SIL Translator’s Notes on Matthew 22:8

Paragraph 22:8–10

22:8a

Then: This Greek conjunction introduces the next event in a series of events.

Here are some other ways to translate this conjunction:

After that (New Living Translation (2004))
-or-
Next

he said to his servants: The Greek phrase that the English Standard Version translates as his servants is the same phrase as in 22:3a. Since some of the king’s servants were killed in 22:6b, it may be necessary to indicate that these servants are other servants. For example:

he said to his other servants

The wedding feast is ready: The Greek word that the English Standard Version translates as wedding feast is also in 22:2b. As mentioned there, this word is more literally “wedding.” For example:

The wedding is ready (God’s Word)

See the Note at 22:2b for more information on translating this word.

22:8b

but those invited: The Greek phrase that the English Standard Version translates as those invited is the same as at 22:3b. Translate it the same way here. For example:

the invited guests (Contemporary English Version)
-or-
the people I invited (Good News Translation)

were not worthy: The Greek word that the English Standard Version translates as worthy in this context refers to deserving some good thing. When people refused the king’s invitation, it showed that they did not deserve the honor that the king extended to them.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

were not worthy to come (New Century Version)
-or-
don’t deserve the honor (God’s Word)
-or-
are not fit to come

-or-

do not merit the invitation

SIL Translator’s Notes on Matthew 22:40

22:40

On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets: In some languages, it will be more natural to change the order of the clauses in this verse. For example:

All the Law of Moses and the Books of the Prophets are based on these two commandments. (Contemporary English Version)

depend: The Greek verb that the English Standard Version translates as depend is more literally “hang” (as in the New International Version). It is the same word used in Luke 23:39 which talks about one of the two thieves who hung (on a cross) on one side of Jesus.

Here this verb is used figuratively. It indicates that these two commands support the rest of Scripture. Everything else flows/comes from them. These two commandments sum up the meaning and purpose of all of Scripture. Here are some other ways to translate this word:

are based on (Contemporary English Version)
-or-
come from
-or-
stand on
-or-
are inside

-or-

are included in

all the Law: The Greek word that the English Standard Version translates as Law refers to the Law of Moses. It may also indicate the first five books of the Old Testament which contain the Law of Moses. Here is another way to translate this phrase:

All the Law of Moses (Contemporary English Version)

and the Prophets: The Greek phrase that the English Standard Version translates as the Prophets refers to the writings of the Prophets in the Old Testament. Here is another way to translate this phrase:

and the writings of the Prophets (New Century Version)

SIL Translator’s Notes on Matthew 1:18

Section 1:18–25

Jesus Christ was born

This section tells us how the Messiah came into the world. The Holy Spirit miraculously caused the virgin Mary to become pregnant with the child Jesus. Such an event had never happened before.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The Birth of Jesus Christ (New International Version)
-or-
The Birth of Jesus the Messiah (New Living Translation (2004))
-or-
Here is how Jesus was born

There is a parallel passage for this section in Luke 2:1–7.

Paragraph 1:18–19

1:18a

The Greek of 1:18a begins with a word that is often translated as “and” or “but.” It indicates that 1:18 is the beginning of a new section. Some English versions indicate this with a conjunction (English Standard Version: “Now”). The Berean Standard Bible, like other English versions, does not introduce this section with a conjunction. In your language, translate it in a way that is natural to indicate the start of a new story.

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: This clause introduces the story of Jesus’ birth.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened this way. (NET Bible)
-or-
the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: (New American Standard Bible)
-or-
This is how Jesus Christ was born. (Contemporary English Version)

Jesus Christ: Here, the name Christ is a title. Another word for this title is Messiah. For example:

Jesus the Messiah (New Living Translation (2004))

The phrase Jesus Christ also occurs in 1:1a. You should translate it here as you did there.

1:18b

His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph: The word pledged refers to an agreement to marry. This agreement was made by a young man and woman and their families. Mary had formally agreed to marry Joseph.

