UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

ὅπως

so_that

Here, the phrase so that introduces the purpose for which the disciples should give alms privately. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces a purpose. Alternate translation: “in order that”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ Πατήρ σου

the Father ˱of˲_you

This is a figurative expression. God is not the Father of humans in the same actual way that he is the Father of Jesus. Even so, it would probably be best to translate Father with the same word that your language would naturally use to refer to a human father. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that this means God. Alternate translation: “God, who is your Father,”

Note 3 topic: translate-textvariants

ἀποδώσει σοι

/will_be/_giving_back ˱to˲_you

Many ancient manuscripts read will reward you. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “will reward you in the open.” 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.
