OET interlinear MAT 19:27

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

ἰδοὺ

behold

Here, the word behold is intended to draw the attention of Jesus and to ask him to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks someone to listen or pay attention. Alternate translation: “Listen” or “Excuse me”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμεῖς & ἡμῖν

we & ˱to˲_us

By we and us, Peter means himself and the disciples but not Jesus, so use the exclusive forms of those words in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἠκολουθήσαμέν σοι

followed ˱after˲_you

Here, the phrase followed you indicates that the disciples traveled with Jesus and were his disciple. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “become your disciples” or “traveled with you as your students”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

σοι

˱after˲_you

Here, the word you is singular because Peter is speaking to Jesus.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τί ἄρα ἔσται ἡμῖν

what consequently will_be ˱to˲_us

Here Peter is asking what he and his fellow disciples will receive because they left everything. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “What then will we receive” or “What reward then will there be for us”

Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

τί ἄρα

what consequently

Here, the word then indicates that Peter is asking this question in response to what he just said. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Since we did that, what” or “Given what we did, what”
