OET interlinear MAT 2:3

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

and

Here, the word But introduces the next major event in the story. 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 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

πᾶσα Ἱεροσόλυμα μετ’ αὐτοῦ

all Jerusalem with him

Matthew is 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 sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [all Jerusalem became troubled with him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

πᾶσα Ἱεροσόλυμα

all Jerusalem

Here, Jerusalem refers to the people who live in Jerusalem. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [all the people in Jerusalem]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πᾶσα

all

Matthew says all here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [most of] or [the majority of]
