OET interlinear MAT 14:36

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

παρεκάλουν

˱they˲_/were/_begging

The pronoun they refers to the sick people. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to these people more directly. Alternate translation: “the ones having sickness were begging”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

αὐτὸν ἵνα μόνον ἅψωνται τοῦ κρασπέδου τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ; καὶ

him that only ˱they˲_/may/_touch ˱against˲_the fringe ˱of˲_the garment ˱of˲_him and

It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: “him, ‘Please let us only touch the edge of your garment.’ And”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μόνον ἅψωνται

only ˱they˲_/may/_touch

Here, the word only indicates that these people think that, to be healed, they do not need to do anything more than touch Jesus’ garment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “all they might do is touch” or “they could just touch”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὅσοι ἥψαντο διεσώθησαν

as_many_as touched /were/_cured

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, 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, you could indicate that was God or Jesus himself. Alternate translation: “God healed as many as touched it” or “Jesus healed as many as touched it”
