OET interlinear LUKE 23:35

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ ἵστήκει, ὁ λαὸς θεωρῶν ἐξεμυκτήριζον, δὲ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες

and also (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ εἱστήκει ὁ λαὸς θεωρῶν ἐξεμυκτήριζον δὲ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες λέγοντες ἄλλους ἔσωσεν σωσάτω ἑαυτόν εἰ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ὁ ἐκλεκτός)

The implication is that the people who stood by watching were also ridiculing Jesus. Alternate translation: “People had come to watch the crucifixion and they ridiculed Jesus, and the Jewish leaders ridiculed him as well”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἱ ἄρχοντες

the rulers

Here rulers refers specifically to the Jewish leaders, not to the Roman rulers of the area. Alternate translation: “the Jewish leaders”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / irony

ἄλλους ἔσωσεν

others ˱he˲_saved

Here the Jewish leaders are using irony. They do not really believe that Jesus saved other people. Alternate translation: “He supposedly saved other people”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἄλλους ἔσωσεν

others ˱he˲_saved

In context, the Jewish leaders are implicitly referring to how Jesus saved others by doing miracles on their behalf. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “He supposedly saved other people by doing miracles for them”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

ἄλλους ἔσωσεν, σωσάτω ἑαυτόν, εἰ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Χριστὸς, τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὁ ἐκλεκτός

others ˱he˲_saved ˱him˲_/let/_save himself if this is the Messiah (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ εἱστήκει ὁ λαὸς θεωρῶν ἐξεμυκτήριζον δὲ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες λέγοντες ἄλλους ἔσωσεν σωσάτω ἑαυτόν εἰ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ὁ ἐκλεκτός)

The Jewish leaders are mockingly suggesting a hypothetical situation. Alternate translation: “Suppose he really is the Messiah whom God has sent. Then he ought to be able to save himself; after all, he supposedly saved others”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

σωσάτω ἑαυτόν

˱him˲_/let/_save himself

The implication is that Jesus ought to be able to save himself from dying on the cross, if he is the Messiah and can do miracles. Alternate translation: “let him do a miracle to save himself from dying on the cross”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ὁ ἐκλεκτός

the the the the chosen_‹one›

The leaders are using the adjective Chosen as a noun. ULT adds the term One to show this. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate the term with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “the One whom God has chosen”

Note 8 topic: translate-names

ὁ ἐκλεκτός

the the the the chosen_‹one›

This is a title, not a description, so translate it following the conventions in your language for titles, for example, by capitalizing the main words.
