one› sowing ¬which /to/_sow the seed ˱of˲_him
Use either the singular or the plural to translate seed in this story, whichever would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: “A farmer went out to scatter some seed in a field” or “A farmer went out to scatter some seeds in a field”
ὃ μὲν ἔπεσεν
some indeed fell
Alternate translation: “some of the seed fell” or “some of the seeds fell”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
κατεπατήθη
˱it˲_/was/_trampled
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who did the action. Alternate translation: “people walked on it” or “people walked on them”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ
the birds ˱of˲_the sky
In your language, it might seem that this phrase expresses unnecessary extra information. If so, you could abbreviate it. However, you could also use an action clause to keep the sense of sky. Alternate translation: “birds” or “birds flew down and”
κατέφαγεν αὐτό
devoured it
Alternate translation: “ate it all” or “ate them all”
