ἰδοὺ, γυνὴ Χαναναία ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων ἐκείνων ἐξελθοῦσα, ἔκραζεν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδού γυνή Χαναναία ἀπό τῶν ὁρίων ἐκείνων ἐξελθοῦσα ἔκραζεν λέγουσα Ἐλέησον μέ Κύριε Υἱός Δαυίδ ἡ θυγάτηρ μού κακῶς δαιμονίζεται)

Matthew introduces a Canaanite woman as a new character in the story. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a new character. Alternate translation: [behold, there was a woman who was a Canaanite. She came out from those regions to Jesus, and she was crying out]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰδοὺ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδού γυνή Χαναναία ἀπό τῶν ὁρίων ἐκείνων ἐξελθοῦσα ἔκραζεν λέγουσα Ἐλέησον μέ Κύριε Υἱός Δαυίδ ἡ θυγάτηρ μού κακῶς δαιμονίζεται)

The word behold draws the attention of the audience and asks them to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks the audience to listen, or you could draw the audience’s attention in another way. Alternate translation: [listen] or [suddenly]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων ἐκείνων ἐξελθοῦσα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδού γυνή Χαναναία ἀπό τῶν ὁρίων ἐκείνων ἐξελθοῦσα ἔκραζεν λέγουσα Ἐλέησον μέ Κύριε Υἱός Δαυίδ ἡ θυγάτηρ μού κακῶς δαιμονίζεται)

Matthew implies that the woman left her home and went to where Jesus was. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [having come out from her home in those regions to go to where Jesus was]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐξελθοῦσα

˓having˒_come_out

In a context such as this, your language might say “gone” instead of come. Alternate translation: [having gone out]

Here the woman asks Jesus to have mercy on her before she says why she needs help. If it would be helpful in your language, you could include why she needs help before she asks for mercy. Alternate translation: [Lord, my daughter is severely demon-possessed. Have mercy on me, Son of David!]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐλέησόν με

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδού γυνή Χαναναία ἀπό τῶν ὁρίων ἐκείνων ἐξελθοῦσα ἔκραζεν λέγουσα Ἐλέησον μέ Κύριε Υἱός Δαυίδ ἡ θυγάτηρ μού κακῶς δαιμονίζεται)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of mercy, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [Be merciful to me]

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδού γυνή Χαναναία ἀπό τῶν ὁρίων ἐκείνων ἐξελθοῦσα ἔκραζεν λέγουσα Ἐλέησον μέ Κύριε Υἱός Δαυίδ ἡ θυγάτηρ μού κακῶς δαιμονίζεται)

Here, the word Son means a male descendant. It does not mean that Jesus was the direct son of David. Express the idea as you did in [9:27](../09/27.md). Alternate translation: [Descendant of David] or [you who are descended from David]

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἡ θυγάτηρ μου κακῶς δαιμονίζεται

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: [A demon is severely possessing my daughter]
