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.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

5:7 Sleep refers to moral indifference (5:6), and drunk is a metaphor for those who do not exercise self-control; they will be surprised by the day of the Lord (5:4; Matt 24:48-51).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a further explanation of the contrast between night and day (see 5:8). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a further explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “Indeed,” or “As you know,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

οἱ & καθεύδοντες, νυκτὸς καθεύδουσιν; καὶ οἱ μεθυσκόμενοι, νυκτὸς μεθύουσιν

the_‹ones› & sleeping ˱by˲_night /are/_sleeping and the_‹ones› /being/_drunk ˱by˲_night /are/_being_drunk

Here Paul provides two parallel examples of what people do at night. He repeats the same structure and the phrase at night in both clauses, which emphasizes at night. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine the two examples into one clause and emphasize at night in another way. Alternate translation: “it is at night that people sleep and drunkards get drunk” or “the ones sleeping and the ones getting drunk do so during the night”

οἱ & καθεύδοντες, νυκτὸς καθεύδουσιν; καὶ οἱ μεθυσκόμενοι, νυκτὸς μεθύουσιν

the_‹ones› & sleeping ˱by˲_night /are/_sleeping and the_‹ones› /being/_drunk ˱by˲_night /are/_being_drunk

Here Paul provides common examples of what people sometimes do during the night. He is not using sleeping and getting drunk to speak about something else. If it would be helpful in your language, you make it clearer that Paul is providing examples from regular life. Alternate translation: “here are some things that people often do at night: they sleep, or they get drunk”
