OET interlinear LUKE 10:31

uW Translation Notes:

κατὰ συνκυρίαν

by (Some words not found in SR-GNT: κατὰ συγκυρίαν δὲ ἱερεύς τις κατέβαινεν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ἐκείνῃ καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὸν ἀντιπαρῆλθεν)

This expression means that this event was not anything that anyone had planned. Alternate translation: “it just so happened that”

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

ἱερεύς τις

/a/_priest certain

This expression introduces a new character in the parable. Alternate translation: “there was a priest who”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἱερεύς τις

/a/_priest certain

Jesus assumes that his listeners will know that a priest is a religious leader. This detail is important to the story. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “there was a priest, a religious leader, who”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὸν

and /having/_seen him

Since a priest is a religious leader, the audience would assume that he would help the injured man. Since he did not, this phrase could be introduced with a contrasting word to call attention to this unexpected result. Alternate translation: “but when the priest saw the injured man”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀντιπαρῆλθεν

passed_by_opposite

The implication is that the priest did not help the man. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “he did not help him, but instead walked past him on the other side of the road”
