MAT 18:30 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 as a tool 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: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

and

Here, the word But introduces what the first slave did in contrast to what the other slave asked (see [18:29](../18/29.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use another word or phrase that introduces a contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [Despite that,]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ὁ & οὐκ ἤθελεν & ἔβαλεν αὐτὸν & ἀποδῷ

¬which & not ˱he˲_˓was˒_willing & ˱he˲_cast him & ˱he˲_˓may˒_give_back

Here, the pronoun he in the phrase he was not willing and the pronoun he in the phrase he threw refer to the first slave. The pronoun him and the pronoun he in the phrase he might repay refer to his fellow slave. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to these people more directly. Alternate translation: [the first slave was not willing … he threw his fellow slave … his fellow slave might repay]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐκ ἤθελεν

not ˱he˲_˓was˒_willing

Here Jesus implies that the first slave was not willing to be patient and wait for the other slave to pay him back. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [was not willing to have patience]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἀπελθὼν

˓having˒_gone_away

In a context such as this, your language might say “come” instead of gone. Alternate translation: [having come away]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἔβαλεν αὐτὸν εἰς φυλακὴν

˱he˲_cast him into prison

Here, the phrase he threw him into prison refers to locking someone up in prison. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he put him into prison] or [he locked him up in prison]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔβαλεν αὐτὸν

˱he˲_cast him

Here Jesus implies that the slave sent someone else to do this. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [he had people throw him]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸ ὀφειλόμενον

the_‹thing› ˓being˒_owed

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 the fellow slave. Alternate translation: [what he owed]
