OET interlinear LUKE 22:47

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰδοὺ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος ἰδού ὄχλος καί ὁ λεγόμενος Ἰούδας εἱς τῶν δώδεκα προήρχετο αὐτούς καί ἤγγισεν τῷ Ἰησοῦ φιλῆσαι αὐτόν)

Luke uses the term behold to calls the reader’s attention to what he is about to say. Your language may have a similar expression that you can use here.

Note 2 topic: writing-participants

ὄχλος

˓a˒_crowd

Luke is introducing new characters into the story. If your language has its own way of doing that, you could use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: [there was a crowd that arrived]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὁ λεγόμενος Ἰούδας

the_‹one› ˓being˒_called Judas

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: [the man whose name was Judas] or [the man that people called Judas]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

εἷς τῶν δώδεκα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος ἰδού ὄχλος καί ὁ λεγόμενος Ἰούδας εἱς τῶν δώδεκα προήρχετο αὐτούς καί ἤγγισεν τῷ Ἰησοῦ φιλῆσαι αὐτόν)

See how you translated this phrase in [8:1](../08/01.md). You may have decided to translate the nominal adjective Twelve with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [who was one of the 12 men Jesus had appointed to be apostles]

Note 5 topic: translate-names

τῶν δώδεκα

˱of˲_the twelve

You may have decided instead in [8:1](../08/01.md) to translate Twelve as a title, even if your language does not ordinarily use adjectives as nouns. If so, you can do the same thing here.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

προήρχετο αὐτούς

˓was˒_going_ahead them

Judas was showing the people where Jesus was. He was not the person in charge of the whole group. Alternate translation: [leading them to where Jesus was]

Note 7 topic: translate-symaction

φιλῆσαι αὐτόν

˓to˒_kiss him

In this culture, when men greeted other men who were family or friends, they would kiss them on one cheek or on both cheeks. If your readers would find it embarrassing if you said that one man would kiss another man, you could explain the purpose of the gesture, or you could translate the expression in a more general way. Alternate translation: [to greet him by kissing him on the cheek] or [to give him a friendly greeting]
