# how can it be made salty again?
|

Jesus uses a question to teach the crowd. AT: "it cannot be made salty again." or "no one can make it salty again." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# manure pile
|
|
|
|
People use manure to fertilize gardens and fields. Salt without taste is so useless it is not even worth mixing with manure. AT: "compost heap" or "fertilizer"
|
|
|
|
# It is thrown away
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. AT: "Someone just throws it away" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# He who has ears to hear, let him hear
|
|
|
|
It may be more natural in some languages to use the second person: "You who have ears to hear, hear" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person]])
|
|
|
|
# He who has ears to hear
|
|
|
|
Possible meanings are 1) "Everyone" since everyone has ears or 2) "Whoever has the ability to understand" which refers to those who are willing to listen to God. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])

# let him hear
