OET interlinear MAT 26:24

uW Translation Notes:

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

ὁ μὲν Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ὑπάγει καθὼς γέγραπται περὶ αὐτοῦ, οὐαὶ δὲ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ἐκείνῳ δι’ οὗ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται

the on_one_hand Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man /is/_going as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written about him woe on_the_other_hand ˱to˲_the man that by whom the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man /is_being/_given_over

Here Jesus speaks 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 Son of Man, depart just as it has been written about me. But woe to that man through whom I am handed over”

Note 2 topic: translate-tense

ὑπάγει

/is/_going

Here Jesus uses the present tense to describe a future event. He does this to emphasize that the future event is sure to happen. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the future tense here and express the certainty in another way. Alternate translation: “will surely depart”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

ὑπάγει

/is/_going

Here, departs is a polite way to refer to dying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable polite way to refer to dying, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “passes away” or “dies”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καθὼς γέγραπται

as ˱it˲_/has_been/_written

Here Jesus implies that what has been written can be found in the Old Testament Scriptures. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “just as it has been written in the Scriptures”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

γέγραπται

˱it˲_/has_been/_written

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 the people who wrote the Scriptures. Alternate translation: “the prophets wrote” or “the Scriptures testify”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

δι’ οὗ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται

by whom the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man /is_being/_given_over

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “who hands over the Son of Man”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὐκ ἐγεννήθη ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος

not /was/_born ¬the man that

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 the man’s mother. Alternate translation: “that man’s mother had not given birth to him”
