Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
πρωΐ, σήμερον χειμών; πυρράζει γὰρ στυγνάζων ὁ οὐρανός
(prōi, saʸmeron ⱪeimōn; purrazei gar stugnazōn ho ouranos)
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [in early morning, you say that today will be stormy, for the sky is red, being overcast]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
πρωΐ, σήμερον
(prōi, saʸmeron)
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [in early morning, you say, ‘Today]
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
σήμερον χειμών; πυρράζει γὰρ στυγνάζων ὁ οὐρανός
(saʸmeron ⱪeimōn; purrazei gar stugnazōn ho ouranos)
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second clause gives the reason for the result that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: [The sky is red, being overcast, so today will be stormy]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὸ & πρόσωπον
(to & prosōpon)
Here Jesus speaks as if the sky had a face. He is referring to how the sky looks from the ground. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the appearance] or [the look]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τὰ δὲ σημεῖα τῶν καιρῶν οὐ δύνασθε
(ta de saʸmeia tōn kairōn ou dunasthe)
This clause could be: (1) a statement that rebukes the Pharisees and Sadducees. Alternate translation: [but you are not able to interpret the signs of the time.] (2) a rhetorical question that rebukes the Pharisees and the Sadducees. Alternate translation: [but are you not able to interpret the signs of the times?]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τὰ & σημεῖα τῶν καιρῶν
(ta & saʸmeia tōn kairōn)
Here, Jesus could be using the possessive form to describe signs that: (1) happen during the times. Alternate translation: [the signs that are happening during these times] (2) indicate that specific times have arrived. Alternate translation: [the signs that show that the times are here]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
οὐ δύνασθε
(ou dunasthe)
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [you are not able to interpret]
