UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὖν

therefore

Here, the word Therefore introduces an exhortation based on what John said in rebuking the Pharisees and Sadducees in the previous verse (see 3:7). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an exhortation based on a previous rebuke. Alternate translation: “Instead” or “But here is what you should do:”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ποιήσατε & καρπὸν

produce & fruit

Here, John is speaking of people behaving in certain ways as if they were trees producing fruit. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “act in ways” or “perform deeds”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἄξιον τῆς μετανοίας

worthy ¬the ˱of˲_repentance

Here, John is using the possessive form to describe fruit that matches or goes along with repentance. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “that goes along with repentance” or “that shows repentance”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῆς μετανοίας

¬the ˱of˲_repentance

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of repentance, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “of repenting” or “of people who repent”
