OET interlinear MAT 25:26

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Πονηρέ δοῦλε καί ὀκνηρέ ᾜδεις ὅτι θερίζω ὅπου οὐκ ἔσπειρα καί συνάγω ὅθεν οὒ διεσκόρπισα)

The word But introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [Then]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ᾔδεις ὅτι θερίζω ὅπου οὐκ ἔσπειρα, καὶ συνάγω ὅθεν οὐ διεσκόρπισα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Πονηρέ δοῦλε καί ὀκνηρέ ᾜδεις ὅτι θερίζω ὅπου οὐκ ἔσπειρα καί συνάγω ὅθεν οὒ διεσκόρπισα)

The master is not asking his slave to verify what he just said. Rather, he is using the question form to challenge the slave. He is repeating what the slave said about him, but not to grant that it is true. Rather, he is about to tell the slave what he should have done if it actually had been true. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [You claim that you knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter.] or [So you knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ᾔδεις

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Πονηρέ δοῦλε καί ὀκνηρέ ᾜδεις ὅτι θερίζω ὅπου οὐκ ἔσπειρα καί συνάγω ὅθεν οὒ διεσκόρπισα)

Since the master is speaking to his slave, the word You here is singular.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

θερίζω ὅπου οὐκ ἔσπειρα, καὶ συνάγω ὅθεν οὐ διεσκόρπισα

˱I˲_˓am˒_reaping where not ˱I˲_sowed (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Πονηρέ δοῦλε καί ὀκνηρέ ᾜδεις ὅτι θερίζω ὅπου οὐκ ἔσπειρα καί συνάγω ὅθεν οὒ διεσκόρπισα)

The master repeats what the slave said about him in 25:24. Express the idea as you did there.
