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 / reduplication

μοι, Κύριε, Κύριε

˱to˲_me Lord Lord

Here Jesus could quote these people repeating the word Lord in order to: (1) express the urgency or earnestness of the address. Alternate translation: “to me, ‘My Lord!’” (2) show that this address happens often. Alternate translation: “to me repeatedly, ‘Lord’”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀλλ’ ὁ ποιῶν

but the_‹one› doing

Here Jesus means that the only people who enter into the kingdom of the heavens are those who do God’s will. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “but only the one doing”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

ὁ ποιῶν

¬which the_‹one› doing

The phrase the one doing represents anyone who does these things in general, not one particular person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “those who do”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὸ θέλημα τοῦ Πατρός μου τοῦ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς

the will ˱of˲_the Father ˱of˲_me who_‹is› in the heavens

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of will, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “what my Father in the heavens desires”

Note 5 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

τοῦ Πατρός μου

˱of˲_the Father ˱of˲_me

Father is an important title that describe the relationship between God the Father and Jesus.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῦ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς

˱of˲_the who_‹is› in the heavens

Here, the phrase in the heavens identifies the location in which God the Father is specially present and from which he rules. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “who is in the heavens”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

τοῦ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς

˱of˲_the who_‹is› in the heavens

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “in the heavens will enter into the kingdom of the heavens”
