OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 11:40

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

λέγει

˓is˒_saying

Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

οὐκ εἶπόν σοι, ὅτι ἐὰν πιστεύσῃς, ὄψῃ τὴν δόξαν τοῦ Θεοῦ?

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγει αὐτῇ Ὁ Ἰησοῦς Οὐκ εἶπον σοί ὅτι ἐάν πιστεύσῃς ὄψῃ τήν δόξαν τοῦ Θεοῦ)

Jesus is using the form of a question to emphasize that God is about to do something wonderful. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [I certainly said to you that, if you believe, you would see the glory of God!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἐὰν πιστεύσῃς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγει αὐτῇ Ὁ Ἰησοῦς Οὐκ εἶπον σοί ὅτι ἐάν πιστεύσῃς ὄψῃ τήν δόξαν τοῦ Θεοῦ)

Jesus is leaving out some words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply this word from the context. Alternate translation: [if you believe in me] or [if you believe that I am the Messiah]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὴν δόξαν τοῦ Θεοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγει αὐτῇ Ὁ Ἰησοῦς Οὐκ εἶπον σοί ὅτι ἐάν πιστεύσῃς ὄψῃ τήν δόξαν τοῦ Θεοῦ)

This could mean: (1) God receives the glory. Alternate translation: [the glorification of God] (2) glory that comes from God. Alternate translation: [the glory from God]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν δόξαν τοῦ Θεοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγει αὐτῇ Ὁ Ἰησοῦς Οὐκ εἶπον σοί ὅτι ἐάν πιστεύσῃς ὄψῃ τήν δόξαν τοῦ Θεοῦ)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of glory, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [God glorified] or [how glorious God is]
