OET interlinear MAT 21:15

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces how the chief priests and the scribes reacted in contrast with how most of the people reacted. 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 contrast,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ

in the temple

Here Matthew means that the children were in the temple area. He does not mean that they were in the most sacred parts of the temple building. See how you expressed the idea in 21:12. Alternate translation: “in the temple courtyard”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

λέγοντας, ὡσαννὰ τῷ Υἱῷ Δαυείδ

saying Hosanna ˱to˲_the Son (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς τὰ θαυμάσια ἃ ἐποίησεν καὶ τοὺς παῖδας τοὺς κράζοντας ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ καὶ λέγοντας ὡσαννὰ τῷ Υἱῷ Δαυίδ ἠγανάκτησαν)

It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: “giving hosannas to the Son of David,”

Note 4 topic: translate-transliterate

ὡσαννὰ

Hosanna

See how you translated Hosanna in 21:9. Alternate translation: “Honor”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῷ Υἱῷ Δαυείδ

the ˱to˲_the Son (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς τὰ θαυμάσια ἃ ἐποίησεν καὶ τοὺς παῖδας τοὺς κράζοντας ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ καὶ λέγοντας ὡσαννὰ τῷ Υἱῷ Δαυίδ ἠγανάκτησαν)

See how you translated the phrase Son of David in 21:9. Alternate translation: “to the Descendant of David” or “to the one who is descended from David”
