uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

ἀσκοὺς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί οὐδείς βάλλει οἶνον νέον εἰς ἀσκούς παλαιούς εἰ δέ μή γέ ῥήξει ὁ οἶνος ὁ νέος τούς ἀσκούς καί αὐτός ἐκχυθήσεται καί οἱ ἀσκοί ἀπολοῦνται)

These were bags made out of animal skins. They were used for holding wine. If your readers would not be familiar with wineskins, you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: [leather bags]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

εἰ δὲ μή γε

if (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί οὐδείς βάλλει οἶνον νέον εἰς ἀσκούς παλαιούς εἰ δέ μή γέ ῥήξει ὁ οἶνος ὁ νέος τούς ἀσκούς καί αὐτός ἐκχυθήσεται καί οἱ ἀσκοί ἀπολοῦνται)

Jesus uses this expression once again to introduce a hypothetical situation that explains the reason why a person would not put new wine in an old wineskin. Alternate translation: [Suppose someone did do that]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ῥήξει ὁ οἶνος ὁ νέος τοὺς ἀσκούς

When the new wine fermented and expanded, it would break the old skins because they could no longer stretch. Jesus’ audience would have understood this information about wine fermenting and expanding and about old leather losing its suppleness. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [the new wine would burst the old wineskins because they would no longer be able to expand when the wine fermented]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί οὐδείς βάλλει οἶνον νέον εἰς ἀσκούς παλαιούς εἰ δέ μή γέ ῥήξει ὁ οἶνος ὁ νέος τούς ἀσκούς καί αὐτός ἐκχυθήσεται καί οἱ ἀσκοί ἀπολοῦνται)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: [the wine would spill out of the bags]
