OET interlinear MAT 26:54

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

πῶς οὖν πληρωθῶσιν αἱ Γραφαὶ, ὅτι οὕτως δεῖ γενέσθαι?

how therefore /may_be/_fulfilled the Scriptures that thus ˱it˲_/is/_fitting /to/_become

Jesus is using the question form to teach his disciple about why he is acting as he does. 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: “Then the scriptures would not be fulfilled, that it is necessary to happen in this way.” or “Then the scriptures would certainly not be fulfilled, that it is necessary to happen in this way!”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

πῶς οὖν

how therefore

Here, the word then introduces what the result would be if Jesus did what he said he could do in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces this kind of result. Alternate translation: “Were I to do that, then how”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πληρωθῶσιν αἱ Γραφαὶ

/may_be/_fulfilled the Scriptures

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. Alternate translation: “would I fulfill the scriptures”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὅτι οὕτως δεῖ γενέσθαι

that thus ˱it˲_/is/_fitting /to/_become

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “which indicate that it is necessary for things to happen in this way”
