OET interlinear MAT 8:27

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἱ & ἄνθρωποι

the & people

Here, the phrase the men refers to the disciples who are on the boat with Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the disciples”

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

λέγοντες

saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “and they said”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ποταπός ἐστιν οὗτος, ὅτι καὶ οἱ ἄνεμοι καὶ ἡ θάλασσα αὐτῷ ὑπακούουσιν?

what_kind_of_‹man› is this that both the winds and the sea ˱to˲_him /are/_submitting

If it would be helpful in your language, you could turn this into two sentences, one asking the question, and the other giving the reason for the question. Alternate translation: “What sort of man is he? Even the winds and the sea obey him!”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ποταπός ἐστιν οὗτος, ὅτι καὶ οἱ ἄνεμοι καὶ ἡ θάλασσα αὐτῷ ὑπακούουσιν

what_kind_of_‹man› is this that both the winds and the sea ˱to˲_him /are/_submitting

This is a genuine question, not a statement in question form. The disciples are looking for information about what kind of person Jesus could be if he can do these things. Alternate translation: “What sort of person is this man, for even the winds and the sea obey him”
