OET interlinear MAT 22:29

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

πλανᾶσθε, μὴ εἰδότες τὰς Γραφὰς, μηδὲ τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ Θεοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Πλανᾶσθε μή εἰδότες τάς Γραφάς μηδέ τήν δύναμιν τοῦ Θεοῦ)

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second clause gives the reason for the result that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: [Because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God, you are being led astray]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πλανᾶσθε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Πλανᾶσθε μή εἰδότες τάς Γραφάς μηδέ τήν δύναμιν τοῦ Θεοῦ)

Jesus is speaking as if the Sadducees have literally been led astray or directed down the wrong path. He means that they have been deceived. If it would be helpful for your readers, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [You are being deceived]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πλανᾶσθε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Πλανᾶσθε μή εἰδότες τάς Γραφάς μηδέ τήν δύναμιν τοῦ Θεοῦ)

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 does the action, it is clear from the context that it is they themselves. Alternate translation: [You are going astray] or [You are leading yourselves astray]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ Θεοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Πλανᾶσθε μή εἰδότες τάς Γραφάς μηδέ τήν δύναμιν τοῦ Θεοῦ)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of power, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the powerful things that God can do]
