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.

OET-LV Then it_is_saying:
I_will_be_turning_back to the house of_me whence I_came_out.
And having_come, it_is_finding being_unoccupied having_been_swept and having_been_adorned.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
λέγει, εἰς τὸν οἶκόν μου ἐπιστρέψω ὅθεν ἐξῆλθον & καὶ ἐλθὸν
˱it˲_/is/_saying to the house ˱of˲_me ˱I˲_/will_be/_turning_back whence ˱I˲_came_out & and (Some words not found in SR-GNT: τότε λέγει εἰς τὸν οἶκόν μου ἐπιστρέψω ὅθεν ἐξῆλθον καὶ ἐλθὸν εὑρίσκει σχολάζοντα σεσαρωμένον καὶ κεκοσμημένον)
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [it says that it will return to its house from which it came out. And having come]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor
εἰς τὸν οἶκόν μου & ὅθεν ἐξῆλθον
to the house ˱of˲_me & whence ˱I˲_came_out
Here the demon refers to the person it formerly controlled as if he were its house. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use simile form or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to the person whom I used to control, who is like a house from which I came out] or [to the man from whom I came out]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go
ἐλθὸν
/having/_come
In a context such as this, your language might say “gone” instead of come. Alternate translation: [having gone]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor
εὑρίσκει σχολάζοντα σεσαρωμένον καὶ κεκοσμημένον
˱it˲_/is/_finding being_unoccupied /having_been/_swept and /having_been/_adorned
Here Jesus refers to the person whom the demon formerly controlled as if he were a house that was empty, swept out, and put in order. This means that no one is living in the house, so it is ready for someone to move in. Similarly, the person is not serving or obeying anyone, so he is ready for someone to lead or control him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use simile form or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [it finds the man like an empty house, having been swept out and put in order] or [it finds that the man is not serving anybody, but he is living a good life]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
σεσαρωμένον καὶ κεκοσμημένον
/having_been/_swept and /having_been/_adorned
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: [and a person has swept it out and put it in order]
