OET interlinear MAT 10:20

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a reason why the disciples can be confident that they will be given what to say (see 10:19). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis for a claim, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “You can be confident because” or “Do not be anxious, since”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐ & ὑμεῖς ἐστε οἱ λαλοῦντες, ἀλλὰ τὸ Πνεῦμα τοῦ Πατρὸς ὑμῶν τὸ λαλοῦν ἐν ὑμῖν

not & you_all are the_‹ones› speaking but the Spirit ˱of˲_the Father ˱of˲_you_all ¬which speaking in you_all

Here Jesus means that they will not say whatever they think but will instead say what the Spirit reveals to them. He does not mean that the Spirit will use their bodies to project his voice. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “you are not speaking your own words, but the words you speak come from the Spirit of your Father”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ Πνεῦμα τοῦ Πατρὸς ὑμῶν

the Spirit ˱of˲_the Father ˱of˲_you_all

Here, the phrase the Spirit of your Father refers to the Holy Spirit, whom the Father sends. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the Holy Spirit, sent by your Father,”

Note 4 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

τοῦ Πατρὸς ὑμῶν

˱of˲_the Father ˱of˲_you_all

Father is an important title for the first person in the Trinity. He is the Father also of Jesus.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

τοῦ Πατρὸς ὑμῶν τὸ λαλοῦν

˱of˲_the Father ˱of˲_you_all ¬which speaking

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “of your Father is the one speaking”
