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:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

διώκωσιν

˱they˲_/may_be/_persecuting

Here, the pronoun they refers to any person who persecutes the disciples. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to any person. Alternate translation: [somebody persecutes] or [anyone persecutes]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ

in ¬the city this

The phrase this city represents any specific city, not the city where Jesus currently is. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [in a city]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τὴν ἑτέραν

the next

Matthew is using the adjective next as a noun to mean the next city. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [the next city]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word for introduces a reason why the disciples should quickly go from one city to the next. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis for a command, or you could leave for untranslated. Alternate translation: [because] or [which you should do because]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐ μὴ τελέσητε

by_no_means not ˱you_all˲_/may/_finish

Here Jesus means that they will not finish preaching the good news in the cities of Israel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [you will certainly not finish preaching in] or [you will certainly not finish working in]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐ μὴ

by_no_means not

The words translated certainly not are two negative words. In this construction, the second negative does not cancel the first to create a positive meaning. Instead, it gives greater emphasis to the negative. If your language can use two negatives that do not cancel one another to create a positive meaning, you could use a double negative here. If your language does not use two negatives in that way, you could translate with one strong negative, as the ULT does. Alternate translation: [by no means]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

ἕως ἂν ἔλθῃ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

until (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅταν δὲ διώκωσιν ὑμᾶς ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ φεύγετε εἰς τὴν ἑτέραν ἀμὴν γὰρ λέγω ὑμῖν οὐ μὴ τελέσητε τὰς πόλεις τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἕως ἔλθῃ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου)

Here, Christians disagree on what the clause the Son of Man comes refers to. It could describe Jesus’ second coming; the time when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem, which was Jesus coming to judge and punish; Jesus’ ascension to be enthroned in heaven; or Jesus’ appearances to the disciples after his resurrection; or several other events. If possible, express the idea here in such a way that all of these options are possible. Alternate translation: [before the Son of Man comes again] or [before the coming of the Son of Man]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ἔλθῃ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

/may/_come the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man

Here Jesus speaks about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person. Alternate translation: [I, the Son of Man, come]
