OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 1:22

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

εἶπαν & αὐτῷ

˱they˲_said & ˱to˲_him

The pronouns they and him refer to the priests and Levites and John the Baptist, respectively. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [the priests and Levites said to John the Baptist]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

τίς εἶ? ἵνα ἀπόκρισιν δῶμεν τοῖς πέμψασιν ἡμᾶς; τί

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπαν Οὖν αὐτῷ Τίς εἶ Ἵνα ἀπόκρισιν δῶμεν τοῖς πέμψασιν ἡμάς Τί λέγεις περί σεαυτοῦ)

John is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages in order to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. This may require you to change the punctuation of the sentences. Alternate translation: [Who are you? Tell us so that we might given an answer to those who sent us. What]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

δῶμεν & ἡμᾶς

˱we˲_˓may˒_give & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπαν Οὖν αὐτῷ Τίς εἶ Ἵνα ἀπόκρισιν δῶμεν τοῖς πέμψασιν ἡμάς Τί λέγεις περί σεαυτοῦ)

Here, we and us refer to the priests and Levites, not to John. Your language may require you to mark this form.

ἵνα ἀπόκρισιν δῶμεν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπαν Οὖν αὐτῷ Τίς εἶ Ἵνα ἀπόκρισιν δῶμεν τοῖς πέμψασιν ἡμάς Τί λέγεις περί σεαυτοῦ)

Alternate translation: [so that we might tell your answer]

This phrase refers to the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [to those leaders in Jerusalem who sent us]
