UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀνθρώπων

people

Here Jesus is using the term Men in a generic sense that includes all people. Alternate translation: “people”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

ἀπὸ φόβου καὶ προσδοκίας

from fear and expectation

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The term fear describes what the expectation of people will be like. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “from fearful expectation”

τῶν ἐπερχομένων τῇ οἰκουμένῃ

˱of˲_the_‹things› coming_over ˱to˲_the inhabited_world

Alternate translation: “of the things that are happening in the world” or “of the things that are happening to the world”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

αἱ γὰρ δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν σαλευθήσονται

the for powers ˱of˲_the heavens /will_be_being/_shaken

If it would be helpful in your language, you could put this statement first in the verse, since it gives the reason for the results that the rest of the verse describes. You could begin this statement with “Since,” or you could have no introductory word for it and introduce the rest of the verse with “and so.”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

αἱ & δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν σαλευθήσονται

the & powers ˱of˲_the heavens /will_be_being/_shaken

The phrase the powers of the heavens is most likely an idiomatic reference back to the sun, moon, and stars, which Jesus mentioned at the beginning of the previous verse. Alternate translation: “the sun, moon, and stars will be shaken”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

αἱ & δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν σαλευθήσονται

the & powers ˱of˲_the heavens /will_be_being/_shaken

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who will do the action. Alternate translation: “God will shake the sun, moon, and stars”
