OET interlinear MAT 25:34

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ὁ Βασιλεὺς & αὐτοῦ

the King & ˱of˲_him

Here Jesus continues to speak 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 the King, … my”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ Βασιλεὺς

the King

Here, the title the King describes the Son of Man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the Son of Man, who is the King,”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ, δεῦτε οἱ εὐλογημένοι τοῦ Πατρός μου, κληρονομήσατε τὴν ἡτοιμασμένην ὑμῖν βασιλείαν ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου & ἐπείνασα γὰρ καὶ ἐδώκατέ μοι φαγεῖν, ἐδίψησα καὶ ἐποτίσατέ με, ξένος ἤμην καὶ συνηγάγετέ με & γυμνὸς καὶ περιεβάλετέ με, ἠσθένησα καὶ ἐπεσκέψασθέ με, ἐν φυλακῇ ἤμην καὶ ἤλθατε πρός με

on /the/_right ˱of˲_him come you_all /having_been/_blessed ˱of˲_the Father ˱of˲_me inherit the /having_been/_prepared ˱for˲_you_all kingdom from /the/_foundation ˱of˲_/the/_world (Some words not found in SR-GNT: τότε ἐρεῖ ὁ Βασιλεὺς τοῖς ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ δεῦτε οἱ εὐλογημένοι τοῦ Πατρός μου κληρονομήσατε τὴν ἡτοιμασμένην ὑμῖν βασιλείαν ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου)

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “at his right that they, who had been blessed by his Father, should come and inherit the kingdom prepared for them from the foundation of the world. He said that this was because he was hungry, and they gave him to eat; he was thirsty, and they gave him to drink; he was a stranger, and they gathered together with him; he was naked, and they clothed him; he was sick, and they cared for him; he was in prison, and they came to him”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ

/the/_right ˱of˲_him

See how you translated his right in 25:33. Alternate translation: “his right side”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / go

δεῦτε

come

In a context such as this, your language might say “Go” instead of Come. Alternate translation: “Go”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οἱ εὐλογημένοι τοῦ Πατρός μου

you_all /having_been/_blessed ˱of˲_the Father ˱of˲_me

If your language does not use this passive form, you can state this in active form. Alternate translation: “the ones my Father has blessed”

Note 7 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

τοῦ Πατρός μου

˱of˲_the Father ˱of˲_me

Father is an important title that describe the relationship between God the Father and Jesus his Son.

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

κληρονομήσατε

inherit

Here the King speaks as if the people on his right were children who would receive property from a relative. He speaks in this way to indicate that these people will receive the kingdom. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “receive” or “you are being given”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἡτοιμασμένην ὑμῖν

/having_been/_prepared ˱for˲_you_all

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. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was God. Alternate translation: “that God has prepared for you”
