MAT 6:12 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.

6.12 Et dimitte, etc. Post cibum petit veniam peccatorum, ut qui a Deo pascitur, in Deo vivat, et ad vitam æternam perveniat. Cum dicimus: Dimitte nobis debita nostra: spiritum scientiæ rogamus, quo delicta intelligimus, quæ sine spiritu scientiæ non intelliguntur. Scientia quippe ad usum temporalium pertinet, quæ virtus est, in vitandis malis et petendis bonis, ut nostra et aliorum contagia ploremus, bona cupiamus. Sicut. Ecce qua cautione constringimur, in qua etiam nos adinvicem ad misericordiam inflectit, et peccantibus in se veniam promittit, et nobis et per nos aliis veniam promittit. Culpæ veniam non debemus negare; unde: Cum oratis, remittite si quid habetis adversus aliquem: aliter enim Pater vester non dimittet vobis peccata vestra. Pecuniam alicui repetere conceditur, sed debita peccatorum petenti veniam nunquam juste negamus.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

ἄφες ἡμῖν

forgive ˱to˲_us

This is an imperative, but it should be translated as a polite request rather than as a command. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [we ask that you forgive us]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὰ ὀφειλήματα ἡμῶν & τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν

the debts ˱of˲_us & ˱to˲_the debtors ˱of˲_us

A debt is what one person owes another person. A debtor is a person who owes a debt to another person. Jesus is not speaking primarily about money, however. He is referring to when people do not act properly or rightly. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [our sins … those who sin against us] or [the wrong things we have done … people who have wronged us]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν

˱to˲_the debtors ˱of˲_us

Here Jesus is using the possessive form to describe debtors who are in debt to the people praying this prayer. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [people in debt to us]
