Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἰδοὺ
behold
Luke uses the term behold to calls the reader’s attention to what he is about to say. Your language may have a similar expression that you can use here.
Note 2 topic: writing-participants
γυνὴ ἥτις ἦν ἐν τῇ πόλει
/a/_woman who was in the city
Luke uses this phrase to introduce a new character into the story. If your language has its own way of doing that, you could use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: “there was woman who lived in that city”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἁμαρτωλός
/a/_sinner
Luke is speaking from the perspective of the Pharisee when he says that the woman was a sinner. Since the Pharisee would likely not have known her personally, this is an implicit reference to her reputation. She may have been a prostitute, as UST suggests. Alternate translation: “who had a reputation for living a sinful life”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
κομίσασα
/having/_brought_back
In this culture, if people wanted to hear what someone’s special dinner guest had to say, they were allowed to come and stand around the walls of the banqueting hall and listen, even if they had not been invited to share in the meal. And so this woman was allowed to enter and listen to Jesus. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that specifically. Alternate translation: “she came into the banquet hall as a visitor, bringing”
Note 5 topic: translate-unknown
ἀλάβαστρον
/an/_alabaster_flask
The word alabaster is the name of a soft, white stone. People stored precious and valuable items in jars made from alabaster. Alternate translation: “a jar made of soft, white stone”
Note 6 topic: translate-unknown
μύρου
˱of˲_ointment
This oil had fragrant additives. To make a nice smell, people would rub the oil on themselves or sprinkle their clothing with it. Alternate translation: “that contained oil with perfume in it”
