UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ἀποστελεῖ τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ & αὐτοῦ

˱he˲_/will_be/_sending_out the angels ˱of˲_him & ˱of˲_him

If you expressed the idea in the previous verse in first person instead of third person, you should also use the first person here. Alternate translation: “I will send my angels … my”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

μετὰ σάλπιγγος μεγάλης

with /a/_trumpet (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἀποστελεῖ τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ μετὰ σάλπιγγος φωνῆς μεγάλης καὶ ἐπισυνάξουσιν τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῶν τεσσάρων ἀνέμων ἀπʼ ἄκρων οὐρανῶν ἕως ἄκρων αὐτῶν)

Here, a great trumpet represents the very loud sound that this trumpet would make. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “with a great trumpet call”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς αὐτοῦ

the the chosen ˱of˲_him

Jesus is using the adjective elect as a noun to mean elect people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. See how you translated this word in 24:22. Alternate translation: “his elect people” or “the people whom he has elected”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

ἐκ τῶν τεσσάρων ἀνέμων, ἀπ’ ἄκρων οὐρανῶν ἕως ἄκρων αὐτῶν

from the four winds from /the/_extremities ˱of˲_/the/_heavens to /the/_extremities ˱of˲_them

These two phrases mean similar things. The phrase from the four winds indicates that the elect are gathered from every direction. The phrase from the ends of the heavens to the ends of them indicates that they are gathered from the farthest places. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine the two phrases and emphasize in another way the complete range of this gathering. Alternate translation: “from even the farthest points in every direction”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐκ τῶν τεσσάρων ἀνέμων

from the four winds

The phrase the four winds refers to the four primary directions: north, south, east, and west, and so includes every place. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “from the north, south, east, and west” or “from every place”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀπ’ ἄκρων οὐρανῶν ἕως ἄκρων αὐτῶν

from /the/_extremities ˱of˲_/the/_heavens to /the/_extremities ˱of˲_them

Here, the phrase the ends of the heavens refers to the parts of the world that are the farthest away. Jesus means that the elect will be gathered from every place, no matter how far away. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from the nearest to the farthest places” or “from even the farthest places”
