UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces how Peter begins to sink in contrast with how he started walking on the water. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “And yet,” or “Soon, however,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

βλέπων & τὸν ἄνεμον ἰσχυρὸν

seeing & the wind mighty

Here Matthew could mean that: (1) Peter saw the effects of the strong wind, including the waves. Alternate translation: “seeing what the strong wind did” or “seeing large waves” (2) Peter felt or experienced the strong wind. Alternate translation: “noticing the strong wind” or “feeling the strong wind”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀρξάμενος καταποντίζεσθαι

/having/_begun /to_be_being/_sunk

Here Matthew implies that Peter began to sink into the water that he was walking on top of. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “having begun to sink into the Sea of Galilee”

Note 4 topic: writing-quotations

λέγων

saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “and he said”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

σῶσόν με

save me

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