OET (OET-RV)God told us to honour our father and our mother, and also that anyone who speaks evil about their father or mother deserves the death penalty.

Be_honouring the father and the mother, and:
The one speaking_evil of_father or mother, let_be_dying in_death.

SR-GNT γὰρ ˚Θεὸς ἐνετείλατο λέγων, ‘Τίμα τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὴν μητέρα’, καί, ‘ κακολογῶν πατέρα μητέρα, θανάτῳ τελευτάτω.’

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

15:1-20 Jesus indicted the Pharisees for disobeying God’s law in their zeal to preserve traditions.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces an explanation of how the scribes and Pharisees transgress God’s law. This explanation continues in 14:5–6. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: [Here is how you do that:] or [What I mean is that]

Note 2 topic: translate-textvariants

ὁ & Θεὸς ἐνετείλατο λέγων

¬the & God commanded saying

Many ancient manuscripts read God commanded, saying. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “God said.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

λέγων

saying

Here Jesus quotes from the Old Testament scriptures. The first quotation could be from Exodus 20:12 or Deuteronomy 5:16. The second quotation could be from Exodus 21:17 or Leviticus 20:9. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a quotation from an important text, and you could include this information in a footnote. Alternate translation: [saying in the law he gave to Moses] or [speaking through Moses]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

λέγων, τίμα τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὴν μητέρα καί ὁ κακολογῶν πατέρα ἢ μητέρα, θανάτῳ τελευτάτω

saying /be/_honoring the father and the mother and the_‹one› speaking_evil ˱of˲_father or mother ˱in˲_death /let_be/_dying

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there are not quotations within a quotation. Alternate translation: [saying that all people should honor their father and their mother and that everyone speaking evil of his father or mother should end in death]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

τίμα τὸν & τὴν

/be/_honoring the & the

Since God is addressing each specific person who is part of God’s people, the command the words your and your are singular.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

ὁ κακολογῶν πατέρα ἢ μητέρα, θανάτῳ τελευτάτω

¬the the_‹one› speaking_evil ˱of˲_father or mother ˱in˲_death /let_be/_dying

If your language does not use the third-person imperative in this way, you could state this in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [The one speaking evil of his father or mother, he should end in death] or [Anyone who speaks evil of his father or mother must end in death]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ὁ κακολογῶν

¬the the_‹one› speaking_evil

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of evil, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [The one saying evil things about]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

θανάτῳ τελευτάτω

˱in˲_death /let_be/_dying

Here, the phrase end in death means that the person is killed or executed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [let him be put to death] or [let him be killed]

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τελευτάτω

/let_be/_dying

Although the term him 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: [let that person end]
