OET interlinear MAT 20:19

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῖς ἔθνεσιν

˱to˲_the pagans

Here Jesus is speaking specifically of Gentiles who rule or control the the city of Jerusalem. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “to the Gentiles who rule” or “to the Gentiles who are in charge”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ

˱on˲_the third day

Here, the phrase on the third day refers to the day after tomorrow. People in Jesus’ culture counted the current day as the first day, tomorrow as the second day, and the day after tomorrow as the third day. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to the day after tomorrow. See how you translated this phrase in 17:23. Alternate translation: “on the day after the next day” or “two days later”

Note 3 topic: translate-ordinal

τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ

˱on˲_the third day

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you could use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “on day three”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀναστήσεται

˱he˲_/will_be/_rising_up

Here, the word raised refers to someone who died coming back to life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable word or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he will be restored to life”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀναστήσεται

˱he˲_/will_be/_rising_up

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. If you need to say who will do the action, Jesus could be implying that: (1) God will do it. Alternate translation: “God will raise him up” (2) Jesus himself will do it. Alternate translation: “he will raise himself up”
