UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

λέγει

/is/_saying

To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “said”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἀπόστρεψον τὴν μάχαιράν σου εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς; πάντες γὰρ οἱ λαβόντες μάχαιραν, ἐν μαχαίρῃ ἀπολοῦνται

turn_away the sword ˱of˲_you into the place ˱of˲_it all for the_‹ones› /having/_taken /the/_sword by /the/_sword /will_be/_perishing

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “All the ones having taken a sword will perish by a sword, so return your sword to its place”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ἀπόστρεψον & σου

turn_away & ˱of˲_you

Since Jesus is talking to the man who drew his sword, the word your and the command Return are singular.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς

the place ˱of˲_it

Here, the place for the sword is where a person would normally store or keep a sword while he or she was not using it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use comparable a word or phrase that refers to where a person keeps a sword on them, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “your belt” or “where you keep it”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

οἱ λαβόντες μάχαιραν

the_‹ones› /having/_taken /the/_sword

Here Jesus refers to those who fight and kill others as the ones having taken a sword. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the ones using swords” or “the ones having taken a sword to kill others”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν μαχαίρῃ ἀπολοῦνται

by /the/_sword /will_be/_perishing

Here Jesus implies that these people will perish by someone killing them with a sword. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “will be killed by someone else using a sword”
