UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go

In a context such as this, your language might say “gone” instead of come. Alternate translation: “having gone”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν πατρίδα αὐτοῦ

the hometown ˱of˲_him

Here, the phrase his hometown refers to the town of Nazareth, where Jesus grew up. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “his hometown, Nazareth”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτοὺς ἐν & αὐτῶν & αὐτοὺς

them in & ˱of˲_them & them

The pronouns them, their, and they refer to the people who were living in Jesus’ hometown. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to these people more directly. Alternate translation: “the people living there in their … they”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐκπλήσσεσθαι αὐτοὺς

/to_be_being/_astonished them

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 and what he said and did. Alternate translation: “he astonished them” or “what he said astonished them”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

πόθεν τούτῳ ἡ σοφία αὕτη καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις?

from_where ˱to˲_this_‹man› ¬the wisdom this and the miracles_‹received›

The people in Jesus’ hometown are using the question form to express their surprise that Jesus has wisdom and can do miracles. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “We are surprised that this one has this wisdom and these miracles.” or “We have no idea where to this one is this wisdom and these miracles!”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

πόθεν τούτῳ ἡ σοφία αὕτη

from_where ˱to˲_this_‹man› ¬the wisdom this

Here, the phrase From where to this one asks about the source from which Jesus received his wisdom and the power to do miracles. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “What is the source of this wisdom” or “How did he receive this wisdom”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἡ σοφία αὕτη

¬the wisdom this

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wisdom, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “is this wise teaching” or “comes how wise he is”
