OET interlinear MAT 13:36

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

τότε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ἀφείς τούς ὄχλους ἦλθεν εἰς τήν οἰκίαν Καί προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί αὐτοῦ λέγοντες Διασάφησον ἡμῖν τήν παραβολήν τῶν ζιζανίων τοῦ ἀγροῦ)

Here, the word Then introduces the next major event in the story. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave Then untranslated. Alternate translation: [After that] or [Next]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν οἰκίαν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ἀφείς τούς ὄχλους ἦλθεν εἰς τήν οἰκίαν Καί προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί αὐτοῦ λέγοντες Διασάφησον ἡμῖν τήν παραβολήν τῶν ζιζανίων τοῦ ἀγροῦ)

Matthew refers to the house that Jesus had been in before he taught in parables (see [13:1](../13/01.md)). You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the house where he had been] or [the house in which he had taught previously]

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

λέγοντες

saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [and they said]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

λέγοντες, διασάφησον ἡμῖν τὴν παραβολὴν τῶν ζιζανίων τοῦ ἀγροῦ

saying (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ἀφείς τούς ὄχλους ἦλθεν εἰς τήν οἰκίαν Καί προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί αὐτοῦ λέγοντες Διασάφησον ἡμῖν τήν παραβολήν τῶν ζιζανίων τοῦ ἀγροῦ)

It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: [asking him to explain to them the parable of the darnel of the field]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

διασάφησον ἡμῖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ἀφείς τούς ὄχλους ἦλθεν εἰς τήν οἰκίαν Καί προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί αὐτοῦ λέγοντες Διασάφησον ἡμῖν τήν παραβολήν τῶν ζιζανίων τοῦ ἀγροῦ)

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [We ask that you explain to us]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

διασάφησον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ἀφείς τούς ὄχλους ἦλθεν εἰς τήν οἰκίαν Καί προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί αὐτοῦ λέγοντες Διασάφησον ἡμῖν τήν παραβολήν τῶν ζιζανίων τοῦ ἀγροῦ)

Here, the command is singular because the disciples are speaking to Jesus.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὴν παραβολὴν τῶν ζιζανίων τοῦ ἀγροῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ἀφείς τούς ὄχλους ἦλθεν εἰς τήν οἰκίαν Καί προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί αὐτοῦ λέγοντες Διασάφησον ἡμῖν τήν παραβολήν τῶν ζιζανίων τοῦ ἀγροῦ)

Here the disciples are using the possessive form to describe the parable that was about the darnel that grew in the field. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the parable concerning the darnel that grew in the field]

Note 8 topic: translate-unknown

τῶν ζιζανίων

˱of˲_the darnels

Translate the word darnel as you did in [13:24](../13/24.md). Alternate translation: [of the weeds] or [of the poisonous plants that look like wheat]
