OET interlinear LUKE 19:22

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

λέγει αὐτῷ, ἐκ τοῦ στόματός σου κρίνω σε, πονηρὲ δοῦλε; ᾔδεις ὅτι ἐγὼ ἄνθρωπος αὐστηρός εἰμι, αἴρων ὃ οὐκ ἔθηκα, καὶ θερίζων ὃ οὐκ ἔσπειρα?

˱he˲_/is/_saying ˱to˲_him out_of the mouth ˱of˲_you ˱I˲_/will_be/_judging you evil slave ˱you˲_/had/_known that I /a/_man austere am taking_up what not ˱I˲_laid and reaping what not ˱I˲_sowed

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 king told him that he was a wicked servant and that he would judge him by what he had just said. The king said to suppose that he really was a harsh man who took other people’s property as his own and benefitted from other people’s hard work]

Note 2 topic: translate-tense

λέγει αὐτῷ

˱he˲_/is/_saying ˱to˲_him

To call attention to a development in the story, this parable uses the present tense here in past narration. See how you decided to approach this usage in 7:40. If it would not be natural to use the present tense in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: [The king said to this servant]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐκ τοῦ στόματός σου

out_of the mouth ˱of˲_you

The king is using the term mouth to refer to what the servant said using his mouth. Alternate translation: [based on what you have just said]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ᾔδεις ὅτι ἐγὼ ἄνθρωπος αὐστηρός εἰμι, αἴρων ὃ οὐκ ἔθηκα, καὶ θερίζων ὃ οὐκ ἔσπειρα?

˱you˲_/had/_known that I /a/_man austere am taking_up what not ˱I˲_laid and reaping what not ˱I˲_sowed

The king is not asking the servant to verify what he has just said. Rather, he is using the question form to challenge the servant. He is repeating what the servant said about him, but not to grant that it is true. Rather, he is about to tell the servant what he should have done if it actually had been true. Alternate translation: [So you thought I was a harsh man who took other people’s property as his own and benefitted from other people’s hard work!]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

αἴρων ὃ οὐκ ἔθηκα, καὶ θερίζων ὃ οὐκ ἔσπειρα

taking_up what not ˱I˲_laid and reaping what not ˱I˲_sowed

See how you translated these expressions in 19:21. Alternate translation: [who took other people’s property as his own and benefitted from other people’s hard work]
