uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ ἀκούσας καί μή ποιήσας ὅμοιος ἐστίν ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδομήσαντι οἰκίαν ἐπί τήν γῆν χωρίς θεμελίου ᾗ προσέρρηξεν ὁ ποταμός καί εὐθύς συνέπεσεν καί ἐγένετο τό ῥῆγμα τῆς οἰκίας ἐκείνης μέγα)

Jesus uses the word But to draw a strong contrast to the previous person who built with a foundation. Alternate translation: [However]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

the_‹one› & ˓having˒_heard the & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ ἀκούσας καί μή ποιήσας ὅμοιος ἐστίν ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδομήσαντι οἰκίαν ἐπί τήν γῆν χωρίς θεμελίου ᾗ προσέρρηξεν ὁ ποταμός καί εὐθύς συνέπεσεν καί ἐγένετο τό ῥῆγμα τῆς οἰκίας ἐκείνης μέγα)

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. These words can be supplied from [6:47](../06/47.md). Alternate translation: [anyone who hears my teachings but does not put them into practice]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

ὅμοιός ἐστιν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ ἀκούσας καί μή ποιήσας ὅμοιος ἐστίν ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδομήσαντι οἰκίαν ἐπί τήν γῆν χωρίς θεμελίου ᾗ προσέρρηξεν ὁ ποταμός καί εὐθύς συνέπεσεν καί ἐγένετο τό ῥῆγμα τῆς οἰκίας ἐκείνης μέγα)

Jesus says this to introduce the simile that follows in the rest of the verse.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδομήσαντι οἰκίαν

˱to˲_˓a˒_man ˓having˒_built ˓a˒_house

Here Jesus is using man in the generic sense. Alternate translation: [a person who built a house]

Note 5 topic: translate-unknown

ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν χωρὶς θεμελίου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ ἀκούσας καί μή ποιήσας ὅμοιος ἐστίν ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδομήσαντι οἰκίαν ἐπί τήν γῆν χωρίς θεμελίου ᾗ προσέρρηξεν ὁ ποταμός καί εὐθύς συνέπεσεν καί ἐγένετο τό ῥῆγμα τῆς οἰκίας ἐκείνης μέγα)

The phrase on the ground without a foundation refers to the same method of building as in [6:48](../06/48.md). You could describe this more fully in your translation. Alternatively, if the people of your culture would not be familiar with that building method, you could use the same image for creating a stable building that you used there in your translation. Alternate translation: [without digging down first to create a foundation]

ᾗ προσέρρηξεν ὁ ποταμός

˱to˲_which dashed_against the flood

In this context, the word flowed indicates violent impact. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [The floodwaters crashed against it]

συνέπεσεν

˱it˲_fell_in

Alternate translation: [it fell down] or [it came apart]

ἐγένετο τὸ ῥῆγμα τῆς οἰκίας ἐκείνης μέγα

became (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ ἀκούσας καί μή ποιήσας ὅμοιος ἐστίν ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδομήσαντι οἰκίαν ἐπί τήν γῆν χωρίς θεμελίου ᾗ προσέρρηξεν ὁ ποταμός καί εὐθύς συνέπεσεν καί ἐγένετο τό ῥῆγμα τῆς οἰκίας ἐκείνης μέγα)

Your language may require you to say what was responsible for the ruin of the house. Alternate translation: [the floodwaters completely demolished that house]
