OET interlinear MAT 9:20

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

ἰδοὺ

behold

Here, the word behold draws the attention of the audience and asks them to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks the audience to listen, or you could draw the audience’s attention in another way. Alternate translation: “picture this” or “suddenly”

Note 2 topic: writing-participants

γυνὴ αἱμορροοῦσα δώδεκα ἔτη προσελθοῦσα ὄπισθεν, ἥψατο

/a/_woman hemorrhaging twelve years /having/_approached behind ˱she˲_touched

Here Matthew introduces this woman as a new character in the story. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a new character. Alternate translation: “there was a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for 12 years. She approached Jesus from behind and touched”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

αἱμορροοῦσα

hemorrhaging

Matthew uses the phrase a discharge of blood to refer discreetly to her condition or illness. She was probably experiencing menstrual bleeding at many times, even when it was not the normal time for that. If your language has a polite way of referring to this condition, you could use that expression here, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “suffering from abnormal menstruation” or “suffering from frequent menstrual bleeding”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

ἥψατο τοῦ κρασπέδου τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ

˱she˲_touched ˱against˲_the fringe ˱of˲_the garment ˱of˲_him

Here Matthew does not explain why she touched the edge of his cloak. Since Matthew does explain it in the next verse, you should not explain its meaning here.
