UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

τότε

then

Here, the word Then introduces a new event that took place sometime after the previous event, probably relatively soon after. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event. Alternate translation: “After that,” or “One day,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Ἰωάννου

˱of˲_John

Here, the name John refers to John the Baptist. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could refer to him more explicitly. Alternate translation: “of John the Baptist”

Note 3 topic: translate-tense

προσέρχονται

/are/_approaching

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: “came”

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτῷ

˱to˲_him

The pronoun him refers to Jesus. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use the person's name here. Alternate translation: “to Jesus”

Note 5 topic: writing-quotations

λέγοντες

saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “and they said”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

διὰ τί ἡμεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι νηστεύομεν πολλά, οἱ δὲ μαθηταί σου οὐ νηστεύουσιν?

for_reason why we and the Pharisees /are/_fasting (Some words not found in SR-GNT: τότε προσέρχονται αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ Ἰωάννου λέγοντες διὰ τί ἡμεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι νηστεύομεν οἱ δὲ μαθηταί σου οὐ νηστεύουσιν)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could turn this sentence into two sentences, one giving the reason for the question, and the other asking the question. Alternate translation: “We and the Pharisees often fast. For what reason do your disciples not fast?”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμεῖς

Here, the word we refers only to the disciples of John. It does not include Jesus or his disciples. Your language may require you to mark this form.
