OET interlinear LUKE 4:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἀποκριθείς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ Γέγραπται Κύριον τόν Θεόν σοῦ προσκυνήσεις καί αὐτῷ μόνῳ λατρεύσεις)

Together the words answering and said mean that Jesus responded to the offer that the devil made. Alternate translation: [Jesus responded to him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

γέγραπται, Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου προσκυνήσεις καὶ αὐτῷ μόνῳ λατρεύσεις

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἀποκριθείς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ Γέγραπται Κύριον τόν Θεόν σοῦ προσκυνήσεις καί αὐτῷ μόνῳ λατρεύσεις)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [It is written that one must worship the Lord his God and serve only him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

γέγραπται

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἀποκριθείς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ Γέγραπται Κύριον τόν Θεόν σοῦ προσκυνήσεις καί αὐτῷ μόνῳ λατρεύσεις)

Jesus clearly implies in his answer that he is rejecting the devil’s challenge. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly, as UST does. Alternate translation: [Jesus replied, ‘No, I will not do that, because it is written’]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

γέγραπται

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἀποκριθείς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ Γέγραπται Κύριον τόν Θεόν σοῦ προσκυνήσεις καί αὐτῷ μόνῳ λατρεύσεις)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state what is doing the action. Alternate translation: [The Scriptures say]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου προσκυνήσεις καὶ αὐτῷ μόνῳ λατρεύσεις

Here, the Scriptures are using a statement to give a command. Alternate translation: [You must worship the Lord your God, and you must serve only him]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

προσκυνήσεις

˱you˲_˓will_be˒_prostrating

Here, it may not be clear whether to use the singular or plural form of You because this is a short quotation from the Scriptures and the context is not given. The word is actually singular because, even though Moses said this to the Israelites as a group, each individual person was supposed to obey this command. So in your translation, use the singular form of You, if your language marks that distinction. In general these notes will not discuss whether You is singular or plural when this should be clear from the context. But they will address ambiguous cases such as this one.
