SIBI-P1 Translation G3911-01
be carried astray
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing aspect), passive voice, imperative mood, 2nd person plural — a command addressed to multiple hearers to be in a state of being borne aside. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present passive imperative, 2nd person plural, calls the hearers to a continued state regarding being borne aside. "Be carried astray" preserves the passive voice and the directional nuance of being borne off the main path inherent in παρα- plus φέρω. |
