OET interlinear LUKE 7:34

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man

Here Jesus is referring to himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: “I, the Son of Man”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man

See how you translated this title in 5:24. In this case the title highlights Jesus’ identification with humanity in the special role that God has given him. Alternate translation: “I, the Messiah”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

λέγετε, ἰδοὺ, ἄνθρωπος φάγος καὶ οἰνοπότης, φίλος τελωνῶν καὶ ἁμαρτωλῶν

˱you_all˲_/are/_saying behold /a/_man glutton and /a/_drunkard /a/_friend ˱of˲_tax_collectors and ˱of˲_sinners

Luke is quoting Jesus, and Jesus is quoting what the Pharisees were saying about him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “you say that he eats and drinks too much and that he is a friend of tax collectors and sinners” or (if you used the first person for the title “Son of Man”) “you say that I eat and drink too much and that I am a friend of tax collectors and sinners”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰδοὺ

behold

Behold focuses the attention of the listener on what the speaker is about to say. Alternate translation: “Now this is”

Alternate translation: “a man who is a glutton” or “a man who eats too much”

ἄνθρωπος & οἰνοπότης

/a/_man & /a/_drunkard

Alternate translation: “a man who is a drunkard” or “a man who drinks too much alcohol”
