uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / events

τούτους τοὺς δώδεκα ἀπέστειλεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς παραγγείλας αὐτοῖς λέγων

these ¬the twelve sent_out ¬The Jesus /having/_commanded ˱to˲_them saying

Here Matthew narrates how Jesus sent out the disciples before he narrates what Jesus instructed them to do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the order of events more explicit. Alternate translation: “When Jesus was about to send the twelve out, he instructed them, saying”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τοὺς δώδεκα

¬the twelve

Matthew is using the adjective twelve as a noun to mean twelve men. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “twelve men”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

ἀπέστειλεν

sent_out

Matthew does not clarify here what Jesus sent them out to do. However, in the instructions from Jesus in the following verses, Jesus makes it clear what he has sent them out to do. So, you do not need to include any implicit information here.

Note 4 topic: writing-quotations

παραγγείλας αὐτοῖς λέγων

/having/_commanded ˱to˲_them saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “having instructed them with these words:”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

εἰς ὁδὸν ἐθνῶν

into /the/_way ˱of˲_/the/_pagans

Here Jesus means that the twelve disciples should not travel to any area where Gentiles live. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to Gentile regions”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

εἰς πόλιν

into into city

The word city represents cities in general, not one particular city. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “into any city”
