MAT 7:2 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.

Et juste quorum voluntas non habuit finem peccandi, quamvis cum fine peccaverint, non habent finem ultionis; et quibus judicium fuit sine misericordia, sine misericordia judicabuntur. In qua mensura.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a further explanation of the command that Jesus gave in the previous verse (7:1). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “In fact,” or “That is because”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν ᾧ & κρίματι κρίνετε

with what & judgment ˱you_all˲_/are/_judging

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: “in the manner that you judge”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

κριθήσεσθε

˱you_all˲_/will_be_being/_judged

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, it is clear from the context that it is God. Alternate translation: “God will judge you”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

καὶ

and

Here, the word and introduces a more general statement in proverb form. This general proverb provides further proof that people will be judged as they have judged others. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a more general statement or proverb. Alternate translation: “just as some people say:” or “and more generally,”

Note 5 topic: writing-proverbs

ἐν ᾧ μέτρῳ μετρεῖτε, μετρηθήσεται ὑμῖν

with what with what measure ˱you_all˲_/are/_measuring ˱it˲_/will_be_being/_measured ˱to˲_you_all

Here, Jesus uses or invents a proverb in order to teach that people eventually experience for themselves how they have treated other people. Translate this proverb in a way that will be recognized as a proverb and be meaningful in your language and culture. Alternate translation: “what you give to others is what you will get in return” or “what you do to others will be done to you”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν ᾧ μέτρῳ μετρεῖτε

with what with what measure ˱you_all˲_/are/_measuring

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of measure, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “in the manner that you measure”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

μετρηθήσεται ὑμῖν

˱it˲_/will_be_being/_measured ˱to˲_you_all

Note 8 topic: writing-pronouns

μετρηθήσεται

˱it˲_/will_be_being/_measured

Here, the word it refers to what you measure out to other people. Jesus is speaking in general about anything that people measure, so you should avoid making the phrase specific. Alternate translation: “the same thing will be measured” or “that very thing will be measured”