Some English versions translate this word as “engaged.” However, the marriage agreement among the Jews was more strict than the word “engaged” implies in western society. It legally joined a man and woman, and it was as binding as marriage. If either the man or the woman ended the agreement, people considered them to be divorced.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

was pledged to be married (New International Version)
-or-
was engaged to be married (New Century Version)
-or-
had been promised…in marriage (God’s Word)
-or-
had made an agreement to marry

After the marriage agreement was made, the man and woman usually waited for a year before their wedding. As part of the wedding ceremony, the man took the woman into his house to live.

1:18c

but before they came together: The Greek phrase that the Berean Standard Bible translates as before they came together refers to getting married.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

but before they were married (Good News Translation)
-or-
but before they lived together (New Revised Standard Version)

Matthew’s point is that Mary became pregnant while she was still a virgin. It was a miracle. In some cultures, sexual relations are common before marriage. So it may be necessary to make it more explicit that Mary had not had sexual relations when she became pregnant. For example:

But before the marriage took place, while she was still a virgin (New Living Translation (2004))
-or-
before they slept together

1:18d

she was found to be with child: The Greek clause that the Berean Standard Bible translates as she was found to be with child is an expression that means “she was/became pregnant” or “she learned/realized that she was pregnant.” For example:

she learned that she was going to have a baby (Contemporary English Version)
-or-
Mary realized that she was pregnant (God’s Word)
-or-
she became pregnant (New Living Translation (2004))

through the Holy Spirit: The phrase through the Holy Spirit indicates that the Holy Spirit caused Mary to become pregnant. It was a miracle. The Holy Spirit did not cause Mary to become pregnant in the same way a man causes a woman to become pregnant.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

through ⌊a miracle of⌋ the Holy Spirit
-or-
by ⌊means of⌋ ⌊the power of⌋ the Holy Spirit
-or-
the Holy Spirit caused it

the Holy Spirit: The Greek phrase that the Berean Standard Bible translates as the Holy Spirit refers to the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit is God, together with God the Father and God the Son. The Holy Spirit is Spirit in the sense that he is a living being who does not have a physical body. He is Holy in the sense that he is divine. He is perfect in every way and is completely pure and sinless. Because of these qualities, he is worthy of awe.

Here are some other ways to translate Holy Spirit:

Spirit/Breath of God
-or-
Sacred Spirit
-or-
Spirit from God
-or-
Spirit belonging to God

Do not imply that the Holy Spirit is like the ghost of a dead person or that God has died.

SIL Translator’s Notes on Matthew 3:2

3:2a

Repent: The Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible translates as Repent refers in a general way to changing one’s mind. In this context, it refers to changing one’s mind about sin and God. It means to stop sinning and begin to obey God.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

Turn from your sins and turn to God (New Living Translation (1996))
-or-
Turn back to God! (Contemporary English Version)
-or-
Change your hearts and lives (New Century Version)
-or-
Leave/Abandon the ways of sin and follow the ways of God

3:2b

for: The Greek conjunction that the Berean Standard Bible translates as for introduces the reason why people should repent. They should repent because the kingdom of heaven is near.

In some languages, it will be more natural to change the order of 3:2a and 3:2b. For example:

2bThe kingdom of heaven is near, 2a⌊so⌋ repent!

the kingdom of heaven: When you translate the phrase the kingdom of heaven, there are two issues to consider:

Issue 1: The meaning of heaven

In the phrase the kingdom of heaven, the word heaven is a figure of speech called metonymy. In this figure of speech, heaven refers to God, but it refers to him indirectly by naming the place where he lives and rules. The Jews considered God’s name to be so holy that they hesitated to say it. So instead of pronouncing God’s name directly, they often used the name of the place where he lives and rules. Because Matthew was writing primarily to Jews, he often used the word heaven to refer to God.

Therefore, the kingdom of heaven means the same thing as “the kingdom of God.” The phrase the kingdom of heaven only occurs in the book of Matthew. The expression “the kingdom of God” is found in all other books, and it even occurs five times in Matthew.

