OET interlinear LUKE 17:17

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν

answering and ¬the Jesus said

Together the two words answering and said mean that Jesus spoke in response to the Samaritan man coming back to thank him. Alternate translation: “Jesus responded”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν

answering and ¬the Jesus said

Jesus responded to what the man did, but he did so by speaking about the man to the group of people around him, rather than to the man directly. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “Then Jesus said to the crowd”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὐχὶ οἱ δέκα ἐκαθαρίσθησαν?

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν οὐχ οἱ δέκα ἐκαθαρίσθησαν οἱ δὲ ἐννέα ποῦ)

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: “Did I not cleanse ten lepers?”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

οὐχὶ οἱ δέκα ἐκαθαρίσθησαν?

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν οὐχ οἱ δέκα ἐκαθαρίσθησαν οἱ δὲ ἐννέα ποῦ)

Jesus is using the question form for emphasis, to show the people around him how surprised and disappointed he is that only one of the ten men whom he healed came back to thank and praise God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement. Alternate translation: “I know that I healed ten men of their leprosy.”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

οἱ δὲ ἐννέα ποῦ?

the the but nine where_‹are›

Jesus is not asking the crowd to tell him where the other nine men are. He is using the question form for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or exclamation. Alternate translation: “The other nine men should have come back too!”
