OET (OET-LV) And which having_been_urged_on by the mother of_her:
Give to_me, she_is_saying:

OET (OET-RV) The young woman was urged on by her mother to tell Herod that she wanted Yohan-the-immerser’s head on a plate.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 14:1–12: The story about how John the Baptist died

In this section, Matthew wrote how John the Baptist was killed. This section can be difficult to translate because the events are not in chronological order.

Verses 1–2 refer to events that happened after John the Baptist died. But verses 3–12 refer back to events that had happened before John the Baptist died, and they include the story of his death. You will need to clearly indicate the change in time at 14:3.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The Death of John the Baptist (GNT)

John the Baptist Beheaded (NASB)

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 6:14–29 and Luke 9:7–9.

14:8a

Prompted by her mother, she said,

Prompted by her mother: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Prompted means that her mother, Herodias, urged/encouraged her daughter what to say to Herod.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

the girl’s mother told her to say (CEV)

Herodias told her daughter what to ask for (NCV)

The parallel passage in Mark 6:24 tells us that the daughter left the room of men and went to ask her mother what to do. In some languages, it may be natural to make some of this information explicit. For example:

She asked her mother, and her mother told her to say

14:8b

“Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”

Give me here…the head of John the Baptist: This clause implies that the daughter asked Herod to kill John by cutting off his head. Cutting off the head was a common method of killing someone in Roman culture.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

I want the head of John the Baptist (NLT)

Bring to me here the head of John the baptizer

on a platter: The word platter refers to a large flat plate usually used for carrying food. But here the platter was only a way to carry the head. It does not imply serving the head as food.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

on a tray (NLT)

on a plate

If the purpose of bringing the head on a platter is not clear in your area, you may want to explain in a footnote. Here is a sample footnote:

Cutting off the head was a common way to kill someone in Roman culture. Herodias wanted the head on a platter so she could see that John had been killed. The head would then be thrown away.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἡ Δέ προβιβασθεῖσα ὑπό τῆς μητρός αὐτῆς Δός μοί φησίν Ὧδε ἐπί πίνακι τήν κεφαλήν Ἰωάννου τοῦ Βαπτιστοῦ)

The word Now introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: [Then]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

προβιβασθεῖσα ὑπὸ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτῆς

˓having_been˒_urged_on (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἡ Δέ προβιβασθεῖσα ὑπό τῆς μητρός αὐτῆς Δός μοί φησίν Ὧδε ἐπί πίνακι τήν κεφαλήν Ἰωάννου τοῦ Βαπτιστοῦ)

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. Alternate translation: [her mother having urged her beforehand]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

προβιβασθεῖσα

˓having_been˒_urged_on

Matthew implies that the woman’s mother, Herodias, had already told her what to ask for if Herod offered to do something for her. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [having been instructed ahead of time] or [having been advised in advance]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

δός μοι & ὧδε ἐπὶ πίνακι, τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ Βαπτιστοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἡ Δέ προβιβασθεῖσα ὑπό τῆς μητρός αὐτῆς Δός μοί φησίν Ὧδε ἐπί πίνακι τήν κεφαλήν Ἰωάννου τοῦ Βαπτιστοῦ)

The woman implies that she wants Herod to have John killed by having his head cut off and brought to her. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Have one of your soldiers behead John the Baptist and then give me his head here, on a platter]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

δός μοι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἡ Δέ προβιβασθεῖσα ὑπό τῆς μητρός αὐτῆς Δός μοί φησίν Ὧδε ἐπί πίνακι τήν κεφαλήν Ἰωάννου τοῦ Βαπτιστοῦ)

This is an imperative, but it communicates a request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a request. Alternate translation: [I ask that you give me]

Note 6 topic: translate-unknown

πίνακι

˓a˒_platter

A platter is a large, flat serving dish. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of dish, you could use the name of something similar in your area, or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [a tray] or [a large serving plate]