Some ways to translate heaven in this context are:

• Make some information explicit. For example:

⌊the one/Lord who lives in⌋ heaven

• Translate the meaning without using a figure of speech. For example:

God

Issue 2: The meaning of the kingdom of heaven

Both the kingdom of heaven and “the kingdom of God” refer to God’s activity of ruling over his people. God’s rule is not simply giving orders or commands to people. It also includes his protection, care, and blessing for them. God leads, protects, and cares for his people. They obey, trust, and submit to him as their king. The phrase the kingdom of heaven does not refer to a land or country that God rules over.

Here are some other ways to translate the kingdom of heaven:

• As a noun. For example:

the kingdom/rule of ⌊the one who lives in⌋ heaven
-or-
the kingdom of God
-or-
God’s kingship
-or-
God’s rule over people

• As a verbal expression. For example:

God rules his people
-or-
God cares for his people as king

See kingdom of heaven in the Glossary for more information.

is near: The Greek verb that the Berean Standard Bible translates as is near is more literally “has approached.” This clause probably means that God’s kingdom had already started. God was ready to rule and save his people through Jesus’ teaching and miracles. It was time to repent.

John was preaching that the kingdom of heaven is near in a time sense, not in a physical sense.

So the entire clause “the kingdom of heaven is near” means:

the kingdom of heaven is being established
-or-
now is the time for ⌊the one who lives in⌋ heaven to rule over you (plur.)
-or-
the time for God to rule over people has come

-or-

God’s kingship/chieftaincy has begun

SIL Translator’s Notes on Matthew 4:17

Paragraph 4:17

4:17a

From that time on: The Greek phrase that the Berean Standard Bible translates as From that time on refers to the time after Jesus returned to Galilee.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

From then on (God’s Word)
-or-
From that time (English Standard Version)
-or-
Starting from then
-or-
After returning ⌊to Galilee⌋

Jesus began to preach: The Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible translates as preach means to publicly “announce,” or “proclaim.” Jesus was announcing the message that God had given to him. The words of 4:17b–c were a part of what he preached.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

Jesus began to proclaim the message (Revised English Bible)
-or-
Jesus began to tell God’s message ⌊to other people⌋

This same word occurs in 3:1b.

4:17b–c

Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near: This same clause also occurs in 3:2a–b. You should translate it here as you did there. Some translation advice is in the notes below.

4:17b

Repent: The Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible translates as Repent refers in a general way to changing one’s mind. In the Bible, it refers specifically to a person changing his mind and heart about sin and about God. When a person repents, he is sorry for his past sins. He decides to stop sinning and obey God.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

Turn from your sins and turn to God (New Living Translation (1996))
-or-
Turn back to God (Contemporary English Version)
-or-
Change your hearts and lives (New Century Version)
-or-
Leave the ways of sin and follow the ways of God

See how you translated this word in 3:2.

4:17c

for: The conjunction for introduces the basis for Jesus’ command to repent. People should repent because the kingdom of heaven was near.

In some languages, it is more natural to put the basis before the command. For example:

17cThe kingdom of heaven is near, 17bso/therefore ⌊you must⌋ repent.

the kingdom of heaven: When you translate the phrase the kingdom of heaven, there are two issues to consider:

Issue 1: The meaning of heaven

Here are some other ways to translate heaven in this context:

• Make some information explicit. For example:

⌊the one/Lord who lives in⌋ heaven

• Translate the meaning without using a figure of speech. For example:

God

Issue 2: The meaning of the kingdom of heaven

Both the kingdom of heaven and “the kingdom of God” refer to God’s activity of ruling over his people. God’s rule is not simply giving orders or commands to people. It also includes his protection, care, and blessing for them. God leads, protects, and cares for his people. They obey, trust, and submit to him as their king. The phrase kingdom of heaven does not refer to a land or country that God rules over.

