UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential

τότε

then

Here, the word Then introduces what happened after Jesus finished saying what Matthew has included in the previous verses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next thing that happened. Alternate translation: “After that,”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

τότε ἤρξατο ὀνειδίζειν τὰς πόλεις ἐν αἷς ἐγένοντο αἱ πλεῖσται δυνάμεις αὐτοῦ, ὅτι οὐ μετενόησαν

then ˱he˲_began /to_be/_deriding the cities in which became the most miracles ˱of˲_him because not ˱they˲_repented

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: “Then, because the cities in which most of his miracles were done had not repented, he began to rebuke them”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὰς πόλεις

the cities

Here, the cities refers to the people who live in the cities. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “the people of the cities”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐγένοντο αἱ πλεῖσται δυνάμεις αὐτοῦ

became the most miracles ˱of˲_him

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was Jesus. Alternate translation: “he had done most of his miracles”
