OET interlinear MAT 13:22

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

and

Here, the word Now introduces the next thing that Jesus wants to say. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next topic, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: “Next,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ & εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας σπαρείς, οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τὸν λόγον ἀκούων, καὶ ἡ μέριμνα τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου καὶ ἡ ἀπάτη τοῦ πλούτου συνπνίγει τὸν λόγον, καὶ ἄκαρπος γίνεται

the_‹one› & among the thorns /having_been/_sown this is the_‹one› the word hearing and the worry ¬the ˱of˲_age (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ δὲ εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας σπαρείς οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τὸν λόγον ἀκούων καὶ ἡ μέριμνα τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἡ ἀπάτη τοῦ πλούτου συμπνίγει τὸν λόγον καὶ ἄκαρπος γίνεται)

Here Jesus speaks about what happens to this person as if it were what happened in the parable when the seed was sown among the thorns, which choke the plant that grows from the seed and make it unfruitful. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form. Alternative translation: “what happened to the seed having been sown among the thorns is like what happens to the one hearing the word, but the worry of this age and the deceitfulness of riches, like thorns, choke the word, so that it is not effective, just like that seed which becomes unfruitful”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

ὁ & εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας σπαρείς, οὗτός

the_‹one› & among the thorns /having_been/_sown this

Here, the word this refers directly back to the one having been sown among the thorns. Jesus expresses the idea in this way to introduce the one having been sown among the thorns and then explains what it means. If stating the topic and then referring back to it with the word this would be redundant in your language, you could omit the redundant information. Alternate translation: “the one having been sown among the thorns”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

σπαρείς

/having_been/_sown

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 the farmer who was sowing seed. Alternate translation: “that the farmer sowed”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence -1) τὸν λόγον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ δὲ εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας σπαρείς οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τὸν λόγον ἀκούων καὶ ἡ μέριμνα τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἡ ἀπάτη τοῦ πλούτου συμπνίγει τὸν λόγον καὶ ἄκαρπος γίνεται)

Here, just as in 13:19, Jesus is using the term word to mean something spoken in words. Express the idea as you did there. Alternate translation: “the proclamation … the proclamation” or “the news … the news”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence -1) τὸν λόγον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ δὲ εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας σπαρείς οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τὸν λόγον ἀκούων καὶ ἡ μέριμνα τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἡ ἀπάτη τοῦ πλούτου συμπνίγει τὸν λόγον καὶ ἄκαρπος γίνεται)

Here Jesus implies that this is the same “word of the kingdom” that he has mentioned in the previous verses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the word about the kingdom … this word”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡ μέριμνα τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου καὶ ἡ ἀπάτη τοῦ πλούτου

the worry ¬the ˱of˲_age the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ δὲ εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας σπαρείς οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τὸν λόγον ἀκούων καὶ ἡ μέριμνα τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἡ ἀπάτη τοῦ πλούτου συμπνίγει τὸν λόγον καὶ ἄκαρπος γίνεται)

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of worry and deceitfulness, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “this person worries about this age and is deceived by riches. These things”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἡ μέριμνα τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου

the worry ¬the ˱of˲_age the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ δὲ εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας σπαρείς οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τὸν λόγον ἀκούων καὶ ἡ μέριμνα τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἡ ἀπάτη τοῦ πλούτου συμπνίγει τὸν λόγον καὶ ἄκαρπος γίνεται)

Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe worry that is related to this age. In other words, the worry is about things and problems that exist in this age or world. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the worry about things in this age” or “the worry about what happens in this age”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἡ ἀπάτη τοῦ πλούτου

the the seduction ¬the ˱of˲_riches

Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe riches that are characterized by deceitfulness. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “deceitful riches” or “riches that deceive”
