OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 4:12

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

μὴ σὺ μείζων εἶ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν Ἰακώβ, ὃς ἔδωκεν ἡμῖν τὸ φρέαρ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἔπιεν, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ θρέμματα αὐτοῦ?

not you greater_‹than› are the father ˱of˲_us Jacob who gave ˱to˲_us the well and himself of it drank and the sons ˱of˲_him and the livestock ˱of˲_him

The woman is using the question form for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate her words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “You are certainly not greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, and his sons and his cattle!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἔπιεν

of it drank

Here, John records the woman leaving out a word that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply this word from the context. Alternate translation: “drank water from it”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ θρέμματα αὐτοῦ

and and the sons ˱of˲_him and the livestock ˱of˲_him

Here, John records the woman leaving out some words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the previous clause. Alternate translation: “and his sons drank water from it and his cattle drank water from it”
