3 μετρέω

μετρέω fut. 2 sg. μετρήσεις Num 35:5; 1 aor. ἐμέτρησα. Pass.: 1 fut. μετρηθήσομαι; pf. 3 sg. μεμέτρηται Wsd 4:8 (fr. μέτρον; Hom.+) gener. ‘measure’.

① to take the dimensions of, measure

ⓐ spatially w. acc. of thing: τὸν ναόν measure the temple Rv 11:1 (PKetter, Past. Bonus 52, ’41, 93–99). τὴν πόλιν measure the city 21:15. αὐλήν 11:2. τὸν οὐρανόν 16:2 (Is 40:12; ApcEsdr 7:5 p. 32, 16 Tdf.). W. the measuring instrument given in the dat. (Ex 16:18) τῷ καλάμῳ measure with the rod Rv 21:16; cp. 11:1. The measure arrived at is expressed by the gen. of quality ἐμέτρησεν τὸ τεῖχος ἑκατὸν τεσσεράκοντα τεσσάρων πηχῶν he measured the wall (and it was) 144 cubits Rv 21:17; also by ἐπί and the gen. vs. 16, where a v.l. has ἐπί and acc. (on the latter cp. Da 3:47).

ⓑ non-spatially αὐτοὶ ἐν ἑαυτοῖς ἑαυτοὺς μετροῦντες they measure (i.e. evaluate) themselves by one another 2 Cor 10:12. ἐμαυτὸν μετρῶ I keep myself within bounds ITr 4:1 (Sotades Mar. [III B.C.] 10, 8 Diehl=Coll. Alex. no. 9, 8 p. 242 ἡ σωφροσύνη πάρεστιν, ἂν μετρῇς σεαυτόν; TestJos 10:6 ἐμέτρουν ἐμαυτόν).

② to give out in measured amount, give out, deal out, apportion τινί τι someth. to someone (Eur.; Ps.-Demosth. 46, 20; PPetr III, 89, 2; PTebt 459, 4 [5 B.C.] ὸ̔ ἐὰν περισσὸν γένηται μέτρησον αὐτοῖς) in the proverbial expr. ἐν ᾧ μέτρῳ μετρεῖτε, μετρηθήσεται ὑμῖν the measure you give will be the measure you get Mt 7:2; Mk 4:24. Likew., except without ἐν, Lk 6:38 v.l. (Maximus Tyr. 27, 7b has a play on words μετρεῖ…μετρεῖται.—Philo, Rer. Div. Her. 229 μέτροις μεμέτρηται.—The pass.=‘receive as one’s portion’: Jos., Bell. 3, 185).—1 Cl 13:2 the saying reads ᾧ μέτρῳ μετρεῖτε, ἐν αὐτῷ μετρηθήσεται ὑμῖν. The text of Lk 6:38 has ᾧ μέτρῳ μετρεῖτε, ἀντιμετρηθήσεται ὑμῖν, which is repeated verbatim in Pol 2:3.—B. 877f. DELG s.v. μέτρον. M-M. TW.

Note:

Il verbo parlare è reso in inglese principalmente da due verbi, to talk e to speak. To talk è d'uso frequente e informale, e significa parlare in modo amichevole e comunque non ostile o distaccato; to speak è d'uso più raro e formale, e si usa per indicare il parlare con un certo distacco, in modo spesso poco amichevole o comunque tra estranei, e in alcuni casi particolari (parlare al telefono, parlare in dibattiti o conferenze, parlare le lingue, essere in grado fisicamente di parlare ecc). Rinviando agli esempi d'uso più sotto nella voce, si noti che nell'inglese britannico to speak with e to talk with designano un modo di parlare più articolato e prolungato di to speak to e to talk to (il riferimento alla persona a cui si parla deve comunque essere introdotto da with o to)
II [par'lare]
sostantivo maschile

1) (modo di esprimersi) way of speaking, speech
