OET interlinear MAT 12:32

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

εἴπῃ λόγον

/may/_speak /a/_word

Matthew is using the term word to mean something spoken in words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “says anything”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man

Here Jesus speaks about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person. Alternate translation: “the Son of Man, that is, me”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀφεθήσεται αὐτῷ & οὐκ ἀφεθήσεται αὐτῷ

˱it˲_/will_be_being/_forgiven ˱to˲_him & not ˱it˲_/will_be_being/_forgiven ˱to˲_him

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. If you need to say who does the actions, it is clear from the context that it is God. Alternate translation: “God will forgive him … God will not forgive him”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

(Occurrence -1) αὐτῷ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ὃς ἐὰν εἴπῃ λόγον κατὰ τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἀφεθήσεται αὐτῷ ὃς δʼ ἂν εἴπῃ κατὰ τοῦ Πνεύματος τοῦ Ἁγίου οὐκ ἀφεθήσεται αὐτῷ οὔτε ἐν τούτῳ τῷ αἰῶνι οὔτε ἐν τῷ μέλλοντι)

Although the terms him and him are masculine, Jesus is using the words in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use phrases that make this clear. Alternate translation: “that person … that person”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν τούτῳ τῷ αἰῶνι οὔτε ἐν τῷ μέλλοντι

in this the age nor in the_‹one› coming

Here, the phrase this age refers to the time before God judges everyone and renews the world, and the phrase the one coming refers to the time after God judges everyone and renews the world. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use comparable phrases or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “in this life, nor in the life to come” or “before God judges everyone, nor after God judges everyone” or “now nor ever”
