OET interlinear MAT 24:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τότε

then

Here, just as in 24:9, the word then could introduce something that will happen: (1) during the events that Jesus has been describing. Alternate translation: “during that time,” (2) after the events that Jesus has been describing. Alternate translation: “after that time,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

σκανδαλισθήσονται πολλοὶ

/will_be_being/_stumbled many

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. Alternate translation: “many will stumble”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

σκανδαλισθήσονται πολλοὶ

/will_be_being/_stumbled many

Here, Jesus speaks of ceasing to believe in God as if it were stumbling. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “many will stop believing” or “many will cease trusting God”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πολλοὶ

many

Jesus is using the adjective many as a noun to mean many disciples or fellow believers. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “many disciples” or “many of my followers”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀλλήλους παραδώσουσιν

one_another ˱they˲_/will_be/_giving_over

Here, the phrase hand one another over refers to putting people under the authority and control of other people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will have the authorities seize one another” or “will cause one another to be arrested”
