OET interlinear MAT 13:17

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a reason why the disciples are blessed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis for a claim, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “You are blessed because” or “That is because”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἃ βλέπετε & ἃ ἀκούετε

what ˱you_all˲_/are/_seeing & what ˱you_all˲_/are/_hearing

Here Jesus implies that what the disciples see and hear is what he does and teaches. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “what you see me do … what you hear me say”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐκ εἶδαν & οὐκ ἤκουσαν

not ˱they˲_saw & not ˱they˲_heard

Here Jesus implies that these people did not see or hear what the disciples can see and hear. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “did not see those things … did not hear those things”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐκ εἶδαν & οὐκ ἤκουσαν

not ˱they˲_saw & not ˱they˲_heard

Here Jesus implies that these people did not see or hear what the disciples see and hear because they lived before Jesus was born. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “because they lived before this time, did not see … because they lived before this time, did not hear”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καὶ ἀκοῦσαι

and and and /to/_hear

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and they longed to hear”
