UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἦλθον & οὐκ ἦλθον

˱I˲_came & not ˱I˲_came

Here, the words came and come refer to Jesus entering this world as a human to do what God called him to do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I came to this world … I did not come to this world” or “I am acting … I am not acting”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

βαλεῖν εἰρήνην & βαλεῖν εἰρήνην, ἀλλὰ μάχαιραν

/to/_bring peace & /to/_bring peace but /a/_sword

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “to make people get along with one another … to make people get along with one another, but I came to bring a sword”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν

to the earth

Here, the phrase upon the earth refers to the people who live on the earth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to the people of the earth” or “among people”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἀλλὰ μάχαιραν

but /a/_sword

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from earlier in the sentence. Alternate translation: “but I came to bring a sword”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

μάχαιραν

/a/_sword

Here, the word sword represents strife or fighting. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “strife” or “conflict”
