Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
γὰρ
for
Here, the word For introduces a further explanation about why what the woman did was a “good work.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces further explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “In fact,” or “Further,”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
τὸ μύρον
¬the ˱on˲_ointment
See how you translated perfumed oil in 26:7. Alternate translation: “oil with perfume in it”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
πρὸς τὸ ἐνταφιάσαι με
for that /to/_bury me
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of burial, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “to prepare me to be buried”
26:12 to prepare my body for burial: It is not clear whether the woman fully understood the significance of her actions. In addition to preparation for burial, the anointing also speaks of Jesus as king (1 Sam 10:1; 2 Kgs 9:6) and priest (Exod 29:7).
OET (OET-LV) For/Because this woman, having_put the on_ this _ointment on the body of_me, because/for did it that to_bury me.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
