MAT 20:2 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 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.

20.2 Conventione. Id est, confirmata promissione quod ad imaginem Dei reformandi essent, si Ecclesiam ædificando mandatis decalogi insisterent. Ex denario. HIER. Denarius habet imaginem regis, etc., usque ad vel in ultimis resipiscite. A novissimis usque, etc. Quia qui in adventu Domini vocati sunt ad regnum, sine aliqua tarditate perveniunt, æquales his qui ab initio mundi cœperunt, omnes quidem idem cœlum, sed stella differt a stella in claritate. A novissimis incœpit, dum prius latronem quam Petrum in paradisum introduxit. Quia prius aliquando remunerantur sero venientes, quia prius de corpore exeunt, quam qui in pueritia vocati sunt.

δὲ

and

Here, the word Now introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: [Then]

συμφωνήσας & μετὰ τῶν ἐργατῶν ἐκ δηναρίου τὴν ἡμέραν

˓having˒_agreed_together & with the workers for ˓a˒_denarius ˱for˲_the day

Here Jesus implies that the master of the house found some workers, told them what he wanted them to do, and then agreed with them on how much he would pay them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make some of that information more explicit. Alternate translation: [having located some workers and having agreed to pay them a denarius for the day]

Note 3 topic: translate-bmoney

δηναρίου

˓a˒_denarius

A denarius was a silver coin equivalent to about one day’s wage for a hired worker. You could try to express this amount in terms of current monetary values, but that might cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate, since those values can change over time. So instead you might state something more general or give the equivalent in wages. Alternate translation: [one silver coin] or [an average wage]
