OET interlinear MAT 25:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

but

Here, 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 / quotesinquotes

κραυγὴ γέγονεν, ἰδοὺ, ὁ νυμφίος! ἐξέρχεσθε εἰς ἀπάντησιν

/a/_clamor /has/_become behold the bridegroom /be/_coming_out to /the/_meeting

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “there was a cry that the bridegroom was there and that they should go out to the meeting”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

ἰδοὺ

behold

Here, the word Behold draws the attention of the ten virgins and asks them 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 / go

ἐξέρχεσθε

/be/_coming_out

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

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰς ἀπάντησιν

to /the/_meeting

Here the person saying these words implies that the ten virgins are supposed to meet and escort the bridegroom to the wedding celebration. See you expressed the similar idea in 25:1. Alternate translation: “to meet him and bring him to the wedding feast”
