UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

Πνεῦμα Κυρίου ἐπ’ ἐμέ

/the/_Spirit ˱of˲_/the/_Lord_‹is› on me

As in 2:25, upon is a spatial metaphor that means that the Spirit of God is with someone in a special way. Alternate translation: “The Spirit of the Lord is with me in a special way”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἔχρισέν με

˱he˲_anointed me

In the Old Testament, ceremonial oil was poured on a person when they were given the authority to assume an office or do a special task. Isaiah uses anointing to indicate that God has appointed him to his work. Jesus applies these words to himself as well. Alternate translation: “he has appointed me”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πτωχοῖς & τυφλοῖς

˱to˲_/the/_poor & ˱to˲_/the/_blind

Luke is using the adjectives poor and blind as nouns in order to indicate groups of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these expressions with noun phrases. Alternate translation: “people who are poor … people who are blind”

κηρύξαι αἰχμαλώτοις ἄφεσιν

/to/_proclaim ˱to˲_captives forgiveness

Alternate translation: “to tell people who are being held captive that they can go free”

κηρύξαι & τυφλοῖς ἀνάβλεψιν

/to/_proclaim & ˱to˲_/the/_blind regained_sight

Alternate translation: “to tell people who are blind that they will be able to see again”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀποστεῖλαι τεθραυσμένους ἐν ἀφέσει

/to/_send_out /having_been/_oppressed in forgiveness

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who is doing the action. Alternate translation: “to rescue people whom others are treating harshly”
