OET interlinear LUKE 18:24

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-textvariants

ἰδὼν δὲ αὐτὸν ὁ Ἰησοῦς

/having/_seen and him ¬the Jesus

Many manuscripts have two additional Greek words here, so that this says, “Then Jesus, seeing him having become sad.” See the discussion of textual issues at the end of the General Notes to this chapter to decide whether to represent those words in your translation. Alternate translation (if you choose to represent them): “Then Jesus, noticing how sad the ruler had become”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

πῶς δυσκόλως οἱ τὰ χρήματα ἔχοντες, εἰς τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰσπορεύονται

how difficultly the_‹ones› ¬the wealth having into the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἰδὼν δὲ αὐτὸν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν πῶς δυσκόλως οἱ τὰ χρήματα ἔχοντες εἰς τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰσελεύσονται)

This is an exclamation, not a question. Alternate translation: “It is so very difficult for those who are rich to enter the kingdom of God”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

πῶς δυσκόλως οἱ τὰ χρήματα ἔχοντες, εἰς τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰσπορεύονται

how difficultly the_‹ones› ¬the wealth having into the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἰδὼν δὲ αὐτὸν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν πῶς δυσκόλως οἱ τὰ χρήματα ἔχοντες εἰς τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰσελεύσονται)

See how you decided to translate the phrase the kingdom of God in 4:43. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun kingdom with a verb such as “rule.” Alternate translation: “It is so very difficult for those who are rich to allow God to rule their lives”
