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: writing-quotations

καὶ εἶπεν

and ˱he˲_said

Jesus introduces a quotation from an important text, in this case, the Old Testament book of Genesis (see Genesis 2:24). 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: [and said, as you can read in the book of Genesis,] or [and said in the scriptures]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ἕνεκα τούτου

on_account ˱of˲_this

The pronoun this refers to what the previous verse includes about how God created people male and female (see 19:4). If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to those ideas more directly. Alternate translation: [Because God created people that way]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καταλείψει ἄνθρωπος

/will_be/_leaving /a/_man

Here the author of the quotation implies that this happens when the man gets married. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [when he gets married, a man will leave]

Note 4 topic: translate-tense

καταλείψει & κολληθήσεται & ἔσονται

/will_be/_leaving & /will_be_being/_joined_together & will_be

Jesus uses the future tense to speak about something that is generally true. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use whatever tense is most naturally for expressing a general truth. Alternate translation: [leaves … is joined … are]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

κολληθήσεται τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ

/will_be_being/_joined_together ˱with˲_the wife ˱of˲_him

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: [will join himself to his wife] or [will unite with his wife]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἔσονται οἱ δύο εἰς σάρκα μίαν

will_be the two into flesh one

Here the author of the quotation speaks as if the two are one flesh. He means that a husband and wife are so closely joined that it is as if they had one flesh or one body between them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use simile form or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the two will be like one flesh] or [the two will be as closely united as possible]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

οἱ δύο

the two

Jesus is using the number two as a noun to refer to a husband and a wife together. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this number with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [the two of them] or [the two spouses]
