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 / nominaladj

αἱ & μωραὶ ταῖς φρονίμοις

the & foolish ˱to˲_the prudent

Jesus is using the adjectives foolish and wise as nouns to mean the foolish virgins and the wise virgins. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “the foolish ones … to the wise ones”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

ταῖς φρονίμοις εἶπον, δότε ἡμῖν ἐκ τοῦ ἐλαίου ὑμῶν, ὅτι αἱ λαμπάδες ἡμῶν σβέννυνται

˱to˲_the prudent said give ˱to˲_us of the olive_oil ˱of˲_you_all because the lamps ˱of˲_us /are_being/_extinguished

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “asked the wise to give them from their oil, because their lamps were going out”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

δότε ἡμῖν ἐκ τοῦ ἐλαίου ὑμῶν, ὅτι αἱ λαμπάδες ἡμῶν σβέννυνται

give ˱to˲_us of the olive_oil ˱of˲_you_all because the lamps ˱of˲_us /are_being/_extinguished

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 result that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: “Since our lamps are going out, give us from your oil”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

δότε

give

This is an imperative, but it should be translated as a polite request rather than as a command. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: “We ask that you give”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

αἱ λαμπάδες ἡμῶν σβέννυνται

the the lamps ˱of˲_us /are_being/_extinguished

Here, the phrase going out indicates that the lamps were running out of oil and unable to burn brightly. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the fire in our lamps is dying” or “our lamps are no longer burning”
