OET interlinear MAT 26:70

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ & ἠρνήσατο

he & disowned_‹him›

Here Matthew implies that Peter denied that he was with Jesus as his disciple. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “he denied that he was with Jesus”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πάντων

all

Matthew is using the adjective all as a noun to mean all the people who were there. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “all the people there”

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

λέγων

saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “and he declared”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

οὐκ οἶδα τί λέγεις

not ˱I˲_/have/_known what ˱you˲_/are/_saying

Here Peter means that servant girl’s words do not apply to him. He does not mean that he was unable to understand what the servant girl said. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “You are saying things that I know nothing about.” or “I have no idea what you are talking about!”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

λέγεις

˱you˲_/are/_saying

Since Peter is talking to the servant girl, the word you here is singular.
