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.

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 / youcrowd

ἄφες & σου & ὕπαγε & διαλλάγηθι & σου & πρόσφερε & σου

leave & ˱of˲_you & /be/_going_away & /be/_reconciled & ˱of˲_you & /be/_offering & ˱of˲_you

Even though Jesus is speaking to many disciples, he is addressing an individual situation, so you and your are singular throughout this verse. But if the singular form would not be natural in your language for someone who is speaking to a group of people, you could use the plural forms of you and your in your translation.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὕπαγε

/be/_going_away

Here Jesus implies that the person needs to go to his or her brother. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [go to your brother]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential

πρῶτον διαλλάγηθι τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου, καὶ τότε ἐλθὼν, πρόσφερε τὸ δῶρόν σου

first /be/_reconciled ˱to˲_the brother ˱of˲_you and then /having/_come /be/_offering the gift ˱of˲_you

Here Jesus emphasizes that these two events must happen in this sequence. If it would be helpful in your language, you could emphasize the sequence in another way. Alternate translation: [before you can come back and offer your gift, you need to be reconciled with your brother]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

διαλλάγηθι τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου

/be/_reconciled ˱to˲_the brother ˱of˲_you

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. Alternate translation: [reconcile with your brother] or [restore the relationship with your brother]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου

˱to˲_the brother ˱of˲_you

Jesus is using the term brother to mean a person who follows Jesus and shares the same faith. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [with that fellow disciple]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου

˱to˲_the brother ˱of˲_you

Although the term brother is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If you retain the metaphor in your translation, and if it would be helpful in your language, you could say “with your brother or sister” to indicate this.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐλθὼν

/having/_come

Here Jesus implies that the person can come back to the altar. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [having come back to your gift at the altar]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐλθὼν

/having/_come

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