MARK 10:15 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ὑμῖν

˱to˲_you_all

Because Jesus is speaking to his disciples, the word you here is plural.

ὃς ἂν μὴ δέξηται τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ ὡς παιδίον, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς αὐτήν

whoever ¬wishfully not /may/_receive the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God as /a/_little_child by_no_means not /may/_come_in into it

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the ideas in positive form. Alternate translation: [only whoever receives the kingdom of God as a little child will enter into it]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

ὡς παιδίον

as /a/_little_child

Jesus is saying that his disciples should be like a little child because little children are humble and thankfully receive gifts. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [as a little child receives things] or [with humility like that of a little child]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐ μὴ

by_no_means not

The words translated certainly not are two negative words. In this construction, the second negative does not cancel the first to create a positive meaning. Instead, it gives greater emphasis to the negative. If your language can use two negatives that do not cancel one another to create a positive meaning, you could use a double negative here. If your language does not use two negatives in that way, you could translate with one strong negative, as the ULT does. Alternate translation: [by no means]
