OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 4:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-contrary

εἰ ᾔδεις τὴν δωρεὰν τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ τίς ἐστιν ὁ λέγων σοι & σὺ ἂν ᾔτησας αὐτὸν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καί εἶπεν αὐτῇ Εἰ ᾔδεις τήν δωρεάν τοῦ Θεοῦ καί τίς ἐστίν ὁ λέγων σοί Δός μοί πεῖν σύ ἄν ᾔτησας αὐτόν καί ἔδωκεν ἄν σοί ὕδωρ ζῶν)

Jesus is making a conditional statement that sounds hypothetical, but he knows that the condition is not true. He knows that the woman does not know the gift of God or who he is. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a condition that the speaker believes is not true. Alternate translation: [You surely do not know the gift of God and who it is who is saying to you … Otherwise, you would have asked him]

τὴν δωρεὰν τοῦ Θεοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καί εἶπεν αὐτῇ Εἰ ᾔδεις τήν δωρεάν τοῦ Θεοῦ καί τίς ἐστίν ὁ λέγων σοί Δός μοί πεῖν σύ ἄν ᾔτησας αὐτόν καί ἔδωκεν ἄν σοί ὕδωρ ζῶν)

Here, the gift of God refers to the “living water” that Jesus mentions at the end of the verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [God’s gift of living water]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὴν δωρεὰν τοῦ Θεοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καί εἶπεν αὐτῇ Εἰ ᾔδεις τήν δωρεάν τοῦ Θεοῦ καί τίς ἐστίν ὁ λέγων σοί Δός μοί πεῖν σύ ἄν ᾔτησας αὐτόν καί ἔδωκεν ἄν σοί ὕδωρ ζῶν)

Jesus uses of to describe a gift that comes from God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [the gift from God]

τίς ἐστιν ὁ λέγων σοι & ᾔτησας αὐτὸν, καὶ ἔδωκεν

who (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καί εἶπεν αὐτῇ Εἰ ᾔδεις τήν δωρεάν τοῦ Θεοῦ καί τίς ἐστίν ὁ λέγων σοί Δός μοί πεῖν σύ ἄν ᾔτησας αὐτόν καί ἔδωκεν ἄν σοί ὕδωρ ζῶν)

Jesus is referring to himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [who I am who is saying to you … would have asked me, and I would have given]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

ὁ λέγων σοι, δός μοι πεῖν,

¬which saying (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καί εἶπεν αὐτῇ Εἰ ᾔδεις τήν δωρεάν τοῦ Θεοῦ καί τίς ἐστίν ὁ λέγων σοί Δός μοί πεῖν σύ ἄν ᾔτησας αὐτόν καί ἔδωκεν ἄν σοί ὕδωρ ζῶν)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [who is asking you to give him a drink]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

ὕδωρ ζῶν

water living

The phrase living water usually refers to moving or flowing water. However, Jesus uses living water here to refer to the Holy Spirit who works in a person to save and transform them. However, the woman does not understand this and Jesus does not explain the metaphor to her in this verse. Therefore, you do not need to explain its meaning further here.
