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. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a reason why the woman touched the edge of Jesus’ garment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason for an action, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: [since] or [which she did because]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἔλεγεν & ἐν ἑαυτῇ

˱she˲_/was/_saying & in herself

Here, the clause she was saying in herself indicates that she was thinking the words, not saying them out loud. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to thinking or speaking only to oneself. Alternate translation: [she was saying to herself] or [she was thinking to herself]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

ἐν ἑαυτῇ, ἐὰν μόνον ἅψωμαι τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ, σωθήσομαι

in herself if only ˱I˲_/may/_touch ˱against˲_the garment ˱of˲_him ˱I˲_/will_be_being/_healed

It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: [to herself that if she could only touch his cloak, she would be saved]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μόνον ἅψωμαι

only ˱I˲_/may/_touch

Here, the word only indicates that the woman thinks that, to be healed, she does not need to do anything more than touch Jesus’ garment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [all I do is touch] or [I can just touch]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

σωθήσομαι

˱I˲_/will_be_being/_healed

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, you could indicate that is God or Jesus himself. Alternate translation: [God will save me] or [he will save me]
