OET interlinear LUKE 20:31

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

καὶ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ὁ τρίτος ἔλαβεν αὐτήν ὡσαύτως δέ καί οἱ ἑπτά οὒ κατέλιπον τέκνα καί ἀπέθανον)

The Sadducees are continuing to describe a hypothetical situation. It may be helpful to make this a separate sentence. Alternate translation: [And suppose that]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ τρίτος ἔλαβεν αὐτήν

the third took her

The implication, as the end of the verse says specifically, is that after this third brother married the widow, he too died before they had any children. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. It may be helpful to make this a separate sentence. Alternate translation: [The third brother then married her, but he also died before they had any children]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ὁ τρίτος

the third

Jesus is using the adjective third as a noun in order to indicate a particular person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could specify the person. Alternate translation: [the third brother] or [the next oldest brother]

Note 4 topic: translate-ordinal

ὁ τρίτος

the third

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use a cardinal number here. Alternate translation: [brother number three] or [the next oldest brother]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ οἱ ἑπτὰ, οὐ κατέλιπον τέκνα, καὶ ἀπέθανον

likewise (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί ὁ τρίτος ἔλαβεν αὐτήν ὡσαύτως δέ καί οἱ ἑπτά οὒ κατέλιπον τέκνα καί ἀπέθανον)

The Sadducees are speaking in a compact way in order to keep the story short. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could supply the information they leave out from the context. It may be helpful to make this a separate sentence. Alternate translation: [In the same way, the rest of the seven brothers married this widow, but they all died before they had any children]
