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.

OET (OET-RV) You brag, ‘I’m rich, yes I’ve grown rich and don’t have any needs,’ but you don’t realise that you’re actually miserable and pitiable, and poor and blind and naked.
OET-LV Because you_are_saying, that Rich I_am, and I_have_become_rich, and nothing need I_am_having, and not you_have_known that you are the miserable, and pitiful, and poor, and blind, and naked.
SR-GNT Ὅτι λέγεις, ὅτι ‘Πλούσιός εἰμι, καὶ πεπλούτηκα, καὶ οὐδὲν χρείαν ἔχω’, καὶ οὐκ οἶδας ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ ταλαίπωρος, καὶ ἐλεεινὸς, καὶ πτωχὸς, καὶ τυφλὸς, καὶ γυμνός. ‡
(Hoti legeis, hoti ‘Plousios eimi, kai peploutaʸka, kai ouden ⱪreian eⱪō’, kai ouk oidas hoti su ei ho talaipōros, kai eleʼeinos, kai ptōⱪos, kai tuflos, kai gumnos.)

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
ὅτι λέγεις, ὅτι πλούσιός εἰμι, καὶ πεπλούτηκα, καὶ οὐδὲν χρείαν ἔχω
because ˱you˲_/are/_saying ¬that rich ˱I˲_am and ˱I˲_/have/_become_rich and nothing need ˱I˲_/am/_having
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [For you say that you are rich and have become wealthy and have no need]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
ὁ ταλαίπωρος, καὶ ἐλεεινὸς, καὶ πτωχὸς, καὶ τυφλὸς, καὶ γυμνός
¬the miserable and pitiful and poor and blind and naked
Jesus is using the adjectives miserable, pitiable, poor, blind and naked as nouns to describe a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. Other languages may have other ways of showing this meaning, such as the ULT does by adding the word one. Alternate translation: [a person who is miserable, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὁ ταλαίπωρος, καὶ ἐλεεινὸς, καὶ πτωχὸς, καὶ τυφλὸς, καὶ γυμνός
¬the miserable and pitiful and poor and blind and naked
Jesus is speaking as if the Laodiceans were literally miserable, pitiable, poor, blind and naked. He means that this is what they are like spiritually. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [spiritually very needy and unhealthy]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ὁ ταλαίπωρος, καὶ ἐλεεινὸς, καὶ πτωχὸς, καὶ τυφλὸς, καὶ γυμνός
¬the miserable and pitiful and poor and blind and naked
The words miserable, pitiable, and poor mean similar things. Jesus is using these terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [extremely poor as well as blind and naked]
