2.6 KiB
Connecting Statement:
Jesus continues to instruct his disciples about the persecution they will endure when they go out to preach.
Brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child
The phrase "a father his child" can be translated as a complete sentence. AT: "Brothers will deliver up their brothers to death, and fathers will deliver up their children to death" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis)
deliver up
"Deliver" here is a metaphor, meaning "to take" or "force to go." See how you translated this in Matthew 10:17. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor).
to death
The abstract noun "death" can be translated in a concrete, more detailed way. AT: "to the courts so that the authorities can execute them" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns)
rise up against
"rebel against" or "turn against"
cause them to be put to death
This can be translated in active form. AT: "have them put to death" or "have the authorities execute them" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
You will be hated by everyone
This can be translated in active form. AT: "Everyone will hate you" or "All people will hate you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
You
This is plural and refers to the twelve disciples. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you)
because of my name
Here "name" refers to the entire person. AT: "because of me" or "because you trust in me" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
whoever endures
"whoever stays faithful"
to the end
It is not clear whether the "end" means when a person dies, when the persecution ends, or the end of the age when God shows himself to be king. The main point is that they endure as long as necessary.
that person will be saved
This can be stated in active form. AT: "God will deliver that person" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
in this city
Here "this" does not refer to a specific city. AT: "in one city"
flee to the next
"flee to the next city"
truly I say to you
"I tell you the truth." This phrase adds emphasis to what Jesus says next.
Son of Man
Jesus is speaking about himself. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person)
has come
"arrives"
