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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ὃς ἔχει ὦτα ἀκούειν, ἀκουέτω
who /is/_having ears /to_be/_hearing ˱him˲_/let_be/_hearing
Here, the phrase ears to hear represents the willingness to understand and obey. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Whoever wishes to understand, let him understand and obey” or “Whoever can listen to me should pay attention”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
ὃς ἔχει ὦτα ἀκούειν, ἀκουέτω
who /is/_having ears /to_be/_hearing ˱him˲_/let_be/_hearing
Jesus is speaking directly to his audience, not about other people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the second person plural here. Alternate translation: “You who have ears to hear should hear” or “If you have ears to hear, then hear”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p
ἀκουέτω
˱him˲_/let_be/_hearing
If your language does not use the third-person imperative in this way, you could state this in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “he should hear”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ἀκουέτω
˱him˲_/let_be/_hearing
Although the term him is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “let that person hear”
