OET interlinear MAT 10:28

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῶν ἀποκτεννόντων

the_‹ones› killing_off

The phrase the ones refers to humans in general. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [humans, the ones killing]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ σῶμα, τὴν & ψυχὴν & καὶ ψυχὴν καὶ σῶμα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί μή φοβήθητε ἀπό τῶν ἀποκτεννόντων τό σῶμα τήν δέ ψυχήν μή δυναμένων ἀποκτεῖναι φοβεῖσθε δέ μᾶλλον τόν δυνάμενον καί ψυχήν καί σῶμα ἀπολέσαι ἐν Γεέννῃ)

Jesus uses the words body and soul to distinguish between the physical and non-physical parts of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use words that describe the physical and non-physical parts of a person, or you could use more general expressions. Alternate translation: [your physical parts … your non-physical parts … both your physical and non-physical parts]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ μᾶλλον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί μή φοβήθητε ἀπό τῶν ἀποκτεννόντων τό σῶμα τήν δέ ψυχήν μή δυναμένων ἀποκτεῖναι φοβεῖσθε δέ μᾶλλον τόν δυνάμενον καί ψυχήν καί σῶμα ἀπολέσαι ἐν Γεέννῃ)

Matthew contrasts fear of people with fear of God by using the phrase But instead. People are only able to kill our physical bodies, but God is the one being able to destroy both our physical bodies and our spiritual souls. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a contrast. Alternate translation: [But rather]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν δυνάμενον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί μή φοβήθητε ἀπό τῶν ἀποκτεννόντων τό σῶμα τήν δέ ψυχήν μή δυναμένων ἀποκτεῖναι φοβεῖσθε δέ μᾶλλον τόν δυνάμενον καί ψυχήν καί σῶμα ἀπολέσαι ἐν Γεέννῃ)

The phrase the one refers to God. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [God, who is able]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

Γεέννῃ

Gehenna

Jesus uses the name Gehenna to refer to hell. The valley named Gehenna was outside the city of Jerusalem and was a place where people threw out and burned garbage. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a simile or state the meaning plainly. See how you translated this name in [5:22](../05/22.md). Alternate translation: [a place like the valley of Gehenna] or [hell, which is like Gehenna]
