UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

and

Here, the word But introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “Then,”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

εἰ σὺ εἶ, κέλευσόν

if you are command

Here Peter could be using the conditional form: (1) to refer to something that he thinks may or may not be true. In this case, if Jesus commands him to walk on the water, Peter will believe that it really is Jesus. Alternate translation: “if it is you, then command” or “to prove that it is you, command” (2) to refer to something that he thinks is true. In this case, he is already convinced that it is really Jesus. Alternate translation: “since it is you, command”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

κέλευσόν

command

This is an imperative, but it should be translated as a polite request rather than as a command. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: “please command”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐλθεῖν

/to/_come

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

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα

on the waters

Here Peter means that he wants Jesus to command him to walk miraculously on the surface of the water, just as Jesus was doing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. See how you translated the similar phrase in 14:25. Alternate translation: “on the surface of the water” or “miraculously on top of the water”
