OET interlinear LUKE 7:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

καὶ & ἐγὼ ἄνθρωπός εἰμι ὑπὸ ἐξουσίαν τασσόμενος, ἔχων ὑπ’ ἐμαυτὸν στρατιώτας

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί Γάρ ἐγώ ἄνθρωπος εἰμί ὑπό ἐξουσίαν τασσόμενος ἔχων ὑπʼ ἐμαυτόν στρατιώτας καί λέγω τούτῳ Πορεύθητι καί πορεύεται καί ἄλλῳ Ἔρχου καί ἔρχεται καί τῷ δούλῳ μού Ποίησον τοῦτο καί ποιεῖ)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: [I also have someone in authority over me, and I have soldiers under me]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὑπ’ ἐμαυτὸν

under (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί Γάρ ἐγώ ἄνθρωπος εἰμί ὑπό ἐξουσίαν τασσόμενος ἔχων ὑπʼ ἐμαυτόν στρατιώτας καί λέγω τούτῳ Πορεύθητι καί πορεύεται καί ἄλλῳ Ἔρχου καί ἔρχεται καί τῷ δούλῳ μού Ποίησον τοῦτο καί ποιεῖ)

This is a spatial metaphor that describes the authority relationship. Alternate translation: [under my authority]

τῷ δούλῳ μου

˱to˲_the slave (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί Γάρ ἐγώ ἄνθρωπος εἰμί ὑπό ἐξουσίαν τασσόμενος ἔχων ὑπʼ ἐμαυτόν στρατιώτας καί λέγω τούτῳ Πορεύθητι καί πορεύεται καί ἄλλῳ Ἔρχου καί ἔρχεται καί τῷ δούλῳ μού Ποίησον τοῦτο καί ποιεῖ)

Here the word that ULT translates as servant is the typical word for a servant, as in [7:2](../07/02.md) and [7:3](../07/03.md). It is not the word that usually means “boy,” as in [7:7](../07/07.md).
