MARK 4:7 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: grammar-collectivenouns

ἄλλο & αὐτό & οὐκ ἔδωκεν

other & it & not ˱it˲_gave

In this verse, the word other and the word it throughout the verse are singular in form, but they refer to many seeds as a group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this plainly. Alternate translation: “others … them … they did not produce”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ἄλλο

other

Jesus is using the adjective other as a noun to mean some of the rest of the seed that did not fall beside the road or on rocky soil. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. See how you translated the word in 4:5. Alternate translation: “some of the rest of the seed”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀνέβησαν αἱ ἄκανθαι καὶ συνέπνιξαν αὐτό

went_up the thorns and choked it

Here Jesus means that the thorns grew quickly and took all the nutrients, water, and sunlight, so the farmer’s plants could not grow well. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the thorns grew very large and crowded it out” or “the thorns grew faster and kept it from growing well”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καρπὸν οὐκ ἔδωκεν

fruit not ˱it˲_gave

Here the word fruit refers to the crop that the plants that grew from the seeds should have produced. Since the farmer is sowing wheat seeds, this crop would have been more wheat seeds. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “it did not produce more seeds” or “when it sprouted it did not produce a harvest”

Note 5 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

καρπὸν

fruit

Here, the word fruit is singular in form, but it refers to many fruits as a group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this plainly. Alternate translation: “fruits”
