OET interlinear MAT 19:16

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰδοὺ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδού εἱς προσελθών αὐτῷ εἶπεν Διδάσκαλε τί ἀγαθόν ποιήσω ἵνα σχῶ ζωήν αἰώνιον)

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: [take note] or [then]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

εἷς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἰδού εἱς προσελθών αὐτῷ εἶπεν Διδάσκαλε τί ἀγαθόν ποιήσω ἵνα σχῶ ζωήν αἰώνιον)

Matthew is using the number one as a noun to mean one person. Your language may use numbers in the same way. If not, you could translate this one with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [one man]

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of life, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [I might live eternally]