Here are some other ways to translate the kingdom of heaven:

• As a noun. For example:

the kingdom/rule of ⌊the one who lives in⌋ heaven
-or-
the kingdom of God
-or-
God’s kingship
-or-
God’s rule over people

• As a verbal expression. For example:

God rules his people
-or-
God cares for his people as king

See kingdom of heaven in the Glossary for more information.

is near: The Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible translates as is near literally means “has approached.” In this passage it indicates that something will “soon happen.”

So the entire clause “the kingdom of heaven is near” means:

the time for God to rule over people is about to happen
-or-
God’s kingship will soon happen/occur
-or-
the kingdom of heaven will soon be here (Contemporary English Version)

-or-

the time is near when God will rule over you (plur.)

SIL Translator’s Notes on Matthew 5:24

5:24a–b

leave your gift there before the altar. First go: This clause indicates that you should wait to make your offering. Instead of presenting the offering at that time, you should put it down on the ground in front of the altar for a later time.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

leave your offering there before the altar (New Jerusalem Bible)
-or-
set down your gift on the ground by the altar
-or-
put your offering down in front of the altar

First go: Some English versions put the verb go at the end of 5:24a and before the word First in 5:24b. For example:

24aleave your gift there before the altar and go. 24bFirst be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. (English Standard Version)

However, the Berean Standard Bible and most English versions put the verb go in 5:24b after the word First. You should do whatever is most natural in your language.

5:24b

First: The word First indicates that before giving your gift, you should be reconciled.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

Before ⌊giving the gift⌋
-or-
at once (Good News Translation)

As mentioned in 5:24a, many English versions put the verb “go” here after the word First.

be reconciled: The word reconciled means “make peace between people or groups.” You must go to the person you have offended, settle the problem, and restore the relationship.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

make peace (Good News Translation)
-or-
find your fellowman and resolve your differences
-or-
make things right with each other
-or-
restore your friendship

5:24c

then come and offer your gift: After you have made peace with your fellowman, then you are permitted to come back to the temple and offer your sacrifice to God.

SIL Translator’s Notes on Matthew 6:8

6:8a

In Greek, 6:8 begins with the conjunction that is often translated in English as “therefore/so.” For example:

So do not be like them (New American Standard Bible)

This conjunction indicates that 6:8 is the conclusion to something that came before it. The part that comes before the conclusion has some implied information.

Here is one way to show the conclusion and what is implied:

7bthey think they will be heard because of their many words, ⌊but they are wrong⌋. 8aTherefore/So, do not be like them.

The Berean Standard Bible and most English versions do not translate this conjunction.

Do not be like them: The clause Do not be like them means “Do not pray like they pray.” Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

Do not pray the way that they pray
-or-
Do not do what they do
-or-
Do not imitate them

them: The pronoun them refers to the “pagans” of 6:7a. You may need to repeat the expression you used for “pagans” instead of the pronoun them. For example:

Do not be like those pagans/Gentiles
-or-
Do not pray like those non-Jews

6:8b

for: The Greek conjunction that the Berean Standard Bible translates as for introduces the basis for the command in 6:8a. In some languages, it is not necessary to have a conjunction here. For example:

Your Father knows what you need before you ask. (Contemporary English Version)

In other languages, it is more natural to put the basis of the command before the command. For example:

8bYour Father knows what you need before you ask him. 8aTherefore, do not be like the pagans ⌊who pray using many words⌋.

your Father: The phrase your Father refers to God. Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

your Father ⌊God⌋
-or-
your ⌊heavenly⌋ Father
-or-
our(incl.) Father ⌊God⌋

This phrase also occurs 6:1c and 6:4b. See how you translated it there.

knows what you need: Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

knows the things that are important to you
-or-
knows the things that are necessary for you

before you ask Him: Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

before you ask him ⌊for those things⌋

-or-

before you ask him ⌊to give you those things⌋

SIL Translator’s Notes on Matthew 7:6

Paragraph 7:6

7:6a–d

Do not give dogs what is holy…and then turn and tear you to pieces: Before you translate 7:6a–d, there are two main issues to consider:

