OET interlinear MAT 22:26

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὁ δεύτερος, καὶ ὁ τρίτος, ἕως τῶν ἑπτά,

the second and the third to the seven

The Sadducees are leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous verse if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “Likewise also, the second and the third died without having seed and left her to a brother, until the seven had done so”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ὁ δεύτερος & ὁ τρίτος & τῶν ἑπτά

the second & the third & the seven

The Sadducees are using the numbers second, third, and seven as nouns to mean various brothers. Your language may use numbers in the same way. If not, you could translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “the second brother … the third brother … the seven brothers”

Note 3 topic: translate-ordinal

ὁ δεύτερος & ὁ τρίτος

the second & the third

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use cardinal numbers here or equivalent expressions. Alternate translation: “brother number two … brother number three”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἕως τῶν ἑπτά,

to the seven

Here the Sadducees imply that all seven brothers had married the woman and died without having children. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “until this had happened to all seven”
