OET interlinear MAT 9:25

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces a contrast between how the crowd laughed at Jesus and what Jesus himself does. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “However,” or “Nevertheless,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐξεβλήθη ὁ ὄχλος

/was/_cast_out the crowd

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, Matthew implies that Jesus made the crowd leave. Alternate translation: “Jesus had put the crowd outside” or “the crowd went outside”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰσελθὼν

/having/_come_in

Here Matthew implies that Jesus entered the room or place where the dead girl was. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “having entered the girl’s room” or “having entered the place where the dead girl lay”

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐκράτησεν τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς

˱he˲_took_hold ˱of˲_the hand ˱of˲_her

The pronoun he refers to Jesus, and the pronoun her refers to the girl who had died. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use the people’s names here. Alternate translation: “Jesus took the girl’s hand”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἠγέρθη

/was/_raised

Here, the phrase raised up indicates both that the girl came back to life and that she stood up. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “came back to life and got up”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἠγέρθη τὸ κοράσιον

/was/_raised the little_girl

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. Matthew implies that Jesus raised her from the dead, but the girl herself got up from where she was lying. Alternate translation: “Jesus raised the girl up” or “the girl got up”
