OET interlinear MAT 5:42

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῷ αἰτοῦντί σε, δός

˱to˲_the_‹one› requesting you give

Here Jesus does not specify what the person is asking for or what should be given. He does this to include many things that a person might ask for. If it would be helpful in your language, you could include a generic or general object. Alternate translation: [Give to the one asking you for anything] or [When a person asks you for anything, give it to him or her]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

σε, δός & σοῦ & μὴ ἀποστραφῇς

you give & you & not ˱you˲_/may_be/_turned_away

Even though Jesus is speaking to many disciples, he is addressing an individual situation, so you is singular throughout this verse. But if the singular form would not be natural in your language for someone who was speaking to a group of people, you could use the plural form of you in your translation.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μὴ ἀποστραφῇς

not ˱you˲_/may_be/_turned_away

Here Jesus speaks of refusing to help someone as if it were turning away from that person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [do not refuse] or [do not reject]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

δανίσασθαι

/to/_borrow

Here, the word borrow usually indicates borrowing money. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [to borrow money]
