UTN uW Translation Notes:
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
καὶ
and
Luke uses And to introduce the results of what the previous sentence described. When the blind man learned that Jesus was walking by, he knew that Jesus would hear him if he called out, so as a result, he shouted to him. Alternate translation: [So]
ἐβόησεν
˱he˲_shouted
Alternate translation: [he called out] or [he shouted]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
Υἱὲ Δαυείδ
Son (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἐβόησεν λέγων Ἰησοῦ Υἱὲ Δαυίδ ἐλέησόν με)
The blind man is using the word Son to mean “descendant.” Alternate translation: [Descendant of David]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
Υἱὲ Δαυείδ
Son (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἐβόησεν λέγων Ἰησοῦ Υἱὲ Δαυίδ ἐλέησόν με)
David was Israel’s most important king, and God had promised him that one of his descendants would be the Messiah. So the title Son of David implicitly meant “Messiah.” Alternate translation: [Messiah]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
ἐλέησόν με
show_mercy ˱to˲_me
This is an imperative, but it should be translated as a polite request rather than as a command. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [please be merciful to me]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐλέησόν με
show_mercy ˱to˲_me
The blind man assumes that Jesus will know that he is asking specifically to be healed. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [please have mercy on me and heal me] or [please be merciful to me by healing me]
