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: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

εἶπεν

said

Here Matthew does not specify to whom Jesus said these words. It is possible that it was the woman, or more likely, the disciples. If possible, do not specify to whom Jesus said these words. Alternate translation: [spoke these words:]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions

οὐκ ἀπεστάλην εἰ μὴ εἰς τὰ πρόβατα τὰ ἀπολωλότα οἴκου Ἰσραήλ

not ˱I˲_/was/_sent_out except ¬not/lest to the sheep ¬which /having/_lost ˱of˲_/the/_house ˱of˲_Israel

If it would in appear your language that Jesus was making a statement here and then contradicting it, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: [I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὐκ ἀπεστάλην

not ˱I˲_/was/_sent_out

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. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was God. Alternate translation: [God did not send me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὰ πρόβατα τὰ ἀπολωλότα οἴκου Ἰσραήλ

the sheep ¬which /having/_lost ˱of˲_/the/_house ˱of˲_Israel

Here, Jesus could be using the possessive form to describe: (1) all of the house of Israel as lost sheep. Alternate translation: [the lost sheep, who are the house of Israel] (2) some of the house of Israel as lost sheep. Alternate translation: [the lost sheep among the house of Israel]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὰ πρόβατα τὰ ἀπολωλότα οἴκου Ἰσραήλ

the sheep ¬which /having/_lost ˱of˲_/the/_house ˱of˲_Israel

Here Jesus speaks of his fellow Jewish people as if they were lost sheep. He means that they are not following God and need help. This is an important metaphor in the Bible, so you could preserve the figure of speech or use simile form. See how you translated this phrase in 10:6. Alternate translation: [the house of Israel, who are like lost sheep] or [the house of Israel, who are far away from God, like lost sheep]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οἴκου Ἰσραήλ

˱of˲_/the/_house ˱of˲_Israel

Here Jesus refers to a people group or nation as if it were a house. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. See how you translated this phrase in 10:6. Alternate translation: [of the nation of Israel] or [of the Israelites]
