MAT 16:2 Parallel Verse View

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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

λέγετε, εὐδία; πυρράζει γὰρ ὁ οὐρανός

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς)

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [you say that it will be fair weather, for the sky is red]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

εὐδία; πυρράζει γὰρ ὁ οὐρανός

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς)

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second clause gives the reason for the result that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: [The sky is red, so it will be fair weather]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εὐδία

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς)

Here the people speaking are implying that the fair weather will take place on the next day. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [fair weather tomorrow]
