OET interlinear MARK 10:15

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ὑμῖν

˱to˲_you_all

Because Jesus is speaking to his disciples, the word you here is plural.

ὃς ἂν μὴ δέξηται τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ ὡς παιδίον, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς αὐτήν

whoever ¬wishfully not /may/_receive the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God as /a/_little_child by_no_means not /may/_come_in into it

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the ideas in positive form. Alternate translation: “only whoever receives the kingdom of God as a little child will enter into it”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

ὡς παιδίον

as /a/_little_child

Jesus is saying that his disciples should be like a little child because little children are humble and thankfully receive gifts. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “as a little child receives things” or “with humility like that of a little child”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐ μὴ

by_no_means not

The words translated certainly not are two negative words. In this construction, the second negative does not cancel the first to create a positive meaning. Instead, it gives greater emphasis to the negative. If your language can use two negatives that do not cancel one another to create a positive meaning, you could use a double negative here. If your language does not use two negatives in that way, you could translate with one strong negative, as the ULT does. Alternate translation: “by no means”
