Jesus turns from speaking to the 70 disciples and speaks to the people of three cities.
|
|
|
|
## Woe to you Chorazin! Woe to you Bethsaida ##
|
|
|
|
Jesus spoke as if the people of the cities of Chorazin and Bethsaida were there listening to him, but they were not. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-apostrophe]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])

|
|
## if the mighty works which were done in you ##
|
|
|
|
This can be translated with an active verb as it is in the UDB: "If the miracles that I had performed for you." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
|
|
|
|
## were done in Tyre and Sidon ##
|
|
|
|
This can be translated with an active verb: "if someone had done them in Tyre and Sidon."
|
|
|
|
## they would have repented long ago ##
|
|
|
|
"the wicked people who lived there would have shown that they were sorry for their sins" (UDB)
|
|

|
## sitting in sackcloth and ashes ##

|

|
|
## it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon … than for you ##
|
|
|
|
"God will punish you more severely than the people of Tyre and Sidon." The reason for this can be made explicit as in the UDB: "because you did not repent and believe in me even though you saw me do miracles!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
|
|
|
|
## in the judgment ##

## And you, Capernaum ##
|

Jesus now speaks to the people in the city of Capernaum as if they were listening to him, but they were not.
|
|
|
|
## do you think you will be exalted to heaven ##
|
|
|
|
This is a rhetorical question in which Jesus rebukes the people of Capernaum for their pride. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]]) It can be translated with an active verb "will you go up to heaven" or "do you think that God will honor you?" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

|
|
## will be exalted ##
|
|
|
|
To be exalted is an idiom meaning "will be honored." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]]) |
