OET interlinear MAT 6:14

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a further explanation of what Jesus said about forgiveness in 6:12. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “You should pray in that way because” or “Indeed,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τοῖς ἀνθρώποις

¬the ˱to˲_people

Although the term men is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “men and women”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὰ παραπτώματα αὐτῶν

the transgressions ˱of˲_them

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of trespasses, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “when they trespass”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ Πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ οὐράνιος

the Father ˱of˲_you_all ¬the heavenly

This is a figurative expression. God is not the Father of humans in the same actual way that he is the Father of Jesus. Even so, it would probably be best to translate Father with the same word that your language would naturally use to refer to a human father. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that this means God. Alternate translation: “God your heavenly Father”
