OET interlinear MAT 6:5

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / you

προσεύχῃ, οὐκ ἔσεσθε

˱you˲_˓may_be˒_praying not ˱you_all˲_will_be

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

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

φιλοῦσιν & ἑστῶτες προσεύχεσθαι

˱they˲_˓are˒_loving & ˓having˒_stood ˓to_be˒_praying

Here Jesus that they love to pray in public places, not simply that they love to pray in general. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [they love to pray publicly, for example standing]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς γωνίαις τῶν πλατειῶν

in the synagogues on the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ὅταν προσεύχῃ οὐκ ἔσεσθε ὡς οἱ ὑποκριταί ὅτι φιλοῦσιν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καί ἐν ταῖς γωνίαις τῶν πλατειῶν ἑστῶτες προσεύχεσθαι ὅπως φανῶσιν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις Ἀμήν λέγω ὑμῖν ἀπέχουσι τόν μισθόν αὐτῶν)

These locations were public places where many people would hear the prayers. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [in public areas like synagogues and the corners of the streets]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

φανῶσιν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις

˱they˲_˓may_be˒_seen ˱by˲_the people

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [men may see them]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

φανῶσιν

˱they˲_˓may_be˒_seen

Here Jesus implies not only that these people want to be seen but also that they want to be honored or praised. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [they may be seen and honored] or [they may be seen and praised]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τοῖς ἀνθρώποις

˱by˲_the 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] or [people]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀπέχουσι τὸν μισθὸν αὐτῶν

˱they˲_˓are˒_receiving_fully (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ὅταν προσεύχῃ οὐκ ἔσεσθε ὡς οἱ ὑποκριταί ὅτι φιλοῦσιν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καί ἐν ταῖς γωνίαις τῶν πλατειῶν ἑστῶτες προσεύχεσθαι ὅπως φανῶσιν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις Ἀμήν λέγω ὑμῖν ἀπέχουσι τόν μισθόν αὐτῶν)

Here Jesus means that they have received their entire reward from men, and God will not reward them any further. See how you translated this clause in [6:2](../06/02.md). Alternate translation: [they have already received all the reward they will get] or [God will not give them any reward beyond that]
