OET interlinear MAT 28:20

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

πάντα ὅσα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: διδάσκοντες αὐτούς τηρεῖν παντᾶ ὅσα ἐνετειλάμην ὑμῖν Καί ἰδού ἐγώ μεθʼ ὑμῶν εἰμί πάσας τάς ἡμέρας ἕως τῆς συντελείας τοῦ αἰῶνος)

The expression everything, as much as contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: [all things that]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰδοὺ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: διδάσκοντες αὐτούς τηρεῖν παντᾶ ὅσα ἐνετειλάμην ὑμῖν Καί ἰδού ἐγώ μεθʼ ὑμῶν εἰμί πάσας τάς ἡμέρας ἕως τῆς συντελείας τοῦ αἰῶνος)

The word behold draws the attention of the disciples and asks them to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks the audience to listen, or you could draw the audience’s attention in another way. Alternate translation: [listen] or [never forget]

Note 3 topic: translate-tense

εἰμι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: διδάσκοντες αὐτούς τηρεῖν παντᾶ ὅσα ἐνετειλάμην ὑμῖν Καί ἰδού ἐγώ μεθʼ ὑμῶν εἰμί πάσας τάς ἡμέρας ἕως τῆς συντελείας τοῦ αἰῶνος)

Jesus is using the present tense to describe something that is true during the time period that he describes. Use whatever tense is natural in your language for referring to this time period. Alternate translation: [will continue to be]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας

all (Some words not found in SR-GNT: διδάσκοντες αὐτούς τηρεῖν παντᾶ ὅσα ἐνετειλάμην ὑμῖν Καί ἰδού ἐγώ μεθʼ ὑμῶν εἰμί πάσας τάς ἡμέρας ἕως τῆς συντελείας τοῦ αἰῶνος)

The phrase all the days indicates that something happens or is true every day, that is, always. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [always]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἕως τῆς συντελείας τοῦ αἰῶνος

until the completion ˱of˲_the age

The phrase the end of the age refers to when the current time period will cease and a new age will begin. If your language has a way to refer to the end of the way things are now, you could use it here, or you could use a descriptive phrase. Alternate translation: [until the end of the world] or [until the moment in the future when the current way of doing things will cease]

Note 6 topic: translate-textvariants

τοῦ αἰῶνος

˱of˲_the age

Many ancient manuscripts do not include anything after the word age. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts include the word “Amen” after Jesus ends his speech with the word age. If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.
