OET interlinear MAT 12:16

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

αὐτοῖς ἵνα μὴ φανερὸν αὐτὸν ποιήσωσιν

˱to˲_them that not manifest him ˱they˲_/may/_make

It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: “them, ‘Do not make me known,’”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτοῖς ἵνα μὴ & ποιήσωσιν

˱to˲_them that not & ˱they˲_/may/_make

The pronoun them could refer to: (1) all the people who were following Jesus. Alternate translation: “all of them that they might not make” (2) just the people whom he healed. Alternate translation: “those he had healed that they might not make”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μὴ φανερὸν αὐτὸν ποιήσωσιν

not manifest him ˱they˲_/may/_make

Here, the phrase make him known refers to telling many people about him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “they might not talk about him with many other people” or “they might not speak about him with everyone”
