OET interlinear MAT 22:31

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

περὶ δὲ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τῶν νεκρῶν, οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε

concerning but the resurrection ˱of˲_the dead not ˱you_all˲_read

Here, the phrase But concerning introduces the next topic that Jesus wants to talk about. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next topic. Alternate translation: “Next, I will talk about the resurrection of the dead. Have you not read”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῆς ἀναστάσεως τῶν νεκρῶν

the resurrection ˱of˲_the dead

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of resurrection, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “when the dead resurrect”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τῶν νεκρῶν

˱of˲_the dead

Jesus is using the adjective dead as a noun in order to refer to people who are dead. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: “of the dead people” or “of the corpses”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸ ῥηθὲν ὑμῖν ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ

the_‹word› /having_been/_spoken ˱to˲_you_all by ¬the God

If your language does not use this passive form, you can state this in active form. Alternate translation: “what God spoke to you”

Note 5 topic: writing-quotations

ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ λέγοντος

by ¬the God saying

Here, Jesus introduces a quotation from an important text, in this case, the Old Testament book of Exodus (see Exodus 3:6). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Jesus is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: “by God in the book of Exodus” or “by God in the Scriptures when he said”
