OET (OET-RV) “Well, what’s written in the scriptures?” responded Yeshua. “How do you understand them?”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
ἐν τῷ νόμῳ τί γέγραπται? πῶς ἀναγινώσκεις?
in the law what ˱it˲_/has_been/_written how ˱you˲_/are/_reading_‹it›
Jesus is using these questions to get this man to reflect on the Jewish law and apply it to his own question. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this as a statement that incorporates both of Jesus’ questions. Alternate translation: “Tell me what Moses wrote about that in the law and how you understand it.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
ἐν τῷ νόμῳ τί γέγραπται? πῶς ἀναγινώσκεις?
in the law what ˱it˲_/has_been/_written how ˱you˲_/are/_reading_‹it›
These two phrases mean similar things. Jesus may be using repetition for emphasis and clarity. Both phrases have to do with what the law says. The first phrase views this objectively in terms of what is written there, and the second phrase views this subjectively from the perspective of a person reading it. You do not need to put both phrases in your translation if your readers might wonder why Jesus was saying basically the same thing twice. Alternate translation: “Tell me what answer a person would find to your question in the law of Moses.”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐν τῷ νόμῳ τί γέγραπται?
in the law what ˱it˲_/has_been/_written
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who did the action. Alternate translation: “What did Moses write in the law?”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
πῶς ἀναγινώσκεις?
how ˱you˲_/are/_reading_‹it›
This is an idiom. Alternate translation: “What do you understand it to be saying?”
OET (OET-RV) “Well, what’s written in the scriptures?” responded Yeshua. “How do you understand them?”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