Issue 1: Interpretation issue

There are three ways to interpret the way that the clause and then turn and tear you to pieces (7:6d) is connected to the rest of the verse:

(1) It is connected to 7:6a and refers to what dogs will do. The dogs will turn and tear you to pieces. According to this interpretation, the four clauses in 7:6 are arranged in a special order called a “chiasmus.” In this chiasmus, the first clause (7:6a) goes together with the last clause (7:6d), and the two middle clauses go together. For example:

6aDon’t give holy things to dogs, 6band don’t throw your pearls before pigs. 6cPigs will only trample on them, 6dand dogs will turn to attack you. (New Century Version)

(Good News Translation, Contemporary English Version, New Century Version, and many commentaries)

(2) It is connected to 7:6b and refers to another thing that pigs will do. According to this interpretation, this verse is not a chiasmus. Swine/pigs will both trample the pearls (7:6c) and turn to attack you (7:6d). There is no description of what dogs will do. For example:

6aDo not give dogs what is holy; 6band do not throw your pearls before swine, 6clest they trample them under foot 6dand turn to attack you. (Revised Standard Version)

(Revised Standard Version, New Jerusalem Bible)

(3) It, together with 7:6c, is connected to 7:6a–7:6b and refers to another thing that both dogs and swine/pigs will do. Dogs and swine will both trample pearls underfoot (7:6c) and turn and attack you (7:6d). For example:

Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces. (New International Version)

(Berean Standard Bible, New International Version, NET Bible, God’s Word, New Living Translation (2004), Revised English Bible)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1). Most commentaries follow this interpretation. Another way to translate this verse is:

6aDon’t give to dogs what belongs to God. 6dThey will only turn and attack you. 6bDon’t throw pearls down in front of pigs. 6cThey will trample all over them. (Contemporary English Version)

Issue 2: Metaphor

Verse 7:6 is a proverb-like saying using metaphors of dogs, pigs, and pearls. The “dogs” and “swine” refer to people. They probably refer to people who have rejected the gospel of Jesus. The phrase “what is holy” and the word “pearls” refer to the truths of the gospel of the kingdom.

One way to translate this verse is to put an explanation before the metaphors. For example:

Do not give ⌊what is holy to people who do not value the good news and even attack it. That would be like giving⌋ something holy to dogs or like throwing pearls to swine/pigs. If you do, the pigs will trample those things and the dogs will turn and attack you.

Some other ways to translate the metaphors are listed below.

7:6a

Do not give dogs what is holy: The word dogs is a metaphor. In this metaphor, certain people are compared to wild dogs. Like wild dogs attack other animals, certain people continually reject the message of the good news of the kingdom. They even attack those people who preach the good news.

Here the word dogs refers to wild or stray dogs. They are not dogs that people keep around their houses.

Here Jesus taught his disciples not to continue to teach the message of the good news to people who continue to reject and attack both the message and those who preach it.

Here are some other ways to translate this metaphor:

• Keep the metaphor. For example:

Do not give what is holy to dogs (Good News Translation)
-or-
Don’t give holy things to dogs (New Century Version)

• Change the metaphor to a simile and make explicit the way that they are similar. For example:

Do not give what is holy to ⌊people who act like⌋ wild dogs.
-or-
Do not give what is holy to ⌊people who reject it like⌋ wild dogs.

• Translate the meaning without using a figure of speech. For example:

Do not ⌊continue to⌋ give/teach the holy message of the good news to people who reject it.
-or-
Don’t give what is holy to unholy people. (New Living Translation (1996))

If you follow this option, you may want to include a footnote that gives the literal words. Here is a sample footnote:

Literally: “Do not give what is holy to dogs.”

what is holy: The word holy means “dedicated to God.” The phrase what is holy represents the good news of the kingdom of God.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

what belongs to God (Contemporary English Version)
-or-
holy things (New Century Version)
-or-
what is sacred (New International Version)

7:6b

In Greek, 7:6b begins with a conjunction that indicates that another negative clause is coming. This conjunction can be translated as “nor,” “and” and “or.” For example:

