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.

OET (OET-RV)But what does it matter to you all, anyway? There was a man who had two children and he went up to the first one and instructed, ‘Son, go and work in my vineyard today.’

A_man was_having two children.
And having_approached to_the_ first _one he_said:

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces the next topic that Jesus wishes to speak about. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next topic, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [Next,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί & ὑμῖν δοκεῖ?

what & ˱to˲_you_all ˱it˲_/is/_supposing

Jesus is using the question form to get the attention of the chief priests and the elders. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [I want you to pay attention to what I am about to say.] or [listen to this!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parables

ἄνθρωπος εἶχεν τέκνα δύο

/a/_man /was/_having children two

To teach the chief priests and the elders, Jesus offers a story or illustration. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: [Listen to this story: A man had two children]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τῷ πρώτῳ

˱to˲_the_‹one› first

Jesus is using the adjective first as a noun to mean the first child. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [the first child]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῷ πρώτῳ

˱to˲_the_‹one› first

Here, the word first could imply that: (1) this child was the older one. Alternate translation: [the older] (2) this child simply the first one with whom the father spoke. Alternate translation: [the first one he found]

Note 6 topic: translate-ordinal

τῷ πρώτῳ

˱to˲_the_‹one› first

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you could use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [child one]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

εἶπεν, τέκνον, ὕπαγε σήμερον, ἐργάζου ἐν τῷ ἀμπελῶνι

˱he˲_said child /be/_going today /be/_working in the vineyard

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [he called him son and told him to go work that day in the vineyard.]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ὕπαγε & ἐργάζου

/be/_going & /be/_working

Since the man is talking to one of his children, the commands here are singular.

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ὕπαγε

/be/_going

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