UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

δευτέρα

/the/_second_‹is›

Here, the scribe is using the word second to refer to what is the second most important thing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “The next most significant” or “The second greatest”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

δευτέρα

/the/_second_‹is›

Jesus is using the adjective second as a noun to mean the second commandment. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “The second commandment”

Note 3 topic: translate-ordinal

δευτέρα

/the/_second_‹is›

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you could use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “Number two”

Note 4 topic: writing-quotations

αὕτη, ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν

this ˱you˲_/will_be/_loving the neighbor ˱of˲_you as yourself

Here Jesus quotes from the Old Testament scriptures, specifically from Leviticus 19:18. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could format these words in a different way and include this information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “is this commandment from the book of Leviticus: ‘You will love your neighbor as yourself.’”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

αὕτη, ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν

this ˱you˲_/will_be/_loving the neighbor ˱of˲_you as yourself

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “is that one should love one’s neighbor as oneself.”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ἀγαπήσεις & σου & σεαυτόν

˱you˲_/will_be/_loving & ˱of˲_you & yourself

Since in this command God is addressing each specific person who is part of God’s people, the words You, your, and yourself are singular.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

ἀγαπήσεις

˱you˲_/will_be/_loving

The author of the quotation is using the future form to give a command. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea using a form that expresses a command or obligation. Alternate translation: “You should love” or “You must love”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὡς σεαυτόν

as yourself

The author of the quotation is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “as you love yourself”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

ὡς σεαυτόν

as yourself

The author of the quotation assumes that people love themselves, so he wants these people to love their neighbors just as much. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “as deeply as yourself”

μείζων τούτων ἄλλη ἐντολὴ οὐκ ἔστιν

greater_‹than› these another commandment not is

Alternate translation: “All other commandments are less important than these”

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἄλλη ἐντολὴ οὐκ

another commandment not

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of commandment, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “nothing that God commanded us that is”

Note 11 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τούτων

these

Here, the word these refers to the two commandments that Jesus has just quoted. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “those two commandments”
