OET interlinear MAT 23:12

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

and

Here, the word But introduces the next thing that Jesus wants to say. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next thing, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “Indeed,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ταπεινωθήσεται

/will_be_being/_humbled

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who will do the action, Jesus implies that God will do it. Alternate translation: “God will humble”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

(Occurrence -1) ἑαυτὸν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅστις δὲ ὑψώσει ἑαυτὸν ταπεινωθήσεται καὶ ὅστις ταπεινώσει ἑαυτὸν ὑψωθήσεται)

Although the term himself is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “himself or herself … himself or herself”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὑψωθήσεται

/will_be_being/_exalted

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who will do the action, Jesus implies that God will do it. Alternate translation: “God will exalt”
