13:14 αυτοις ¦ επ αυτοις TR
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).
13:1-53 In the third major discourse recorded by Matthew (see study note on Matt 5:1–7:29), Jesus here recognized the separation of his followers from others (13:14, 16) and began to reveal the secrets of the Kingdom privately to them through parables.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἀναπληροῦται αὐτοῖς ἡ προφητεία Ἠσαΐου
/is_being/_fulfilled ˱to˲_them the prophecy ˱of˲_Isaiah
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “they are fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah” or “what they do fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah”
Note 2 topic: writing-quotations
ἀναπληροῦται & ἡ προφητεία Ἠσαΐου ἡ λέγουσα
/is_being/_fulfilled & the prophecy ˱of˲_Isaiah ¬which saying
In Jesus’s culture, this was a normal way to introduce a quotation from an important text, in this case, the Old Testament book written by Isaiah the prophet (see Isaiah 6:9–10). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Jesus is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: “the prophecy from the book of Isaiah is being fulfilled. Here is the prophecy:” or “is being fulfilled what Isaiah prophesied when he wrote”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication
ἀκοῇ ἀκούσετε & βλέποντες βλέψετε
˱with˲_hearing ˱you_all˲_/will_be/_hearing & seeing ˱you_all˲_/will_be/_seeing
Here the author of the quotation repeats the words hear and see in order to emphasize that the people really do hear and see. If your language can repeat words for emphasis, it would be appropriate to use that construction here in your translation. Otherwise, you could express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “You will certainly hear … you will certainly see” or “You will indeed hear … you will indeed see”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
(Occurrence -1) οὐ μὴ
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἀναπληροῦται αὐτοῖς ἡ προφητεία Ἠσαΐου ἡ λέγουσα ἀκοῇ ἀκούσετε καὶ οὐ μὴ συνῆτε καὶ βλέποντες βλέψετε καὶ οὐ μὴ ἴδητε)
The words translated certainly not are two negative words in the original Greek. 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 … by no means”
