18:5 υποπιαζη ¦ υπωπιαζη CT PCK TR

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).


TSNTyndale Study Notes:

18:5 driving me crazy: This colorful Greek expression literally means “striking the eye” or “giving me a black eye,” as in boxing. The sense is of wearing someone down through persistence.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

διά γε τὸ παρέχειν μοι κόπον τὴν χήραν ταύτην, ἐκδικήσω αὐτήν, ἵνα μὴ εἰς τέλος ἐρχομένη ὑπωπιάζῃ με

because_of surely ¬which /to_be/_bringing_about ˱to˲_me trouble ¬the widow this ˱I˲_/will_be/_avenging her in_order_that not to /the/_end coming ˱she˲_/may_be/_harassing me

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation (continuing the sentence from the previous verse): “because this widow bothered him, he would give a fair ruling in her case, so that she would not wear him out by coming incessantly”

παρέχειν μοι κόπον

/to_be/_bringing_about ˱to˲_me trouble

Alternate translation: “bothers me”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μὴ & ὑπωπιάζῃ με

not & ˱she˲_/may_be/_harassing me

The judge speaks of the wearying effect of the widow’s constant pleas as if they were physically pummeling him. Alternate translation: “she will not wear me out”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

εἰς τέλος ἐρχομένη

to /the/_end coming

The expression to the end is an idiom that means “perpetually” or “forever.” Alternate translation: “by coming to me incessantly”
