καθὼς ἔδωκας αὐτῷ ἐξουσίαν πάσης σαρκός
as ˱you˲_gave ˱to˲_him authority ˱of˲_all flesh
Here, since indicates that this clause is the reason for the request given in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “because you gave him authority over all flesh”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
αὐτῷ & αὐτῷ & δώσῃ
˱to˲_him & ˱to˲_him & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καθὼς ἔδωκας αὐτῷ ἐξουσίαν πάσης σαρκός ἵνα πᾶν ὃ δέδωκας αὐτῷ δῷς αὐτῷ ζωὴν αἰώνιον)
Throughout this verse Jesus is referring to himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person, as in the UST.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
πάσης σαρκός
˱of˲_all flesh
Jesus is describing people by referring to something associated with them, the flesh that they are made of. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “over all human beings”
17:2 All authority has been placed in Jesus’ hands (3:35); he can give eternal life as only God can (3:15; 5:21, 25-26).
OET (OET-LV) As you_gave authority of_all flesh to_him, in_order_that everything which you_have_given to_him, you_may_give eternal life to_him.
OET (OET-RV) You already gave me authority over all people so that I could grant eternal life to everyone that you’ve given me.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
