OET interlinear MAT 9:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces a slight contrast with the comparison in the previous verse. Jesus now shows that he will both forgive and heal the paralytic. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a slight contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “But now,” or “Leaving that aside,”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

ἵνα & εἰδῆτε ὅτι ἐξουσίαν ἔχει ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἀφιέναι ἁμαρτίας (τότε λέγει τῷ παραλυτικῷ), ἐγερθεὶς

in_order_that & ˱you_all˲_/may_have/_known that authority /is/_having the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man on the earth /to_be/_forgiving sins then ˱he˲_/is/_saying ˱to˲_the paralytic /having_been/_raised

Here, the phrase in order that introduces the purpose for which Jesus says to the paralytic the commands that he gives. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that provides the stated purpose for which a person performs an action. Alternate translation: “here is what I will do so that you might know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins.’ Then, he says to the paralytic, ‘Getting up”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ἔχει ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

/is/_having the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man

Here Jesus speaks about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person. Alternate translation: “I, the Son of Man, have”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐξουσίαν ἔχει

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of authority, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “has been authorized”
