OET interlinear MAT 12:13

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-tense

λέγει

˱he˲_˓is˒_saying

To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: [he said]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

ἔκτεινόν σου τὴν χεῖρα.

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε λέγει τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ Ἔκτεινον σοῦ τήν χεῖρα Καί ἐξέτεινεν καί ἀπεκατεστάθη ὑγιής ὡς ἡ ἄλλη)

This was not a command that the man was capable of obeying. Instead, this was a command that directly caused the man to be healed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea more explicitly. Alternate translation: [I heal you. Now stretch out your hand!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ἔκτεινόν σου τὴν χεῖρα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε λέγει τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ Ἔκτεινον σοῦ τήν χεῖρα Καί ἐξέτεινεν καί ἀπεκατεστάθη ὑγιής ὡς ἡ ἄλλη)

The command and the word your are singular since Jesus is speaking directly to the man with the withered hand.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀπεκατεστάθη, ὑγιὴς

˱it˲_˓was˒_restored (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε λέγει τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ Ἔκτεινον σοῦ τήν χεῖρα Καί ἐξέτεινεν καί ἀπεκατεστάθη ὑγιής ὡς ἡ ἄλλη)

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was Jesus. Alternate translation: [it became healthy] or [Jesus restored it to health]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἀπεκατεστάθη, ὑγιὴς

˱it˲_˓was˒_restored (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε λέγει τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ Ἔκτεινον σοῦ τήν χεῖρα Καί ἐξέτεινεν καί ἀπεκατεστάθη ὑγιής ὡς ἡ ἄλλη)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of health, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [it was made healthy]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ἡ ἄλλη

the other

Matthew is using the adjective other as a noun to mean the man’s other hand. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [the other hand]
