OET interlinear MAT 26:50

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

and

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 / ellipsis

ἐφ’ ὃ πάρει

for what ˱you˲_/are/_coming

Here Jesus uses a very short clause that implies some information. The clause could be: (1) a rhetorical question. In this case, Jesus is rebuking Judas by asking him why he is present. Alternate translation: “for what purpose are you present?” (2) a command. In this case, Jesus is telling Judas to do what he came to do. Alternate translation: “do that for which you are present!” (3) a statement. In this case, Jesus is saying that he knows why Judas is present. Alternate translation: “I know for what purpose you are present.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ἐφ’ ὃ πάρει

for what ˱you˲_/are/_coming

Jesus is using the question form to rebuke Judas. 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: “you are present to do something wrong” or “you should not have come here to do this!”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

πάρει

˱you˲_/are/_coming

Since Jesus is talking to Judas, the word you here is singular.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

ἐπέβαλον τὰς χεῖρας ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰησοῦν, καὶ ἐκράτησαν αὐτόν

˱they˲_laid_on their hands on ¬the Jesus and ˱they˲_apprehended him

The clauses they laid hands on Jesus and seized him mean similar things. Matthew is using the two clauses together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single clause. Alternate translation: “they seized Jesus” or “they took hold of Jesus to arrest him”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐπέβαλον τὰς χεῖρας ἐπὶ

˱they˲_laid_on their hands on

Here, they laid hands on Jesus means that they grabbed and restrained Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they took hold of” or “they grabbed”
