OET interlinear MAT 1:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-names

Ἰωσίας δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰεχονίαν καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ

Josiah and bore ¬the Jechonias and the brothers ˱of˲_him

This is a continuation of the list of Jesus’ ancestors that began in 1:2. Use the same format as you used in the previous verses.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Ἰωσίας & ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰεχονίαν

Josiah & bore ¬the Jechonias

In 1 Chronicles 3:15–16, Josiah is listed as the father of Jehoiakim, who is the father of Jechoniah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could clarify that Josiah was the grandfather of Jechoniah. Alternate translation: “Josiah fathered the father of Jechoniah”

Note 3 topic: translate-kinship

τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ

the brothers ˱of˲_him

If you must specify whether these brothers were older or younger, it is more likely that they were younger brothers. Alternate translation: “his younger brothers”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐπὶ τῆς μετοικεσίας Βαβυλῶνος

during the deportation ˱to˲_Babylon

Here Matthew refers to how the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem and took most of the people away to the country of Babylon. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that makes this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “when the Babylonians captured Jerusalem and took many people away”
