UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὖν

therefore

Here, the word Therefore introduces a conclusion to what Jesus has said in 5:15–7:11. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of conclusion, or you could leave Therefore untranslated. Alternate translation: “In summary” or “So”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

πάντα & ὅσα ἐὰν θέλητε ἵνα ποιῶσιν ὑμῖν οἱ ἄνθρωποι, οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε αὐτοῖς

all_‹things› & as_many_as if ˱you_all˲_/may_be/_wanting that /may_be/_doing ˱to˲_you_all the people thus also you_all /be/_doing ˱to˲_them

In some languages it might be more natural to reverse the order of these phrases. Alternate translation: “you should do to men all things in the way that you desire them to do to you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

οἱ ἄνθρωποι

the people

Although the term men is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “people” or “men and women”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γάρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a reason for the command that Jesus has just given. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis for a command, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “since” or “which you should do because”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὗτος & ἐστιν ὁ νόμος καὶ οἱ προφῆται

this & is the law and the prophets

Here, the clause this is the Law and the Prophets means that Jesus’ command summarizes what the Law and the Prophets require. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “this is what the Law and Prophets require” or “this is a summary of the Law and the Prophets”

Note 6 topic: translate-names

ὁ νόμος καὶ οἱ προφῆται

the law and the prophets

The word Law is the name for one part of the Hebrew Scriptures, and the word Prophets is the name for another part of the Hebrew Scriptures. Show this in your translation in the way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “all the Scriptures, both the Law and the Prophets”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

οἱ προφῆται

the the prophets

Here, the word Prophets represents what the prophets said and wrote. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the writings of the prophets”
