OET interlinear MAT 6:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου, γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου

˓let˒_come the kingdom (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία Σοῦ γενηθήτω τό θέλημα σοῦ ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καί ἐπί γῆς)

If your language does not use the third-person imperative in this way, you could state this in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [we want your kingdom to come, we want your will to be done] or [we pray that your kingdom comes, we pray that your will is done]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου

˓let˒_come the kingdom (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία Σοῦ γενηθήτω τό θέλημα σοῦ ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καί ἐπί γῆς)

Here Jesus speaks as if God’s kingdom were a person who could come. He means that disciples should pray for God to establish or begin his kingdom. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Let your kingdom grow] or [Let your kingdom begin]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

(Occurrence -1) σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία Σοῦ γενηθήτω τό θέλημα σοῦ ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καί ἐπί γῆς)

Since Jesus is praying to God the Father, the word your here is singular.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου

˓let_be˒_become (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία Σοῦ γενηθήτω τό θέλημα σοῦ ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καί ἐπί γῆς)

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: [let all people do your will] or [let your will take place]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὸ θέλημά σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία Σοῦ γενηθήτω τό θέλημα σοῦ ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καί ἐπί γῆς)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of will, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [what you desire]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς

as in heaven (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία Σοῦ γενηθήτω τό θέλημα σοῦ ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καί ἐπί γῆς)

Here Jesus implies that God’s will is always done in heaven, and believers should pray that this will also be true on earth. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [on earth, just as it already is done in heaven]
