## translationNotes

* **The Lord answered him** - "the Lord responded to the synagogue ruler"
* **Does not each of you untie your donkey** - This starts a rhetorical question. Jesus used this to get them to think about something they already knew. It can be translated as statement: "You untie your donkey"  (See: [[en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_rquestion]])
* **donkey or cow** - These are animals that people care for by giving them water.
* **daughter of Abraham** - "descendant of Abraham"
* **whom Satan bound** - This is a metaphor. It means "whom Satan kept crippled." The metaphor can be kept and the meaning can be made explicit: "whom Satan bound with this disease." (See: [[en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor]])
* **eighteen long years** - The word "long" here emphasizes that eighteen years was a very long time for the woman to suffer. Other languages may have other ways of emphasizing this.
* **to untie her bonds** - This is a metaphor. It can be translated as "to untie her from Satan" or "to untie the bonds of this illness" (See: [[en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor]])
