OET interlinear LUKE 12:17

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

διελογίζετο ἐν ἑαυτῷ λέγων, τί ποιήσω, ὅτι οὐκ ἔχω ποῦ συνάξω τοὺς καρπούς μου

˱he˲_/was/_reasoning by himself saying what ˱I˲_/may/_do because not ˱I˲_/am/_having where ˱I˲_/will_be/_gathering_together the fruits ˱of˲_me

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “he asked himself what he should do, since he did not have anywhere to store his crops”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

ποῦ

where

This is a generalization for emphasis. As the man says in the next verse, he already does have some barns. He means that those barns do not have the capacity to store this new large harvest. Alternate translation: “anywhere large enough” or “enough room in my barns”
