OET interlinear MAT 1:22

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

and

Here, the word Now introduces Matthew’s comment on what he has narrated so far. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a comment from the narrator, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: “I note that” or “As a matter of fact,”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

τοῦτο & ὅλον γέγονεν

this & all /has/_become

The pronoun this refers to what Matthew has said about Mary becoming pregnant before she and Joseph were married (see 1:18–21). If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer more directly to these events. Alternate translation: “Jesus was born in that way” or “what I have told you happened”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πληρωθῇ

/may_be/_fulfilled

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. Alternate translation: “it might fulfill”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸ ῥηθὲν ὑπὸ Κυρίου

the_‹thing› /having_been/_spoken by /the/_Lord

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. Alternate translation: “what the Lord spoke”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῦ προφήτου

the prophet

The prophet to whom Matthew refers is Isaiah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Isaiah the prophet”

Note 6 topic: writing-quotations

λέγοντος

saying

In Matthew’s culture, saying was a normal way to introduce a quotation from an important text, in this case, the Old Testament book written by Isaiah the prophet (see Isaiah 7:14). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Matthew is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: “who wrote in the book of Isaiah” or “who declared”
