OET interlinear MAT 17:9

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go

καταβαινόντων αὐτῶν

coming_down them

In a context such as this, your language might say “going” instead of coming. Alternate translation: “as they were going down”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

λέγων, μηδενὶ εἴπητε τὸ ὅραμα, ἕως οὗ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῇ

saying ˱to˲_no_one ˱you_all˲_/may/_tell the vision until ˱of˲_which the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man from /the/_dead /may/_rise_up

It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: “saying that they should tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man has risen from the dead”

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

λέγων

saying

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

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

¬the the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man

Here Jesus speaks about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person. Alternate translation: “I, who am the Son of Man,”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῇ

from from /the/_dead /may/_rise_up

Here, the phrase risen from the dead refers to people who had died then coming back to life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “might have been restored to life” or “might have resurrected”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

νεκρῶν

/the/_dead

Jesus is using the adjective dead as a noun to mean people who are dead. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “the dead people” or “the corpses”
