OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 19:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐκ εἶχες ἐξουσίαν κατ’ ἐμοῦ οὐδεμίαν, εἰ μὴ ἦν δεδομένον σοι ἄνωθεν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ Ἰησοῦς Οὐκ εἶχες ἐξουσίαν κατʼ ἐμοῦ οὐδεμίαν εἰ μή ἦν δεδομένον σοί ἄνωθεν Διά τοῦτο ὁ παραδούς μέ σοί μείζονα ἁμαρτίαν ἔχει)

If this double negative would be misunderstood in your language, you could translate it as a positive statement. Alternate translation: [You only have authority over me because that authority has been given to you from above]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

εἰ μὴ ἦν δεδομένον σοι ἄνωθεν

except (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ Ἰησοῦς Οὐκ εἶχες ἐξουσίαν κατʼ ἐμοῦ οὐδεμίαν εἰ μή ἦν δεδομένον σοί ἄνωθεν Διά τοῦτο ὁ παραδούς μέ σοί μείζονα ἁμαρτίαν ἔχει)

Here, above is used to refer to God who dwells in heaven above. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: [from heaven]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

εἰ μὴ ἦν δεδομένον σοι ἄνωθεν

except (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ Ἰησοῦς Οὐκ εἶχες ἐξουσίαν κατʼ ἐμοῦ οὐδεμίαν εἰ μή ἦν δεδομένον σοί ἄνωθεν Διά τοῦτο ὁ παραδούς μέ σοί μείζονα ἁμαρτίαν ἔχει)

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [except for what God has given to you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

μείζονα ἁμαρτίαν ἔχει

greater sin ˓is˒_having

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: [has a greater sin than your sin]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μείζονα ἁμαρτίαν ἔχει

greater sin ˓is˒_having

Jesus speaks of sin as if it were an object that a person could possess in varying amounts. If this use of sin might be misunderstood in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [are more sinful] or [has committed worse sin]
