MAT 6:17 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 as a tool 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.

ClVg Tu autem, cum jejunas, unge caput tuum, et faciem tuam lava,[fn]
(You(sg) however, when/with yeyunas, unge the_head your, and face your(sg) lava, )

6.17 Unge caput tuum. Spirituali lætitia mentem refice diebus abstinentiæ: ut dilectionis odor fragret in operibus misericordiæ. Conscientiam lava lacrymis: ut sit munda coram Deo. Non enim sufficit opus misericordiæ sine munda conscientia: nec hoc sine illo. Palæstinis mos erat in festis caput ungere: ergo caput unge, id est, festivum et hilarem te exhibe: et mentem spirituali oleo refice: et de jejunio non quæras laudem exterius. Sed quia sic a sæculo averteris, coram Deo gaudeas: et sic faciem, id est cor, mundabis a sordibus: quibus remotis, Deum videre licebit. Unge caput tuum. Ecce nondum omnia in Novo Testamento ad litteram. Ridiculi enim essent in jejunio oleo delibuti: sed de spiritu amoris ejus, cujus passionibus debemus participare nos macerandum, mens debet inungi et non oleo adulationis: aliter vana sunt jejunia. Christus factus est unguentum nobis: quod effusum per passionem mortis Ecclesiam suam suo odore implevit. Ideo non alterius causa jejunare debemus: sed ejus perfusi spiritu per abstinentiam macerantes carnem ejus passioni participemus. Illo ergo ungamur: ut opera misericordiæ cumulentur: et charitas interius diffundatur: quia sine illo calix nostri jejunii non inebriatur affectu pietatis. Deo jejunat qui pro amore ejus se macerat et quod sibi subtrahit alteri largitur.

6.17 Unge the_head your. By_Spiritali joy mindm refice days abstinentiæ: as of_love smell fragret in/into/on works of_mercy. Conknowledge lava lacrymis: as let_it_be munda before to_God. Not/No because sufficit work/need of_mercy without munda conknowledge/skill: but_not this without illo. Palæstinis mos was in/into/on festis the_head ungere: therefore the_head unge, id it_is, festivum and hilarem you(sg) exhibe: and mindm in_spiritali with_oil refice: and from/about yeyunio not/no quæras praise outside. But because so from forever you_turn_away, before to_God gaudeas: and so face, id it_is cor, mundabis from sordibus: to_whom remotis, God seere licebit. Unge the_head your. Behold nondum everything in/into/on Novo Tesneverthelessto to literally. Ridiculi because they_would_be in/into/on yeyunio with_oil delibuti: but from/about in_spirit amoris his, whose passionibus debemus to_the_partycipare we/us macerandum, mind must inungi and not/no with_oil adulationis: aliter in_vain are yeyunia. Christ became it_is ointment us: that spilled through passionem of_death Assembly/Churchm his_own his_own smelle he_fulfilled. Therefore/For_that_reason not/no the_otherius cause yeyunare debemus: but his perfusi in_spirit through abstinentiam macerantes the_flesh his passioni to_the_partycipemus. Illo therefore ungamur: as works of_mercy when/withulentur: and charitas inside diffundatur: because without that cup our yeyunii not/no inebriatur with_feeling pietatis. to_God yeyunat who for with_love his himself macerat and that to_himself subtrahit the_otheri largitur.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

σὺ δὲ

you but

Here, the phrase But you introduces what Jesus wants each of his disciples to do in contrast to what the “hypocrites” do, which he described in the previous verse ([6:16](../06/16.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast. Alternate translation: [As for you, however]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

σὺ & σου & σου

you & ˱of˲_you & ˱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 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἄλειψαί σου τὴν κεφαλὴν καὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου νίψαι

anoint ˱of˲_you the head and the face ˱of˲_you wash

Here, to anoint the head and to wash the face is to take normal care of one’s self. Doing this gives the appearance that you are living life as normal. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use similar phrases that refer to normal bodily care, or you could use a general statement. Alternate translation: [comb your hair and wash your face as you normally do] or [take care of yourself as you usually do]
