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: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀπέστειλεν τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ, καλέσαι τοὺς κεκλημένους εἰς τοὺς γάμους

sent_out the slaves ˱of˲_him /to/_call the_‹ones› /having_been/_invited to the wedding_festivities

Here Jesus implies that the king had already sent out invitations and was now sending his servants to let people know that it was time to come to the feast. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [he invited many guests to the wedding feast. When it was time, he sent out his servants to call the ones having been invited]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

καλέσαι τοὺς κεκλημένους εἰς τοὺς γάμους

/to/_call the_‹ones› /having_been/_invited to the wedding_festivities

Here, the phrase to the wedding feast could go with: (1) the phrase had been invited. Alternate translation: [to call the the ones having been invited to be guests at the wedding feast] (2) the phrase to call. Alternate translation: [to call to go to the wedding feast the ones having been invited]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τοὺς κεκλημένους

the the_‹ones› /having_been/_invited

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 king himself. Alternate translation: [the ones that the king had invited]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

(Occurrence 2) καὶ

and

Here, the word and introduces what actually happened in contrast to what the king wanted. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a contrast. Alternate translation: [but]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐλθεῖν

/to/_come

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