UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

and

Here, the word Now 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 Now untranslated. Alternate translation: “Then”

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

λέγοντες

saying

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

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς

show_mercy ˱to˲_us

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: “we ask that you have mercy on us”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς

show_mercy ˱to˲_us

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

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ἐλέησον

show_mercy

Because the two blind men are speaking to Jesus, the request is singular.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

Υἱὸς Δαυείδ

Son (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ δὲ ὄχλος ἐπετίμησεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα σιωπήσωσιν οἱ δὲ μεῖζον ἔκραξαν λέγοντες Κύριε ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς Υἱὸς Δαυίδ)

Here, the word Son means a male descendant. It does not mean that Jesus was the direct son of David. Express the idea as you did in 20:30. Alternate translation: “Descendant of David” or “you who are descended from David”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Υἱὸς Δαυείδ

David was Israel’s most important king, and God had promised him that one of his descendants would be the Messiah. So the title Son of David could implicitly mean “Messiah.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Express the idea as you did in 20:30. Alternate translation: “Son of David, Messiah”
