OET interlinear LUKE 8:22

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

ἐγένετο δὲ

˱it˲_became (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐγένετο Δέ ἐν μιᾷ τῶν ἡμερῶν καί αὐτός ἐνέβη εἰς πλοῖον καί οἱ μαθηταί αὐτοῦ καί εἶπεν πρός αὐτούς Διέλθωμεν εἰς τό πέραν τῆς λίμνης Καί ἀνήχθησαν)

Luke uses this phrase to introduce a new event in the story. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν μιᾷ τῶν ἡμερῶν

on one ˱of˲_the days

Luke uses the term days to refer to a particular time. Alternate translation: [around that time]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

καὶ αὐτὸς ἐνέβη εἰς πλοῖον καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς, διέλθωμεν εἰς τὸ πέραν τῆς λίμνης

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐγένετο Δέ ἐν μιᾷ τῶν ἡμερῶν καί αὐτός ἐνέβη εἰς πλοῖον καί οἱ μαθηταί αὐτοῦ καί εἶπεν πρός αὐτούς Διέλθωμεν εἰς τό πέραν τῆς λίμνης Καί ἀνήχθησαν)

It seems unlikely that Jesus and his disciples would have gotten into a boat before they were planning to sail somewhere. So here Luke is probably describing the result before the reason. If it would be helpful in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the action that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they all got into a boat together]

Note 4 topic: translate-names

τῆς λίμνης

˱of˲_the lake

This means the Lake of Genneseret, which is also called the Sea of Galilee. But since Jesus would have referred to it simply as the lake while he and his disciples were on it, you do not need to use the proper name in your translation.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀνήχθησαν

˱they˲_˓were˒_launched

This expression means that they began to travel across the lake in their boat. Alternate translation: [they headed out across the lake]
