OET interlinear LUKE 14:23

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

εἶπεν ὁ κύριος πρὸς τὸν δοῦλον, ἔξελθε εἰς τὰς ὁδοὺς καὶ φραγμοὺς, καὶ ἀνάγκασον εἰσελθεῖν, ἵνα γεμισθῇ μου ὁ οἶκος

said the master to the slave come_out into the roads and fences and compel_‹them› /to/_come_in in_order_that /may_be/_filled ˱of˲_me the house

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “the master told the servant to go out into the roads and hedges and compel people to come in so that his house would be filled”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

φραγμοὺς

fences

The word hedges describes boundary fences that enclose and protect fields and buildings. They may be made of bushes and shrubs growing closely together, or they may be made of wood or stone or similar building materials. This could mean: (1) actual hedges. In that case, you could use the equivalent term in your language or a general expression. Alternate translation: “boundary fences” (2) since the term is paired with roads, it may mean the footpaths that run along hedges at the borders of fields. Alternate translation: “paths”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἵνα γεμισθῇ μου ὁ οἶκος

in_order_that /may_be/_filled ˱of˲_me the house

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who would do the action. Alternate translation: “so that guests may fill my house”
