OET interlinear LUKE 8:43

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

γυνὴ οὖσα

/a/_woman being

This introduces a new character into the story. If your language has an expression of its own that serves this purpose, you could use it here.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

ἐν ῥύσει αἵματος

with /a/_hemorrhage ˱of˲_blood

Luke uses the phrase a flow of blood refers to her condition discreetly by using a mild expression. She was probably bleeding from her womb even when it was not the normal time for that. If your language has a polite way of referring to this condition, you could use that expression here.

Note 3 topic: translate-textvariants

ἰατροῖς προσαναλώσασα ὅλον τὸν βίον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ γυνὴ οὖσα ἐν ῥύσει αἵματος ἀπὸ ἐτῶν δώδεκα ἥτις οὐκ ἴσχυσεν ἀπʼ οὐδενὸς θεραπευθῆναι)

See the discussion of textual issues at the end of the General Notes to this chapter to decide whether to include this phrase in your translation. The note below discusses a translation issue in this phrase for those who decide to include it.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὅλον τὸν βίον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ γυνὴ οὖσα ἐν ῥύσει αἵματος ἀπὸ ἐτῶν δώδεκα ἥτις οὐκ ἴσχυσεν ἀπʼ οὐδενὸς θεραπευθῆναι)

This phrase uses the term living to mean the money that was needed for living. Alternate translation: [all of her money] or [all the money she had to live on]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὐκ ἴσχυσεν ἀπ’ οὐδενὸς θεραπευθῆναι

not was_able by no_one /to_be/_healed

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: [whom no one had been able to heal] or, if you include the phrase from the textual variant, “who had spent all of her money on doctors, but none of them had been able to heal her”
