OET interlinear MAT 18:34

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ

the master ˱of˲_him

Here Jesus again refers to the king as the master. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make it more explicit that this is the same man as the one referred to as “king” in 18:23. See how you translated “master” in 18:25. Alternate translation: [his master the king]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

παρέδωκεν αὐτὸν

gave_over him

Here, the phrase handed him over refers to putting someone under the authority and control of other people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [sent him] or [gave him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῖς βασανισταῖς

˱to˲_the tormentors

Here Jesus could be referring to: (1) prison guards whose job it was to torture certain prisoners. Alternate translation: [to the guards who tortured prisoners] (2) prison guards in general. Alternate translation: [to the jailers] or [to the prison guards]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πᾶν τὸ ὀφειλόμενον

everything ¬which /being/_owed

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. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was the fellow slave. Alternate translation: [everything that he owed]
