OET interlinear LUKE 8:24

uW Translation Notes:

Ἐπιστάτα

Master

Master is the title by which disciples addressed their teacher in this culture. If your language and culture have a similar term, you could use it here in your translation.

λέγοντες, Ἐπιστάτα, Ἐπιστάτα, ἀπολλύμεθα!

saying Master Master ˱we˲_˓are˒_perishing

The repetition indicates that the disciples called to Jesus urgently and continually. Alternate translation: [crying out continually, “Master! We’re going to die]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἀπολλύμεθα

˱we˲_˓are˒_perishing

Since the disciples want Jesus to understand that he is in danger too, the word We would include him. Alternate translation: [We’re all going to die]

ἐπετίμησεν

gave_rebuke

Alternate translation: [spoke sharply to]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

τῷ κλύδωνι, τοῦ ὕδατος

˱to˲_the ˱to˲_the wave ˱of˲_the water

In your language, it might seem that the wording here expresses unnecessary extra information. If so, you could abbreviate it. However, you could also translate this as expressing emphasis. Alternate translation: [the waves] or [the violent waves]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

ἐπαύσαντο καὶ ἐγένετο γαλήνη

˱they˲_ceased (Some words not found in SR-GNT: προσελθόντες Δέ διήγειραν αὐτόν λέγοντες Ἐπιστάτα Ἐπιστάτα ἀπολλύμεθα ὁ Δέ διεγερθείς ἐπετίμησεν τῷ ἀνέμῳ καί τῷ κλύδωνι τοῦ ὕδατος καί ἐπαύσαντο καί ἐγένετο γαλήνη)

These two phrases mean similar things. Luke uses the repetition to emphasize what great power Jesus demonstrated. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these phrases. However, you could also translate both phrases and show how the second expresses the results of the first. Alternate translation: [the storm ended] or [the storm ended, so that the lake became calm again]
