UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη

¬the generation this

Here, generation represents the people who are part of the generation, which means that they are adults who are alive at the same time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the people of this generation”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη

¬the generation this

Christians debate whom Jesus was referring to with the phrase this generation. See the chapter introduction for more information. Two possibilities are most likely. Jesus could be referring to: (1) the people who were alive while he was saying these words. Alternate translation: “people who are alive right now” (2) the people who will be alive when the things that he has described begin to happen. Alternate translation: “people who will be alive then”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ

by_no_means not /may/_pass_away

Jesus is referring to death in a polite way by using the phrase pass away. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a polite way of referring to this in your language, or you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: “will certainly not die”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ

by_no_means not /may/_pass_away

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative phrase certainly not and the negative verb pass away. Alternate translation: “will certainly remain”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐ μὴ

by_no_means not

The words translated certainly not are two negative words. In this construction, the second negative does not cancel the first to create a positive meaning. Instead, it gives greater emphasis to the negative. If your language can use two negatives that do not cancel one another to create a positive meaning, you could use a double negative here. If your language does not use two negatives in that way, you could translate with one strong negative, as the ULT does. Alternate translation: “by no means”

πάντα ταῦτα

all these_‹things›

Here, just as in 24:33, the phrase all these things refers back to what Jesus has described in 24:4–28 or perhaps 24:4–31. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “all those things I have told you about”
