UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὖν

therefore

Here, the word Therefore introduces Jesus’ application of the parable he has given in 25:1–12. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces an application. Alternate translation: “Given that story” or “As what I have told you illustrates”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γρηγορεῖτε & ὅτι οὐκ οἴδατε τὴν ἡμέραν, οὐδὲ τὴν ὥραν

/be/_watching & because neither ˱you_all˲_/have/_known the day nor the hour

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second clause gives the reason for the command in the first clause. Alternate translation: “since you do not know the day nor the hour, be alert”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

τὴν ἡμέραν, οὐδὲ τὴν ὥραν

the day nor the hour

The terms day and hour mean similar things. Jesus is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “the specific time”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν ἡμέραν, οὐδὲ τὴν ὥραν

the day nor the hour

Here Jesus is referring to the moment when he will return. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the time of my coming” or “the moment in the future when I will return”

Note 5 topic: translate-textvariants

τὴν ὥραν

the the hour

Many ancient manuscripts include nothing after the word hour. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts include after the word hour the words “in which the Son of Man comes.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.
