OET interlinear LUKE 21:15

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-versebridge

γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐγώ γάρ δώσω ὑμῖν στόμα καί σοφίαν ᾗ οὒ δυνήσονται ἀντιστῆναι ἤ ἀντειπεῖν πάντες οἱ ἀντικείμενοι ὑμῖν)

Jesus is giving the reason why his disciples should do what he told them in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could put this reason before the result by creating a verse bridge. You could combine [21:14](../21/14.md) and [21:15](../21/15.md), putting all of [21:15](../21/15.md) first, followed by all of [21:14](../21/14.md). You could begin [21:15](../21/15.md) with “Since” and have no introductory word for [21:14](../21/14.md), or you could have no introductory word for [21:15](../21/15.md) and begin [21:14](../21/14.md) with “So.”

Jesus is using the term mouth to refer to speech. Alternate translation: [speech and wisdom]

στόμα καὶ σοφίαν

˓a˒_mouth (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐγώ γάρ δώσω ὑμῖν στόμα καί σοφίαν ᾗ οὒ δυνήσονται ἀντιστῆναι ἤ ἀντειπεῖν πάντες οἱ ἀντικείμενοι ὑμῖν)

The phrase a mouth and wisdom expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word wisdom describes what kind of speech Jesus will give the disciples. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [wise things to say] or [wise responses]

ᾗ οὐ δυνήσονται ἀντιστῆναι ἢ ἀντειπεῖν, πάντες οἱ ἀντικείμενοι ὑμῖν

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning of the negative word not combined with the negative verbs resist and contradict as a single positive statement. (See note just below explaining that these two verbs likely form a doublet.) Alternate translation: [that all of your adversaries will have to agree are true]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἀντιστῆναι ἢ ἀντειπεῖν

The terms resist and contradict mean basically the same thing. Jesus is likely using repetition for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these terms into a single, equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [to deny]
