OET interlinear MAT 16:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

οὐδὲ τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἄρτους τῶν τετρακισχιλίων, καὶ πόσας σπυρίδας ἐλάβετε?

nor the seven loaves ˱of˲_the four_thousand and how_many baskets ˱you_all˲_took

Jesus is using the question form to rebuke the disciples. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “Nor do you perceive or remember the seven loaves of the 4,000, and how many baskets you received!” or “I am also disappointed that you do not yet perceive nor remember the seven loaves of the 4,000, and how many baskets you received.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

οὐδὲ

nor

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous verse if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “Nor do you understand or remember”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἄρτους τῶν τετρακισχιλίων

the seven loaves ˱of˲_the four_thousand

Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to refer to the seven loaves that he used to feed the 4,000. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the seven loaves that fed the 4,000”

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

ἄρτους

loaves

See how you translated loaves in 14:17. Alternate translation: “large chunks of bread”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τῶν τετρακισχιλίων

˱of˲_the four_thousand

Matthew is using the number 4,000 as a noun to mean 4,000 men. Your language may use numbers in the same way. If not, you could translate this one with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “of the 4,000 men”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

σπυρίδας

baskets

Here Jesus implies that the baskets were full of leftover food. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “baskets full of leftovers”

Note 7 topic: translate-unknown

σπυρίδας

baskets

See how you translated baskets in 15:37. Alternate translation: “boxes” or “containers”
