OET interlinear MAT 25:25

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔκρυψα τὸ τάλαντόν σου ἐν τῇ γῇ

˱I˲_hid the talent ˱of˲_you in the ground

Here the servant implies that he dug a hole in the ground, put the talent there, and then covered it up to keep the money safe. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. See how you expressed the similar idea in 25:18. Alternate translation: “I dug a hiding place in the ground and stored the talent there to protect it”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

σου & ἔχεις τὸ σόν

˱of˲_you & ˱you˲_/are/_having ¬the your_‹own›

Since the slave is talking to his master, the words your, you, and yours are singular.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

ἴδε

behold

Here, the word Behold draws the attention of the master and asks him to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express Behold with a word or phrase that asks people to listen, or you could use a different form that draws people’s attention. Alternate translation: “Look” or “Listen”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔχεις τὸ σόν

˱you˲_/are/_having ¬the your_‹own›

Here, the slave means that he is returning the one talent to his master. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “I am returning to you what is yours”
