OET interlinear MAT 20:13

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces what the master of the house said in contrast with what the workers were saying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “In response,” or “In contrast,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

ἑνὶ αὐτῶν εἶπεν, ἑταῖρε, οὐκ ἀδικῶ σε. οὐχὶ δηναρίου συνεφώνησάς μοι?

˱to˲_one ˱of˲_them said friend not ˱I˲_/am/_doing_wrong ˱to˲_you not ˱for˲_/a/_denarius ˱you˲_agreed_together ˱with˲_me

Alternate translation: “called one of them friend and said to him that he was not wronging him and that he agreed with him for a denarius.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

σε. οὐχὶ & συνεφώνησάς

˱to˲_you not & ˱you˲_agreed_together

Because the master of the house is speaking to one of the workers, the word you throughout this verse is singular.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

οὐχὶ δηναρίου συνεφώνησάς μοι

not ˱for˲_/a/_denarius ˱you˲_agreed_together ˱with˲_me

The master of the house is using the question form to remind the worker what he agreed to do. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “You remember that you agreed with me for a denarius” or “You certainly agreed with me for a denarius!”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

δηναρίου & μοι

˱for˲_/a/_denarius & ˱with˲_me

Here the master of the house implies that the worker agreed to work for a denarius. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “me to work for a denarius”
