OET interlinear MAT 1:2

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-names

Ἀβραὰμ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰσαάκ, Ἰσαὰκ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰακώβ, Ἰακὼβ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰούδαν καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ

Abraham bore ¬the Isaac Isaac and bore ¬the Jacob Jacob and bore ¬the Judah and the brothers ˱of˲_him

Here Matthew begins a list of Jesus’ ancestors. Consider how people normally list ancestors in your language. Use the same wording throughout the whole list (1:2–16). Possible formats are: (1) “Abraham’s son was Isaac, and Isaac’s son was Jacob, and Jacob’s sons were Judah and his brothers” (2) “Isaac’s father was Abraham, and Jacob’s father was Isaac, and Judah’s father was Jacob” (3) “Abraham fathered Isaac, who fathered Jacob, who fathered Judah and his brothers”

Ἀβραὰμ & τὸν Ἰσαάκ, Ἰσαὰκ & τὸν Ἰακώβ, Ἰακὼβ & τὸν Ἰούδαν

Abraham & ¬the Isaac Isaac & ¬the Jacob Jacob & ¬the Judah

Unless a note specifies otherwise, all the names in the list of ancestors (1:2–16) are names of men.

Note 3 topic: translate-kinship

τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ

the brothers ˱of˲_him

Judah had 11 brothers, and some of them were older and some of them were younger. Make sure this is clear if your language marks these distinctions.
