OET interlinear MAT 26:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces how Jesus responded in contrast to how the disciples responded. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast. Alternate translation: “In contrast,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί κόπους παρέχετε τῇ γυναικί?

why troubles ˱you_all˲_/are/_bringing_about ˱to˲_the women

Jesus is using the question form to rebuke the disciples for saying these things about what the woman did. 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: “Do not cause trouble for the woman.” or “Stop causing trouble for the woman!”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

κόπους παρέχετε τῇ γυναικί & ἔργον & καλὸν

troubles ˱you_all˲_/are/_bringing_about ˱to˲_the women & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: γνοὺς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς τί κόπους παρέχετε τῇ γυναικί ἔργον γὰρ καλὸν ἠργάσατο εἰς ἐμέ)

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of trouble and work, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “are you troubling the woman … something good”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a reason why the disciples should not cause trouble for the woman. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis for a command, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “You should not do that, because” or “In fact,”
