OET interlinear LUKE 6:42

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

πῶς δύνασαι λέγειν τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Πῶς δύνασαι λέγειν τῷ ἀδελφῷ σοῦ Ἀδελφέ ἄφες ἐκβάλω τό κάρφος τό ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ σοῦ αὐτός τήν ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ σοῦ δοκόν οὒ βλέπων Ὑποκριτά ἔκβαλε πρῶτον τήν δοκόν ἐκ τοῦ ὀφθαλμοῦ σοῦ καί τότε διαβλέψεις τό κάρφος τό ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σοῦ ἐκβαλεῖν)

Jesus is speaking to his disciples and the crowd, but he is addressing an individual situation, so you and your are singular here. (The terms you, your, and yourself are also singular throughout the rest of this verse, because either Jesus is addressing an individual situation, or one person is addressing another in fictional dialogue.) If the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could use the plural forms in your translation.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

πῶς δύνασαι λέγειν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Πῶς δύνασαι λέγειν τῷ ἀδελφῷ σοῦ Ἀδελφέ ἄφες ἐκβάλω τό κάρφος τό ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ σοῦ αὐτός τήν ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ σοῦ δοκόν οὒ βλέπων Ὑποκριτά ἔκβαλε πρῶτον τήν δοκόν ἐκ τοῦ ὀφθαλμοῦ σοῦ καί τότε διαβλέψεις τό κάρφος τό ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σοῦ ἐκβαλεῖν)

Jesus is using this question as a teaching tool, not to ask for information. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement. Alternate translation: [You should not say]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου, ἀδελφέ, ἄφες

˱to˲_the brother the the the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Πῶς δύνασαι λέγειν τῷ ἀδελφῷ σοῦ Ἀδελφέ ἄφες ἐκβάλω τό κάρφος τό ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ σοῦ αὐτός τήν ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ σοῦ δοκόν οὒ βλέπων Ὑποκριτά ἔκβαλε πρῶτον τήν δοκόν ἐκ τοῦ ὀφθαλμοῦ σοῦ καί τότε διαβλέψεις τό κάρφος τό ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σοῦ ἐκβαλεῖν)

The term Brother means a fellow believer in Jesus. So in its first instance here, you could translate the term the way you did in [6:41](../06/41.md). But since it is realistic that in dialogue one believer might address another believer as Brother or “Sister,” you could retain the figurative term in its second instance. Alternate translation: [to a fellow believer, ‘Brother,’ or ‘Sister, let]

A log could not literally go into a person’s eye. Jesus is continuing to exaggerate to emphasize his point and make it memorable. Alternate translation: [your own serious faults]
