MAT 7:10 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.

(aut when/but_if piscem petierit, numquid serpentem porriget ei? )

7.10 Si piscem. Per piscem, fides quæ sub fluentis Spiritus sancti nutritur. Piscem dicit invisibilium fidem: vel propter aquam baptismi, vel quia de invisibilibus locis capitur, vel quia fluctibus hujus mundi non frangitur. In Evangelio Lucæ sequitur comparatio ovi et scorpionis. In ovo et spes accipitur, quia in eo nondum est fœtus persecutus; sed fovendo speratur. In scorpione, cujus aculeus retro timendus est, accipitur contrarium spei, scilicet retro aspicere, cum spes se debeat in anteriora extendere.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

ἢ

Here, the word Or introduces another similar example. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces another example, or you could leave Or untranslated. Alternate translation: “Again,”

ἢ καὶ ἰχθὺν αἰτήσει, μὴ ὄφιν ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ?

or also /a/_fish /will_be/_requesting not /a/_serpent /will_be/_handing_out ˱to˲_him

Alternate translation: “Or he will not give him a snake when he asks for a fish, will he”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ἢ καὶ ἰχθὺν αἰτήσει, μὴ ὄφιν ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ?

or also /a/_fish /will_be/_requesting not /a/_serpent /will_be/_handing_out ˱to˲_him

Jesus asks another question to teach the people about how God gives gifts. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “And there is not one person among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

ἢ καὶ ἰχθὺν αἰτήσει, μὴ ὄφιν ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ

or also /a/_fish /will_be/_requesting not /a/_serpent /will_be/_handing_out ˱to˲_him

Here Jesus uses an imaginary situation to help explain how parents give good things, not bad things, to their children. Use a natural method in your language for introducing an imaginary situation. Alternate translation: “Or imagine that same man again. When his son asks him for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

καὶ ἰχθὺν αἰτήσει, μὴ ὄφιν ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ

also /a/_fish /will_be/_requesting not /a/_serpent /will_be/_handing_out ˱to˲_him

Although Jesus continues to use the example of a father and his son, he does not mean that this example applies only to fathers and sons. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that includes all parents and children. Alternate translation: “the child will also ask for a fish—the parents will not give the child a snake, will they”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὄφιν

/a/_serpent

In this culture, people did not eat snakes. So Jesus is saying that a father would not give a son something the son could not eat if the son asked for something that he could eat. If people do eat snakes in your culture, you could use the name of something that they do not eat, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “something he cannot eat”
