Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τυφλοὶ ἀναβλέπουσιν, καὶ χωλοὶ περιπατοῦσιν, λεπροὶ καθαρίζονται, καὶ κωφοὶ ἀκούουσιν, καὶ νεκροὶ ἐγείρονται, καὶ πτωχοὶ εὐαγγελίζονται
blind /are/_receiving_sight and lame /are/_walking lepers /are_being/_cleansed and deaf /are/_hearing and dead /are_being/_raised and poor /are_being/_gospel_preached
When he answers John’s disciples, Jesus lists many things that he has done. John’s disciples would have known that this list is similar to the lists found in Isaiah 35:5–6 and Isaiah 61:1 that describe what will happen when God acts to help his people. Jesus does not directly quote either of these lists, but he wants John’s disciples to know that what he has done is what God promised would happen when the Messiah came. If it would be helpful in your language, you could include a footnote that refers to the lists in Isaiah, or you could include a small amount of explanatory information. Alternate translation: “Just as God promised, the blind are seeing again, and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised, and the poor are being told the gospel”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
τυφλοὶ & χωλοὶ & κωφοὶ & νεκροὶ & πτωχοὶ
blind & lame & deaf & dead & poor
Jesus is using the adjectives blind, lame, deaf, dead, and poor as nouns in order to describe groups of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “Blind people … lame people … deaf people … dead people … poor people”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
λεπροὶ καθαρίζονται & νεκροὶ ἐγείρονται, καὶ πτωχοὶ εὐαγγελίζονται
lepers /are_being/_cleansed & dead /are_being/_raised and poor /are_being/_gospel_preached
If your language does not use these passive forms, you could express the ideas in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “lepers become clean … the dead come back to life, and the poor hear the gospel”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
λεπροὶ καθαρίζονται
lepers /are_being/_cleansed
Here, much as in 10:8, Jesus speaks of ceremonially cleansing lepers, but he implies that the lepers are healed of their skin diseases, since these are what make lepers unclean. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “lepers are healed from their unclean diseases”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
νεκροὶ ἐγείρονται
dead /are_being/_raised
Here, the phrase the dead are raised refers to people who have died becoming alive again. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the dead live again”
11:5 Jesus’ miracles of compassion inaugurated the Kingdom of God (12:28; see Isa 29:18-19; 35:5-6; 61:1). Jesus expected John to understand that he was fulfilling Old Testament expectations.
