OET interlinear MAT 14:35

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

οἱ ἄνδρες

the men

Here Matthew uses a word that refers specifically to men. However, the gender of these people is not important for the story, so you could use a word or phrase that refers to both men and women. Alternate translation: “the people”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου

¬the ˱of˲_place that

Here, the phrase that place refers to the area named “Gennesaret” (see 14:34). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “of the region of Gennesaret”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

προσήνεγκαν

brought

Here, the pronoun they refers to the people who lived in that surrounding area. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to these people. Alternate translation: “people from that whole area brought”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πάντας

all

Matthew says all here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “many of”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας

the_‹ones› sickly being

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of sickness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the sick people”
