OET interlinear LUKE 18:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

ταῦτα πρὸς ἑαυτὸν προσηύχετο, ὁ Θεός, εὐχαριστῶ σοι ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ ὥσπερ οἱ λοιποὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ἅρπαγες, ἄδικοι, μοιχοί, ἢ καὶ ὡς οὗτος ὁ τελώνης

these_‹things› to himself /was/_praying ¬The God ˱I˲_/am/_giving_thanks ˱to˲_you that not ˱I˲_am as the rest ˱of˲_the people swindling unrighteous adulterers or even as this ¬the tax_collector

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [prayed about himself and thanked God that he was not like other people, who were robbers, unrighteous, and adulterers, or even like the tax collector who was there]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youformal

εὐχαριστῶ σοι

˱I˲_/am/_giving_thanks ˱to˲_you

Here, the pronoun you is singular because the Pharisee is addressing God. If your language has a formal form of you that it uses to address a superior respectfully, you may wish to use that form here. Alternatively, it might be effective to show this man addressing God using a familiar form, as if he could presume on God’s friendship and approval. Use your best judgment about what form to use.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

οἱ λοιποὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων

the rest ˱of˲_the people

The Pharisee is using the term men in a generic sense that includes all people. Alternate translation: [other people]

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

ἅρπαγες

swindling

The word robbers describes people who steal from other people by forcing them to give things to them. Your language may have a specific term for this kind of person. Alternate translation: [bandits]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ἄδικοι

unrighteous

The Pharisee is using the adjective unrighteous as a noun in order to indicate a group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [evildoers]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἢ καὶ ὡς οὗτος ὁ τελώνης

or even as this ¬the tax_collector

The Pharisees believed that any tax collector would be dishonest and cheat others, and so as a group they were as sinful as robbers, unrighteous people, and adulterers. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly, as UST does. Alternate translation: [and I am certainly not like this sinful tax collector who cheats people]
