δὲ
and
Here, 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 by the mother ˱of˲_her
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
Here Matthew implies that the woman’s mother, Herodias, had already told her what to ask for if Herod offered to do something for her. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “having been instructed ahead of time” or “having been told what to request ahead of time”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
δός μοι & ὧδε ἐπὶ πίνακι, τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ Βαπτιστοῦ
give ˱to˲_me & here on /a/_platter the head ˱of˲_John the Baptist
Here the woman implies that she wants Herod to have John killed by having his head cut off and brought to her. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. 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
give ˱to˲_me
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”
14:8 The practice of bringing a head . . . on a tray was not unknown in the ancient world (see Josephus, Antiquities 13.4.8; 14.15.13; 18.5.1; 20.5.1).
