OET interlinear MAT 13:40

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὖν

therefore

Here, the word Therefore introduces an inference or conclusion based on how Jesus has interpreted the story about the darnel and the grain. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an inference or conclusion, or you could leave Therefore untranslated. Alternate translation: “So then”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

ὥσπερ & συλλέγεται τὰ ζιζάνια καὶ πυρὶ κατακαίεται, οὕτως ἔσται ἐν τῇ συντελείᾳ τοῦ αἰῶνος

as & /is_being/_gathered the darnels and ˱in˲_fire /is_being/_burned_up thus ˱it˲_will_be in the completion ˱of˲_the age

Here Jesus compares how the darnel are gathered and burned with fire to what will happen at the end of the age. Jesus explains this comparison in the following verses, so you do not need to explain it here. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that clearly compares the end of the age with how the darnel are gathered and burned with fire. Alternate translation: “think about how the darnel are gathered and burned with fire. That is what the end of the age will be like”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

συλλέγεται τὰ ζιζάνια καὶ πυρὶ κατακαίεται

/is_being/_gathered the darnels and ˱in˲_fire /is_being/_burned_up

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 workers who were harvesting. Alternate translation: “the ones who are harvesting gather the darnel and burn them with fire”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν τῇ συντελείᾳ τοῦ αἰῶνος

in the completion ˱of˲_the age

See how you translated the phrase the end of the age in 13:39. Alternate translation: “during the end of the world” or “at the moment in the future when the current way of doing things will cease”
