OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 12:19

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

θεωρεῖτε ὅτι οὐκ ὠφελεῖτε οὐδέν

˱you_all˲_/are/_observing that not ˱you_all˲_/are/_benefiting nothing

The Pharisees imply here that it might be impossible to stop Jesus. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “It seems like we can do nothing to stop him”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

ἴδε, ὁ κόσμος ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ἀπῆλθεν

behold the world after him went_away

The Pharisees use the world as an exaggeration to express their shock that so many people have come out to follow Jesus. If this would confuse your readers, you could use an equivalent expression from your language that shows shock. Alternate translation: “Behold, it seems like everyone has gone after him”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὁ κόσμος

the world

Here, world refers to the people who lived in it. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “every person in the world”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ἀπῆλθεν

after him went_away

Here, gone after means to follow Jesus and become his disciple. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “has become his disciple”
