OET interlinear MAT 10:35

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a further explanation of what Jesus said in the previous verse about bringing a “sword”. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “Indeed,” or “Specifically,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἦλθον

˱I˲_came

Here, the word came refers to Jesus entering this world as a human to do what God called him to do. Express the idea as you did in 10:34. Alternate translation: “I came to this world” or “I am acting”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

διχάσαι

/to/_divide

Here, the word set refers to separating things so that they no longer go together. Jesus means that he will cause family members to quarrel and fight with each other. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “to divide” or “to turn”

ἄνθρωπον

/a/_man

Alternate translation: “a son”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καὶ θυγατέρα κατὰ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτῆς, καὶ νύμφην κατὰ τῆς πενθερᾶς αὐτῆς

and /a/_daughter against the mother ˱of˲_her and /a/_daughter-in-law against the mother_in_law ˱of˲_her

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: “and to set a daughter against her mother, and to set a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law”
