UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

οὖν

therefore

But is usually translated “therefore” because it typically introduces a result or conclusion from something that has just been said. However, in some cases, including this one, the term instead indicates a contrast with what has just been said. Knowing they would be put on trial, Jesus’ disciples would naturally want to think about how to defend themselves, but Jesus is telling them, by contrast, not to do that. Alternate translation: “Nevertheless,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

θέτε & ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν

purpose & in the hearts ˱of˲_you_all

Jesus speaks of his disciples’ hearts as if they were containers in which the disciples could put the resolution he describes. Alternate translation: “make up your minds” or “decide firmly”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

θέτε & ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν

purpose & in the hearts ˱of˲_you_all

Jesus is using the disciples’ hearts to represent their minds. Alternate translation: “make up your minds”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μὴ προμελετᾶν ἀπολογηθῆναι

not /to_be/_premeditating /to_be/_defended

The implication is that Jesus’ disciples would be thinking about how to defend themselves against their enemies’ accusations. Alternate translation: “not to try to figure out ahead of time what you should say in order to defend yourself against the accusations of your enemies”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀπολογηθῆναι

/to_be/_defended

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “to defend yourselves”
