Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

ἰδοὺ, λεπρὸς προσελθὼν, προσεκύνει

behold /a/_leper /having/_approached /was/_prostrating

Here Matthew introduces a leper as a new character in the story. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a new character. Alternate translation: “there was a man who was a leper. Approaching Jesus, he bowed before”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

ἰδοὺ

behold

Here, the word behold draws the attention of the audience and asks them to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks the audience to listen, or you could draw the audience’s attention in another way. Alternate translation: “picture this” or “suddenly”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτῷ

˱to˲_him

The pronoun him refers to Jesus. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use the person's name here. Alternate translation: “Jesus”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

δύνασαί με καθαρίσαι

˱you˲_/are/_being_able me /to/_cleanse

The man is using this statement to make a request. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in request form. Alternate translation: “please make me clean”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

με καθαρίσαι

me /to/_cleanse

The man talks about becoming clean ceremonially, but it is implicit that he has become unclean because of his leprosy, so he is primarily asking Jesus to heal him of this disease. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “to heal my disease”
