Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

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 man’s child said in contrast with what his father told him to do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [In response,] or [In contrast,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

εἶπεν, οὐ θέλω

said not ˱I˲_/am/_willing

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [said that he would not,]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐ θέλω

not ˱I˲_/am/_willing

Here the man’s child means that he will not go and work in the vineyard. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [I will not work in the vineyard]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential

ὕστερον

later

Here, the word afterward introduces something that happened after the man’s child said I will not. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces something that happened later. Alternate translation: [later that day]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

μεταμεληθεὶς

/having_been/_regretful

Here, the phrase changed his mind refers to deciding to do something that one had previously chosen not to do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [having second thoughts] or [having reconsidered]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀπῆλθεν

˱he˲_went_away

Here Jesus implies that the man’s child went to the vineyard and worked there. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [he went and worked in the vineyard]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἀπῆλθεν

˱he˲_went_away

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