UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

ἰδοὺ

behold

Here, the word behold draws the attention of the audience and asks them to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks the audience to listen, or you could draw the audience’s attention in another way. Alternate translation: “picture this” or “suddenly”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

εἷς

one

Matthew is using the number one as a noun to mean one person. Your language may use numbers in the same way. If not, you could translate this one with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “one man”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

σχῶ ζωὴν αἰώνιον

˱I˲_/may/_have life eternal

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of life, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “I might live eternally”
