UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

λέγων αὐτοῖς

saying ˱to˲_them

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

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

πορεύεσθε

/be/_going

In a context such as this, your language might say “Come” instead of Go. Alternate translation: “Come”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τὴν κώμην, τὴν κατέναντι ὑμῶν

the village ¬which in_front_of ˱of˲_you_all

Here, a village that is opposite someone means that it is directly in front of them. Jesus is here referring to the village of Bethphage. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the village directly in front of you” or “the village of Bethphage, which is before you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὄνον δεδεμένην

/a/_donkey /having_been/_bound

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: “a donkey that a person has tied up”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

δεδεμένην

/having_been/_bound

Here Jesus implies that someone has used a rope or tether to secure the donkey so that it cannot wander away. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “secured with a tether”

Note 6 topic: translate-unknown

πῶλον

/a/_colt

A colt is a young donkey that is no longer a baby but is not yet full grown. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of animal, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “one of her young ones” or “a young donkey”
