OET interlinear MAT 16:22

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

λέγων

saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “and he said”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἵλεώς σοι

merciful_‹be› ˱to˲_you

Here, the phrase Merciful to you could mean: (1) that Jesus should not be thinking about or talking about what he has predicted will happen. Alternate translation: “Far be it from you” or “Stop saying those things” (2) that he believes that God will mercifully protect Jesus from what Jesus has predicted will happen. Alternate translation: “God will have mercy on you” or “May God be merciful to you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

(Occurrence -1) σοι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ προσλαβόμενος αὐτὸν ὁ Πέτρος ἤρξατο ἐπιτιμᾶν αὐτῷ λέγων ἵλεώς σοι Κύριε οὐ μὴ ἔσται σοι τοῦτο)

Since Peter is talking to Jesus, the word you throughout this verse is singular.

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

τοῦτο

this

The pronoun this refers to the things that Jesus had just spoken about what would happen to him. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to those things more directly. Alternate translation: “those things” or “what you have said”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐ μὴ

by_no_means not

The words translated certainly not are two negative words. In this construction, the second negative does not cancel the first to create a positive meaning. Instead, it gives greater emphasis to the negative. If your language can use two negatives that do not cancel one another to create a positive meaning, you could use a double negative here. If your language does not use two negatives in that way, you could translate with one strong negative, as the ULT does. Alternate translation: “by no means”
