1.3 KiB
Connecting Statement:
Jesus continues speaking to his disciples.
Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, ... see me'?
Jesus uses this question so his disciples will focus on what he has just told them, so he can explain further. AT: "You are asking yourselves what I meant when I said, ... see me.'" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
Truly, truly, I say to you
Translate this the way your language emphasizes that what follows is important and true. See how you translated this in John 1:51.
but the world will be glad
Here the "world" is a metonym for the people who oppose God. AT: "but the people who oppose God will be glad" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
but your sorrow will be turned into joy
"Turned into" here is an idiom for "changed into." You can translate this in an active form. AT: "but your sadness will turn into joy" or "but your sorrow will be changed into joy" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)
