OET interlinear MAT 24:42

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γρηγορεῖτε & ὅτι οὐκ οἴδατε ποίᾳ ἡμέρᾳ ὁ Κύριος ὑμῶν ἔρχεται

˓be˒_watching & because not ˱you_all˲_˓have˒_known ˱on˲_what day the Lord ˱of˲_you_all ˓is˒_coming

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 command in the first clause. Alternate translation: [since you do not know on what day your Lord will come, be alert]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ποίᾳ ἡμέρᾳ

˱on˲_what day

The word day refers to a specific moment in time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [at what hour] or [the time when]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ὁ Κύριος ὑμῶν

the Lord ˱of˲_you_all

Jesus speaks about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person. Alternate translation: [I, who am your Lord,]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔρχεται

˓is˒_coming

See how you translated “coming” in 24:37. Alternate translation: [will come back to this world] or [will, after leaving this world, come back]
