OET interlinear MAT 9:24

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ἀναχωρεῖτε

/be/_withdrawing

Here, the command is in plural form because Jesus is speaking to the flute players and the crowd.

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word for introduces a reason why the flute players and the crowd should go away. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason for a command, or you could leave for untranslated. Alternate translation: “because”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ κοράσιον

the little_girl

Here, the word girl refers to a very young woman. We know from Mark and Luke that she was about 12 years old. Use a word or phrase in your language that refers to a girl who is about this age. Alternate translation: “the young girl”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἀλλὰ καθεύδει

but ˱she˲_/is/_sleeping

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “but she sleeps”
