uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ ἔχων τὴν νύμφην, νυμφίος ἐστίν & τοῦ νυμφίου & τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ νυμφίου

the the_‹one› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὁ ἔχων τήν νύμφην νυμφίος ἐστίν ὁ δέ φίλος τοῦ νυμφίου ὁ ἑστηκώς καί ἀκούων αὐτοῦ χαρᾷ χαίρει διά τήν φωνήν τοῦ νυμφίου αὕτη Οὖν ἡ χαρά ἡ ἐμή πεπλήρωται)

John the Baptist uses bride and bridegroom to refer to people who believe in Jesus and Jesus himself, respectively. Since these are important terms for Christians and for Jesus, you should translate the words directly and not provide a plain explanation in the text of your translation. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate these words with similes. Alternate translation: [The one who is like one who has a bride is like a bridegroom … of the one who is like a bridegroom … of the voice of one who is like a bridegroom]

John the Baptist is referring to himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [But I am the friend of the bridegroom, and I stood and heard him, and I rejoice]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [I rejoice greatly] or [I rejoice with complete joy]
