OET interlinear MAT 8:3

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα, ἥψατο αὐτοῦ

˓having˒_stretched_out (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐκτείνας τήν χεῖρα ἥψατο αὐτοῦ λέγων Θέλω καθαρίσθητι Καί εὐθέως ἐκαθαρίσθη αὐτοῦ ἡ λέπρα)

The pronouns his and he refer to Jesus. The pronoun him refers to the leper. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use the people’s names here. Alternate translation: [having reached out his hand, Jesus touched the leper]

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

λέγων

saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [and he declared]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

θέλω

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐκτείνας τήν χεῖρα ἥψατο αὐτοῦ λέγων Θέλω καθαρίσθητι Καί εὐθέως ἐκαθαρίσθη αὐτοῦ ἡ λέπρα)

Here Jesus implies that he is willing to cleanse or heal the man. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [I am willing to cleanse you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐκαθαρίσθη αὐτοῦ ἡ λέπρα

˓was˒_cleansed ˱of˲_him ¬the ˱of˲_leprosy

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 Jesus. Alternate translation: [he was clean, with no leprosy] or [Jesus cleansed him of his leprosy]
