12.11 Quis erit. Competenti exemplo solvit quæstionem, ut eos ostendat sabbatum violare in opere cupiditatis, qui eum violare arguunt in opere charitatis.

Id est, peccatum. Sic et in æterna requie a malis tantum feriabuntur, non a bonis.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τίς ἔσται ἐξ ὑμῶν ἄνθρωπος, ὃς ἕξει πρόβατον ἕν, καὶ ἐὰν ἐμπέσῃ τοῦτο τοῖς Σάββασιν εἰς βόθυνον, οὐχὶ κρατήσει αὐτὸ καὶ ἐγερεῖ?

what will_be of you_all person who /will_be/_having sheep one and if /may/_fall_in this ˱on˲_the Sabbaths into /a/_pit not /will_be/_taking_hold_of it and /will_be/_raising_‹it›

Jesus uses a question to respond to the Pharisees. He is challenging them to think about what kind of work they do on the Sabbath. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “Every man among you, if he has one sheep that falls into a pit on the Sabbaths, will definitely grasp hold of it and lift it out.” or “There is no man among you who, having one sheep that falls into a pit on the sabbaths, will not grasp hold of it and lift it out!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

τίς ἔσται ἐξ ὑμῶν ἄνθρωπος, ὃς ἕξει πρόβατον ἕν, καὶ ἐὰν ἐμπέσῃ τοῦτο τοῖς Σάββασιν εἰς βόθυνον, οὐχὶ κρατήσει αὐτὸ καὶ ἐγερεῖ

what will_be of you_all person who /will_be/_having sheep one and if /may/_fall_in this ˱on˲_the Sabbaths into /a/_pit not /will_be/_taking_hold_of it and /will_be/_raising_‹it›

Here Jesus uses an imaginary situation to help explain when it is appropriate to work on the Sabbaths. Use a natural method in your language for introducing an imaginary situation. Alternate translation: “What would one of you do if you had one sheep, and it fell into a pit on the Sabbaths? You would grasp hold of it and lift it out, wouldn’t you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πρόβατον ἕν

sheep one

Here, the phrase one sheep could imply that: (1) the person only owns one sheep. Alternate translation: “only one sheep” (2) the person owns more than one sheep, but only this one falls into a pit. Alternate translation: “a sheep”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἄνθρωπος

person

Although the term man is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “person”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τοῖς Σάββασιν

˱on˲_the Sabbaths

Here Jesus uses the phrase on the Sabbaths to indicate that this event would occur on a Sabbath day. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “on one of the Sabbath days” or “during a Sabbath day”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐχὶ κρατήσει αὐτὸ καὶ ἐγερεῖ

not /will_be/_taking_hold_of it and /will_be/_raising_‹it›

Here Jesus implies that these actions are considered work, which would normally break the Sabbath commandments. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this idea more explicitly. Alternate translation: “will not work on the Sabbath by grasping hold of it and lifting it out”
