9:33-50 Because the disciples did not understand Jesus’ prediction of his suffering, they were unable to see its implications for their own lives.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical
ἐὰν ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου σκανδαλίζῃ σε
if the eye ˱of˲_you /may_be/_stumbling you
Jesus is suggesting that this is a hypothetical condition, that the disciples might experience their eye causing them to stumble. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a situation that could happen. Alternate translation: “consider this situation: your eye causes you to stumble. If that were to happen”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου σκανδαλίζῃ σε
the eye ˱of˲_you /may_be/_stumbling you
Here, Jesus speaks of your eye as if it were a person who could cause you to stumble. He means that the eye is the part of the body that is involved in the stumbling. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “it is your eye’s fault that you stumble” or “you stumble with your eye”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd
σου σκανδαλίζῃ σε, ἔκβαλε αὐτόν & σέ
˱of˲_you /may_be/_stumbling you cast_out it & you
Even though Jesus is speaking to many disciples, he is addressing an individual situation, so your and you throughout this verse as well as the command throw it out are singular. But if the singular form would not be natural in your language for someone who is speaking to a group of people, you could use plural forms in your translation. If you do so, you may also need to make some other words plural.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
σκανδαλίζῃ σε
/may_be/_stumbling you
Here, Jesus is speaking of sinning as if it were stumbling. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “causes you to sin”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
ἔκβαλε αὐτόν
cast_out it
Here Jesus provides the most extreme response to sinning. He does not mean that this should be the normal way to deal with sin. You should preserve the extreme language Jesus uses, but you could use a form that indicates that this is the most extreme example. Alternate translation: “if necessary you should even throw it out!”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
βληθῆναι
/to_be/_cast
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 did the action, it is clear from the context that it was God. Alternate translation: “for God to throw you”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὴν Γέενναν
the ¬the Gehenna
See how you translated Gehenna in 9:43. Alternate translation: “a place like the valley of Gehenna” or “hell, which is like Gehenna valley”
