UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

μήτι ἡ πηγὴ ἐκ τῆς αὐτῆς ὀπῆς βρύει τὸ γλυκὺ καὶ τὸ πικρόν

surely_not the spring out_of ˱of˲_the same hole /is/_outflowing ¬the sweet and ¬the bitter

The first word of this sentence in Greek is a negative word that can be used to turn a statement into a question that expects a negative answer. ULT shows this by adding “does it?” Your language may have other ways of asking a question that expects a negative answer, for example, by changing the word order of a positive statement. Alternate translation: “Does a spring gush the sweet and the bitter from the same opening”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

μήτι ἡ πηγὴ ἐκ τῆς αὐτῆς ὀπῆς βρύει τὸ γλυκὺ καὶ τὸ πικρόν?

surely_not the spring out_of ˱of˲_the same hole /is/_outflowing ¬the sweet and ¬the bitter

James is using the question form as a teaching tool. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question by translating his words as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “A spring does not gush the sweet and the bitter from the same opening!”

ἡ πηγὴ

the spring

In this context, the term spring refers to a spring of water, that is, a source of water that comes up from the ground. Alternate translation: “A spring of water”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τὸ γλυκὺ καὶ τὸ πικρόν

¬the sweet and ¬the bitter

James is using the adjectives sweet and bitter as nouns to refer to types of water. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these with equivalent expressions. Alternate translation: “sweet water and bitter water”
