OET (OET-LV) And he_is_saying to_him:
I having_come, will_be_healing him.

OET (OET-RV) “I’ll come and heal him,” Yeshua answered.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:5–13: Jesus healed a Roman army officer’s servant

This section tells the story of a Roman officer who had greater faith than many Jews. This Gentile officer believed that Jesus had the power to heal his servant, even from a distance. Matthew used this story to show Jesus’ power. He also used this story to show that believing Gentiles would also be in the kingdom of God.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The faith of a centurion

A believing Roman army officer

A Roman officer shows he believes strongly in Jesus’ power

There is a parallel passage for this section in Luke 7:1–10.

8:7

“I will go and heal him,” Jesus replied.

I will go and heal him: Because Jesus offered to travel to the house of the centurion, it may be more natural to translate the verb go as “come.” Also, in some languages, it will be more natural to translate the verb heal as “make well.” For example:

I will go/come and make him well.

Jesus replied: This Greek phrase is literally “he said.” In some languages, it may be necessary to say to whom Jesus spoke. For example:

And he said to him. (ESV)

However, the context makes it clear that Jesus spoke to the centurion. Since the centurion is the only other person recently mentioned, it may be more natural in some languages to leave the phrase “to him” untranslated.

Since Jesus responded to the words of the centurion, it may be more natural in some languages to use replied or “answered” instead of “said,” as the BSB does. For example:

Jesus answered

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

λέγει αὐτῷ

˱he˲_˓is˒_saying ˱to˲_him

The pronoun he refers to Jesus, and the pronoun him refers to the centurion. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer directly to the people. Alternate translation: [Jesus says to the centurion]

Note 2 topic: translate-tense

λέγει

˱he˲_˓is˒_saying

To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: [he said]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐλθὼν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί λέγει αὐτῷ Ἐγώ ἐλθών θεραπεύσω αὐτόν)

Here Jesus implies that he will come to the centurion’s house. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [when I have come to your house]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐλθὼν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί λέγει αὐτῷ Ἐγώ ἐλθών θεραπεύσω αὐτόν)

In a context such as this, your language might say “gone” instead of come. Alternate translation: [when I have gone]
