MAT 22:39 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 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

δευτέρα

/the/_second

Jesus is using the number second as a noun to mean a second commandment. Your language may use numbers in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “a second commandment”

Note 2 topic: translate-ordinal

δευτέρα

/the/_second

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you could use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “number two”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁμοία αὐτῇ

similar ˱to˲_it

Here, phrase like it could indicate that this second commandment is: (1) similar in content. Alternate translation: “requires something similar” (2) similar in importance. Alternate translation: “is just as great”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

ὁμοία αὐτῇ, ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν

similar ˱to˲_it ˱you˲_/will_be/_loving the neighbor ˱of˲_you as yourself

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “is like it—to love one’s neighbor as oneself.”

Note 5 topic: writing-quotations

ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου

˱you˲_/will_be/_loving the neighbor ˱of˲_you

Here Jesus begins to quote from an important text, in this case, the Old Testament book of Leviticus (see Leviticus 19:18). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that indicates that Jesus is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: “as you can read in the book of Leviticus, ‘You will love your neighbor” or “it says in the law, ‘You will love your neighbor”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ἀγαπήσεις & σου & σεαυτόν

˱you˲_/will_be/_loving & ˱of˲_you & yourself

Since in this command God is addressing each specific person who is part of God’s people, the words You and your and yourself are singular.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

ἀγαπήσεις

˱you˲_/will_be/_loving

The author of the quotation is using the future form to give a command. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea using a form that expresses a command or obligation. Alternate translation: “You should love” or “You must love”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὡς σεαυτόν

as yourself

The author of the quotation is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “as you love yourself”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

ὡς σεαυτόν

as yourself

The author of the quotation assumes that people love themselves, so he wants these people to love their neighbors just as much. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “as deeply as yourself”
