UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οὐ μὴ γεύσωνται θανάτου

by_no_means not /may/_taste ˱of˲_death

Here Jesus speaks as if death were food that people could taste. Those who taste death truly experience death as much as a person who eats food truly experiences that food. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will certainly not experience death” or “will certainly not participate in death”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

οὐ μὴ γεύσωνται θανάτου

by_no_means not /may/_taste ˱of˲_death

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of death, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “will certainly not die”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐ μὴ

by_no_means not

The words translated certainly not are two negative words. In this construction, the second negative does not cancel the first to create a positive meaning. Instead, it gives greater emphasis to the negative. If your language can use two negatives that do not cancel one another to create a positive meaning, you could use a double negative here. If your language does not use two negatives in that way, you could translate with one strong negative, as the ULT does. Alternate translation: “by no means”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἐρχόμενον ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ

the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man coming in the kingdom ˱of˲_him

Here Jesus speaks about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person. Alternate translation: “I, who am the Son of Man, coming in my kingdom”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

ἐρχόμενον ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ

coming in the kingdom ˱of˲_him

Christians debate what the phrase coming in his kingdom means. It could refer to one or several of the following events: Jesus’ transfiguration (see 17:1–8), Jesus’ resurrection and enthronement in heaven, the empowerment and growth of the church, the destruction of Jerusalem, and Jesus’ final return. If possible, express the idea in such a way that most or all of these interpretations are possible. Alternate translation: “acting as king in his kingdom” or “taking charge of his kingdom”
