τῇ ἐπαύριον
˱on˲_the_‹day› of_next
The next day here indicates that the events the story will now relate came after the event it has just described in 1:19–28. If it would be helpful in your language, you could show this relationship by using a fuller phrase. Alternate translation: “The day after John spoke with the priests and Levites from Jerusalem”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
βλέπει & λέγει
˱he˲_/is/_seeing & /is/_saying
Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἴδε
behold
John the Baptist uses the term Behold to call his audience’s attention to what he is about to say. Your language may have a similar expression that you can use here.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἴδε, ὁ Ἀμνὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ
behold the Lamb ¬the ˱of˲_God
The phrase Lamb of God refers to Jesus. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “Behold, Jesus, the Lamb of God”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
Ἀμνὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ
Lamb ¬the ˱of˲_God
John the Baptist uses a metaphor here to refer to Jesus as God’s perfect sacrifice. (See: lamb) Since Lamb of God is an important title for Jesus, you should translate the words directly and not provide a plain explanation in the text of your translation.
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὁ αἴρων
the ¬which taking_away
Here John the Baptist speaks of forgiving sin as if sin were an object that Jesus is taking away. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation, as in the UST: “who is forgiving”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τοῦ κόσμου
¬the ˱of˲_the world
John the Baptist uses world to refer to all the people in the world. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “of those who live in the world”
1:29 The phrase Lamb of God might refer to the Passover sacrifice of a lamb or to the daily sacrifice in the Temple (Exod 29:38-46; Heb 10). See also Rev 5.
