OET interlinear MAT 27:4

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

λέγων

saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [and he said]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

αἷμα ἀθῷον

blood innocent

The word blood refers to a person who has or will soon die. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [a person who does not deserve to die] or [an innocent person who will now die]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί πρὸς ἡμᾶς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγων Ἥμαρτον παραδούς αἷμα ἀθῷον οἱ Δέ εἶπον Τί πρός ἡμάς Σύ ὄψῃ)

The chief priests and elders are using the question form to tell Judas that they do not care about how Judas feels or what he wants to do now. 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: [We do not care about how you feel.] or [That is completely unimportant to us!]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμᾶς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγων Ἥμαρτον παραδούς αἷμα ἀθῷον οἱ Δέ εἶπον Τί πρός ἡμάς Σύ ὄψῃ)

Here, us refers to the Jewish leaders who are speaking to Judas, so us would be exclusive. Your language may require you to mark this form.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

σὺ ὄψῃ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγων Ἥμαρτον παραδούς αἷμα ἀθῷον οἱ Δέ εἶπον Τί πρός ἡμάς Σύ ὄψῃ)

The phrase You will see means that the chief priests and elders claim that Judas is responsible for dealing with what he did, and they are not responsible. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [What you do is none of our business] or [That is your responsibility]
