OET interlinear MAT 27:21

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: “After that,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀποκριθεὶς

answering

Here Pilate is answering or responding to a situation, not to something that someone has asked. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make it more explicit that Pilate is responding to what is happening among the crowds, or you could leave answering untranslated. Alternate translation: “seeing that the crowds were discussing what to do” or “responding to what the crowd was doing”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τῶν δύο

the two

Here Pilate uses the number two as a noun in order to refer to the two men, Jesus and Barabbas. Your language may use numbers in the same way. If not, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: “the two prisoners”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

θέλετε & ὑμῖν

˱you_all˲_/are/_wanting & ˱to˲_you_all

Since Pilate is speaking to a crowd of people, the word you throughout this verse is plural.

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

(Occurrence 2) 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 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

τὸν Βαραββᾶν

¬the Barabbas

The crowds are leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the verse if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “We want you to release Barabbas”
