OET interlinear MAT 8:17

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὅπως πληρωθῇ

so_that /may_be/_fulfilled

Here, the phrase so that could introduce: (1) a result from Jesus casting out demons and healing people. Alternate translation: “with the result that would be fulfilled” (2) a purpose for which Jesus cast out demons and healed people. Alternate translation: “in order that might be fulfilled”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πληρωθῇ

/may_be/_fulfilled

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. Alternate translation: “this might fulfill”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸ ῥηθὲν

the_‹word› /having_been/_spoken

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 did the action, it is clear from the context that it was God. Alternate translation: “that which God spoke”

Note 4 topic: writing-quotations

λέγοντος

saying

In Matthew’s culture, saying was a normal way to introduce a quotation from an important text, in this case, the Old Testament book written by Isaiah the prophet (see Isaiah 53:4). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Matthew is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: “who wrote in his book” or “who declared”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

αὐτὸς τὰς ἀσθενείας ἡμῶν ἔλαβεν καὶ τὰς νόσους ἐβάστασεν

himself the sicknesses ˱of˲_us took and the diseases bore

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “He himself took our sicknesses; indeed, he bore our diseases”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

αὐτὸς τὰς ἀσθενείας ἡμῶν ἔλαβεν καὶ τὰς νόσους ἐβάστασεν

himself the sicknesses ˱of˲_us took and the diseases bore

Here Matthew could mean that Jesus: (1) removed sicknesses and healed diseases. Alternate translation: “He himself removed our sicknesses and healed our diseases” (2) became sick and diseased himself to deal with people’s sicknesses and diseases. Alternate translation: “He himself became sick in our place and became diseased in our place”
