OET interlinear MAT 6:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

δὸς ἡμῖν

give ˱to˲_us

This is an imperative, but it should be translated as a polite request rather than as a command. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: “We ask that you give us”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον

the bread ˱of˲_us ¬the daily_needed

Here, the word daily means that the bread is the amount a person needs each day. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: “our bread for this day” or “the bread that we need today”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον

the bread ˱of˲_us ¬the daily_needed

Jesus refers to bread, one common food, to mean food in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “what we eat daily”
