Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

ἴδε

behold

Here, the word Behold is meant to draw the attention of Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express Behold with a word or phrase that asks the person to listen or pay attention. Alternate translation: [See] or [Listen:]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί ποιοῦσιν τοῖς Σάββασιν ὃ οὐκ ἔξεστιν?

why ˱they˲_/are/_doing ˱on˲_the Sabbaths what not ˱it˲_/is/_permitting

The Pharisees are using the question form to confront Jesus about the behavior of his disciples. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [they are doing what is not lawful on the Sabbaths.] or [they should certainly not be doing what is not lawful on the Sabbaths!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ποιοῦσιν τοῖς Σάββασιν ὃ οὐκ ἔξεστιν

˱they˲_/are/_doing ˱on˲_the Sabbaths what not ˱it˲_/is/_permitting

The Pharisees considered even the small action of picking heads of grain to be harvesting, and therefore work. This kind of work was prohibited on the Sabbath. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [are they harvesting grain, which is work that is not lawful to do on the Sabbaths]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τοῖς Σάββασιν

˱on˲_the Sabbaths

See how you translated this phrase in 2:23. Alternate translation: [on any of the Sabbath days] or [during a Sabbath day]
