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: figures-of-speech / go

οἱ προάγοντες

the ¬which going_before

In a context such as this, your language might say “coming” instead of going. Alternate translation: “coming before”

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

λέγοντες

saying

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

Note 4 topic: translate-transliterate

ὡσαννὰ & ὡσαννὰ

Hosanna & Hosanna

The word Hosanna is a Hebrew word. Matthew has spelled it out using Greek letters so his readers would know how it sounded. Hosanna had an original meaning of “save now,” but by the time of this event it had become a way of praising God. In your translation you can spell Hosanna the way it sounds in your language or you could translate it according to how the word was used. Alternate translation: “Honor … Honor”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῷ Υἱῷ Δαυείδ

˱to˲_the Son (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ δὲ ὄχλοι οἱ προάγοντες αὐτὸν καὶ οἱ ἀκολουθοῦντες ἔκραζον λέγοντες ὡσαννὰ τῷ Υἱῷ Δαυίδ εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου ὡσαννὰ ἐν τοῖς ὑψίστοις)

Here, the word Son means a male descendant. It does not mean that Jesus was the direct son of David. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to the Descendant of David” or “the one who is descended from David”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῷ Υἱῷ 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. Alternate translation: “to the Son of David, the Messiah”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου!

/having_been/_blessed the_‹one› coming in /the/_name ˱of˲_/the/_Lord

Here the crowds are quoting from Psalm 118:26. Since they do not introduce the words as a quotation from an important text, you also should not introduce them as anything more than what the crowds said. However, if it would be helpful for your readers, you could include this information in a footnote.

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου

/having_been/_blessed the_‹one› coming in /the/_name ˱of˲_/the/_Lord

The phrase Blessed is the one could be: (1) a request for God to bless Jesus. Alternate translation: “Let the one coming in the name of the Lord be blessed” (2) stating that God had already blessed Jesus. Alternate translation: “The one coming in the name of the Lord is blessed”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

εὐλογημένος

/having_been/_blessed

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 does the action, it is clear from the context that it is God. Alternate translation: “Let God bless”

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου

in /the/_name ˱of˲_/the/_Lord

Here, the word name refers primarily to the person who has that name, and it focuses especially on that person’s authority. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “by your authority of the Lord”

Note 11 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 2) ὡσαννὰ

Hosanna

Here, the word Hosanna could refer to praising: (1) Jesus, the Son of David. Alternate translation: “Hosanna to this one” (2) God, who sent Jesus. Alternate translation: “Hosanna to God”

Note 12 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τοῖς ὑψίστοις

the highest

The people are using the adjective highest as a noun to mean the highest heavens, where God dwells. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “the highest heavens”
