5:26 αν ¦ ου ANT
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).
5:21-47 You have heard. . . . But I say: Jesus contrasts his own teaching to six misinterpretations of the law. Each antithesis provides an example of the surpassing righteousness of Jesus. Jesus reveals the will of God as it contrasts with traditions.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd
σοι, οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθῃς & ἀποδῷς
˱to˲_you by_no_means not ˱you˲_/may/_come_out & ˱you˲_/may/_give_back
Even though Jesus is speaking to many disciples, he is addressing an individual situation, so you is 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 form of you in your translation.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
οὐ μὴ
by_no_means not
The words translated certainly not are two negative words. In this construction, the second negative does not cancel the first to create a positive meaning. Instead, it gives greater emphasis to the negative. If your language can use two negatives that do not cancel one another to create a positive meaning, you could use a double negative here. If your language does not use two negatives in that way, you could translate with one strong negative, as the ULT does. Alternate translation: “by no means”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go
οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθῃς
by_no_means not ˱you˲_/may/_come_out
In a context such as this, your language might say “go” instead of come. Alternate translation: “you will certainly not go out”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἕως ἂν ἀποδῷς τὸν ἔσχατον κοδράντην
until ¬wishfully ˱you˲_/may/_give_back the last quadran
Here Jesus implies that the “judge” required the person to pay a fine or give money to the person who accused him or her. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “until you have paid the last quadrans that the judge required”
Note 5 topic: translate-bmoney
τὸν ἔσχατον κοδράντην
the last quadran
A quadrans was one of the smallest and least valuable coins in circulation in this place and time. It was equivalent to about an eighth of an hour’s wage. You could try to express this amount in terms of current monetary values, but that might cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate, since those values can change over time. So instead you might use the name of the least valuable coin in your culture, or a general expression. Alternate translation: “the last penny” or “every bit of money that your creditor demands”
