UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὖν

therefore

Here, the word So introduces what his fellow slave did in response to what the first slave said. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a response or reaction, or you could leave So untranslated. Alternate translation: “In response”

Note 2 topic: translate-symaction

πεσὼν

/having/_fallen

In Matthew’s culture, the phrase having falling down refers to kneeling down and putting one’s face close to the ground. This was a position used to show respect and reverence. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable expression for a physical position used to show respect or worship, or you could express the idea plainly. See how you translated this phrase in 18:26. Alternate translation: “having thrown himself on the ground” or “lying down to show respect”

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

λέγων

saying

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

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

μακροθύμησον

be_patient

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. See how you translated the phrase in 18:26. Alternate translation: “I ask that you have patience”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

μακροθύμησον

be_patient

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of patience, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “Be patient”
