OET interlinear LUKE 7:27

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὗτός ἐστιν περὶ οὗ γέγραπται

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οὗτος ἐστίν περί οὗ γέγραπται Ἰδού ἀποστέλλω τόν ἄγγελον μού πρό προσώπου σοῦ ὅς κατασκευάσει τήν ὁδόν σοῦ ἔμπροσθεν σοῦ)

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: [This is the one about whom one of the prophets wrote] or [John is the one about whom the prophet Malachi wrote]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰδοὺ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οὗτος ἐστίν περί οὗ γέγραπται Ἰδού ἀποστέλλω τόν ἄγγελον μού πρό προσώπου σοῦ ὅς κατασκευάσει τήν ὁδόν σοῦ ἔμπροσθεν σοῦ)

God, speaking through the prophet Malachi, uses the term Behold to emphasize the importance of what he is about to say. Alternate translation: [Now pay attention]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πρὸ προσώπου σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οὗτος ἐστίν περί οὗ γέγραπται Ἰδού ἀποστέλλω τόν ἄγγελον μού πρό προσώπου σοῦ ὅς κατασκευάσει τήν ὁδόν σοῦ ἔμπροσθεν σοῦ)

Here, face means the front of a person. Alternate translation, as in UST: [ahead of you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / you

σου & σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οὗτος ἐστίν περί οὗ γέγραπται Ἰδού ἀποστέλλω τόν ἄγγελον μού πρό προσώπου σοῦ ὅς κατασκευάσει τήν ὁδόν σοῦ ἔμπροσθεν σοῦ)

The words your and you are singular in both cases because God is speaking to the Messiah individually in the quotation.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὃς κατασκευάσει τὴν ὁδόν σου ἔμπροσθέν σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οὗτος ἐστίν περί οὗ γέγραπται Ἰδού ἀποστέλλω τόν ἄγγελον μού πρό προσώπου σοῦ ὅς κατασκευάσει τήν ὁδόν σοῦ ἔμπροσθεν σοῦ)

As in [3:4](../03/04.md), to make a way or a road is a figurative expression that means to help people get ready for the coming of the Messiah. Alternate translation: [who will help people get ready for you to come]
