UTN uW Translation Notes:

μηδὲν ἀπελπίζοντες

nothing expecting_back

Alternate translation: “without expecting the person to pay you back”

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

(Occurrence 3) καὶ

and

The word and introduces the results of what has been said so far in this verse. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “Then”

(Occurrence 3) ἔσται ὁ μισθὸς ὑμῶν πολύς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: πλὴν ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑμῶν καὶ ἀγαθοποιεῖτε καὶ δανίζετε μηδὲν ἀπελπίζοντες καὶ ἔσται ὁ μισθὸς ὑμῶν πολύς καὶ ἔσεσθε υἱοὶ Ὑψίστου ὅτι αὐτὸς χρηστός ἐστιν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀχαρίστους καὶ πονηρούς)

Your language may require you to say who will do this action. Alternate translation: “God will reward you greatly”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

υἱοὶ Ὑψίστου

sons ˱of˲_/the/_Highest

This is a figurative expression. Even so, it would probably be best to translate sons with the same word that your language would naturally use to refer to a human son or child.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

υἱοὶ Ὑψίστου

sons ˱of˲_/the/_Highest

Jesus is using the word sons in a generic sense that includes all people. Alternate translation: “children of the Most High”

υἱοὶ Ὑψίστου

sons ˱of˲_/the/_Highest

Make sure that the word sons or “children” in your translation is plural and not capitalized, if your language uses that convention for titles, so that readers do not confuse this expression with the title for Jesus, “the Son of the Most High,” which occurs in 1:32 and 8:28.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

Ὑψίστου

˱of˲_/the/_Highest

See how you translated the expression the Most High in 1:32. Review the note there if that would be helpful. Alternate translation: “of the Most High God”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τοὺς ἀχαρίστους καὶ πονηρούς

the the ungrateful and evil

Here Jesus is using the adjectives ungrateful and evil as nouns in order to indicate groups of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this pair of words with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “people who are ungrateful and evil” or “people who do not thank God and who do wrong things”