Do not give what is holy to dogs nor throw…
-or-
Do not give what is holy to dogs or throw… (NET Bible)
-or-
Do not give what is holy to dogs; and do not throw… (New Revised Standard Version)

The Berean Standard Bible does not translate this conjunction, but connects 7:6a and b with a semi-colon (;).

do not throw your pearls before swine:

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

• Keep the metaphor. For example:

Don’t throw pearls down in front of pigs. (Contemporary English Version)

• Change the metaphors to similes and make explicit the way that they are similar. For example:

Do not give ⌊the valuable truths from God to people who do not value them. This is like⌋ throwing pearls to swine/pigs.

• Translate without the metaphor. For example:

Do not give the valuable truths from God to people who do not value them.

You may then want a footnote that gives the literal words:

Literally: “Do not throw your pearls to swinge/pigs.”

do not throw: The verb phrase do not throw implies carelessly throwing away something. The truths of the gospel are valuable like pearls. Jesus tells his followers not to carelessly share these truths with people who will not value them.

Here are some other ways to translate this verb:

Don’t give (New Living Translation (1996))
-or-
Do not scatter/toss
-or-
Do not share

your pearls: The word pearls refers to round, stone-like beads about 5–10 millimeters (quarter to half an inch) across. Pearls are found in a kind of shellfish called an “oyster.” Pearls are often very beautiful, and good ones are very valuable. People wear them in necklaces and as other jewelry.

In this context, the word pearls is a metaphor. Pearls represent the good news of the kingdom of God. They are similar in that both are valuable. The word pearls corresponds to the phrase “what is holy” in 7:6a.

Here are some other ways to translate the word pearls:

• Keep the metaphor. For example:

valuable jewels called pearls
-or-
expensive beads
-or-
precious/costly stones

• Change the metaphor to a simile and make explicit the way that they are similar. For example:

the good news of the kingdom which is valuable like pearls

• Translate the meaning without using a figure of speech. For example:

the good news of the kingdom

before swine: The word swine means “pigs.” It is a metaphor. In this metaphor, certain people are compared to pigs, also called swine. Like swine do not value pearls and so trample them, certain people do not value the message of the good news of the kingdom.

7:6c

If you do: The Greek conjunction that the Berean Standard Bible translates as If you do links two actions. The first action was “throwing pearls before swine” in 7:6b. The second action is “they…trample them under their feet” in 7:6c. The first action prevents the second action from happening. Jesus was saying that a person should not throw pearls in front of swine/pigs (7:6b) to prevent the pearls from being trampled underfoot (7:6c).

Here are some other ways to translate this conjunction:

lest (English Standard Version)
-or-
otherwise (NET Bible)
-or-
so that they do not

they: If you followed the recommended interpretation (1) in the note on 7:6a–d, the pronoun they refers to the pigs. In some languages, it will be good to make this explicit. For example:

Pigs will only trample on them (New Century Version)

trample them under their feet: The Greek clause that the Berean Standard Bible translates as trample them under their feet refers to purposely walking on something to crush it into the ground with your feet.

This clause continues the metaphor of 7:6b. Here are some other ways to translate this:

• Keep the metaphor. For example:

trample them under their feet (New International Version)
-or-
stomp them into the ground
-or-
walk/step on them

• Translate the meaning without using a figure of speech. For example:

They will not value those things.

7:6d

As mentioned above, this clause refers to what the dogs (in 7:6a) will do. In some languages, it will be good to make this explicit. For example:

and dogs will turn to attack you (New Century Version)

and then turn and tear you to pieces: The Greek verb that the Berean Standard Bible translates as turn and tear you to pieces refers to cutting flesh with the teeth.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

• Keep the metaphor. For example:

turn and tear you to pieces (New International Version)
-or-
and turn and bite you

• Translate the meaning without using a figure of speech. For example:

and ⌊the people who act like dogs will⌋ turn and mock/disrespect you
