MAT 5:40 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 / hypo

τῷ θέλοντί σοι κριθῆναι καὶ τὸν χιτῶνά σου λαβεῖν, ἄφες αὐτῷ καὶ τὸ ἱμάτιον

˱to˲_the_‹one› willing you /to_be/_judged and the tunic ˱of˲_you /to/_take allow ˱to˲_him also your coat

Jesus is using a hypothetical situation to teach. Use a natural method in your language for introducing a hypothetical situation. Alternate translation: [if someone wants to have judgment passed upon you and to take away your tunic, you should let him also have your cloak]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

σοι κριθῆναι

you /to_be/_judged

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of judgment, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [to have someone judge you] or [you to be judged]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

σοι & σου & ἄφες & τὸ

you & ˱of˲_you & allow & your

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 4 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

καὶ τὸν χιτῶνά σου λαβεῖν

and and the tunic ˱of˲_you /to/_take

Here, the word and introduces the result of judgment being passed upon you. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that makes this more explicit. Alternate translation: [with the result that he takes away your tunic]

Note 5 topic: translate-unknown

τὸν χιτῶνά & ἱμάτιον

the tunic & coat

The tunic was worn close to the body, like a heavy shirt or a sweater. The cloak, the more valuable of the two, was worn over the tunic for warmth and could be used as a blanket for warmth at night. If your readers would not be familiar with these kinds of garments, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [inner garment … outer garment]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

αὐτῷ

˱to˲_him

Although the term him is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [him or her]
