OET interlinear MAT 10:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

and

Here, the word Now introduces the next section of the instructions that Jesus is giving to his disciples. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next section, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: “Next,”

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

κηρύσσετε λέγοντες

/be/_proclaiming saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “preach this:”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

λέγοντες, ὅτι ἤγγικεν ἡ Βασιλεία τῶν Οὐρανῶν

saying ¬that /has/_neared the Kingdom ˱of˲_the Heavens

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “saying that the kingdom of the heavens has come near.”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἤγγικεν

/has/_neared

Here Matthew uses this phrase in the sense of near in time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. See how you translated the similar phrase in 3:2. Alternate translation: “is about to begin” or “is about to happen”
