UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἐν Βηθλέεμ

in Bethlehem

The chief priests and scribes are leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous verse if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “He is born in Bethlehem”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

Βηθλέεμ τῆς Ἰουδαίας

Bethlehem ¬the ˱of˲_Judea

See how you translated this phrase in 2:1. Alternate translation: “Bethlehem in Judea”

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

οὕτως & γέγραπται διὰ τοῦ προφήτου

thus & ˱it˲_/has_been/_written through the prophet

In Matthew’s culture, for thus it has been written through the prophet is a normal way to introduce a quotation from an important text, in this case, the Old Testament book written by Micah the prophet (see Micah 5:2). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Matthew is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: “this is what God had Micah the prophet write down:”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὕτως & γέγραπται διὰ τοῦ προφήτου

thus & ˱it˲_/has_been/_written through the prophet

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “thus the prophet wrote” or “thus God told the prophet to write”
