Luke 13:12-16 in Translation for Translators

12 When Jesus saw her, he called her over to him. He said to her, “Woman, I am freeing you (sg) from your illness!”
13 He put his hands on her. Immediately she stood up straight, and she praised God!
14 But the man in charge ◄of the synagogue/of the meeting place► was angry because Jesus had healed her ◄on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day►. He considered that healing was doing work. So he said to the people, “There are six days each week in which our Jewish laws permit people to work. If you need healing, those are the days to come ◄ to the synagogue/to the meeting place► and be healed. Do not come on our Jewish day of rest!”
15 Then the Lord replied to him, “You (sg) and your fellow religious leaders are hypocrites! ◄On the Sabbath/On our Jewish day of rest►, just like on every other day, ◄each of you unties his ox or donkey, and then leads it from the food trough to where it can drink water./does not each of you untie his ox or donkey, and then lead it from the food trough to where it can drink water?► RHQ That is work, too!
16 This woman is more important than an animal; she is a Jew, descended from Abraham! But Satan has kept her MET crippled for eighteen years, as though he had tied her up and not let her escape! So ◄it is certainly right that she be freed {that I free her}, even if this is a Sabbath day!/was it not right that she be freed {that I free her}, even if this is a Jewish rest day?► RHQ”

13 Then he put his hands on her, and straight away she stood up straight. She said, “Oh God, you are really good.”
14 But the boss of that meeting house was angry, because Jesus made a sick woman better on their rest day. So he told the people, “Listen, you mob. There are 6 days for work each week, so come on any one of those days and get him to make you better. But Saturday is our rest day. Don’t come on Saturday.”
15 Jesus said to him, “You mob are wrong. You say one thing, but you yourselves do something different. You work on Saturdays too. You see, you keep bullocks and donkeys tied up in your yards, and every day you untie them and take them out to a water hole to let them drink. You do that on Saturdays too.
16 Now look at this woman here. She belongs to Abraham’s family. But the boss of the devils, called Satan, he made her back bad a long time ago. It’s like he has kept her tied up with this problem for 18 years. So why can’t I untie her, even on a Saturday?”
