OET interlinear MAT 13:47

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

πάλιν

again

Here, the word Again introduces another parable or short story. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces another story, or you could leave Again untranslated. See how you translated this word in 13:45. Alternate translation: “Also” or “Even further”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parables

ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ Βασιλεία τῶν Οὐρανῶν σαγήνῃ

similar is the Kingdom ˱of˲_the Heavens ˱to˲_/a/_dragnet

To teach the disciples, Jesus offers another story or illustration. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “listen to this story: the kingdom of the heavens is like a net”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

σαγήνῃ

˱to˲_/a/_dragnet

Some cultures use a net to catch fish. A net is a mesh or network of cords or ropes which fishermen throw into the water to trap many fish at once. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to how people catch many fish at once in your culture, or you could use a general phrase. See how you translated the similar word in 4:18. Alternate translation: “a fish trap” or “a fishing tool”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

βληθείσῃ

/having_been/_cast

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, you could use an indefinite subject or refer to people who fish. Alternate translation: “that fishermen cast”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐκ παντὸς γένους συναγαγούσῃ

of every kind /having/_gathered_together

Here Jesus means that every kind of fish was trapped in the net. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “having collected every kind of fish” or “having caught some fish of every kind”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

παντὸς γένους

every kind

Jesus says every kind here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “very many kinds”
