OET interlinear LUKE 22:37

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-versebridge

γὰρ

for

Jesus is giving the reason why the disciples should now be concerned about providing for and protecting themselves, as he said in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could put this reason before the result by combining this verse and the previous one into a verse bridge. See the suggestions in the note about the similar situation in 22:16 for how you might do this.

λέγω & ὑμῖν

˱I˲_/am/_saying & ˱to˲_you_all

Jesus says this to emphasize what he is about to tell the disciples. Alternate translation: “indeed”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τοῦτο τὸ γεγραμμένον

this which /having_been/_written

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who did the action. Alternate translation: “what a prophet wrote in the Scriptures”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῦτο τὸ γεγραμμένον

this which /having_been/_written

Jesus may be assuming that his disciples know the source and subject of this passage. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could identify it more specifically. Alternate translation: “what Isaiah wrote about the Messiah in the Scriptures”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

δεῖ τελεσθῆναι

˱it˲_/is/_fitting /to_be/_accomplished

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. The meaning of accomplished is the same as for the word “fulfilled” in 1:1, 1:20, and many other places in the book, even though the Greek verb is different. Alternate translation: “must happen to me”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

τό καὶ μετὰ ἀνόμων ἐλογίσθη

¬which and with /the/_lawless ˱he˲_/was/_reckoned

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. It may be more natural in your language to use a singular form here. Alternate translation: “that people would consider me to be a criminal”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

μετὰ ἀνόμων ἐλογίσθη

with /the/_lawless ˱he˲_/was/_reckoned

Jesus is using the adjective lawless as a noun in order to indicate a type of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “he was considered a criminal”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

μετὰ ἀνόμων ἐλογίσθη

with /the/_lawless ˱he˲_/was/_reckoned

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who did the action. Alternate translation: “people considered him to be a criminal”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ γὰρ τὸ περὶ ἐμοῦ τέλος ἔχει

and also for the_‹thing› concerning me /an/_end /is/_having

Here Jesus is speaking implicitly about what the Scriptures say about him. Alternate translation: “Yes, what the Scriptures say about me must certainly happen”
