OET interlinear LUKE 8:41

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰδοὺ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδού ἦλθεν ἀνήρ ᾧ ὄνομα Ἰάειρος καί οὗτος ἄρχων τῆς συναγωγῆς ὑπῆρχεν καί πεσών παρά τούς πόδας Ἰησοῦ παρεκάλει αὐτόν εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τόν οἶκον αὐτοῦ)

Luke uses behold to calls the reader’s attention to what he is about to say. Your language may have a similar expression that you can use here.

Note 2 topic: writing-participants

ἦλθεν ἀνὴρ ᾧ ὄνομα Ἰάειρος

came (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδού ἦλθεν ἀνήρ ᾧ ὄνομα Ἰάειρος καί οὗτος ἄρχων τῆς συναγωγῆς ὑπῆρχεν καί πεσών παρά τούς πόδας Ἰησοῦ παρεκάλει αὐτόν εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τόν οἶκον αὐτοῦ)

Luke uses this phrase to introduce a new character into the story. If your language has its own way of doing that, you could use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: [there was man whose name was Jairus, and he came]

Note 3 topic: translate-names

Ἰάειρος

Jairus

Jairus is the name of a man.

ἄρχων τῆς συναγωγῆς

˓a˒_ruler ˱of˲_the synagogue

Alternate translation: [one of the leaders at the local synagogue] or [a leader of the people who met at the synagogue in that city]

Note 4 topic: translate-symaction

πεσὼν παρὰ τοὺς πόδας Ἰησοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδού ἦλθεν ἀνήρ ᾧ ὄνομα Ἰάειρος καί οὗτος ἄρχων τῆς συναγωγῆς ὑπῆρχεν καί πεσών παρά τούς πόδας Ἰησοῦ παρεκάλει αὐτόν εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τόν οἶκον αὐτοῦ)

Be sure that it is clear in your translation that Jairus did not fall down accidentally. Rather, bowing or lying down in front of Jesus was a sign of humility and respect for him. Alternate translation: [respectfully bowed down at Jesus’ feet] or [respectfully lay down on the ground in front of Jesus]
