Note 1 topic: writing-endofstory

καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἐτέλεσεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς διατάσσων τοῖς δώδεκα μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, μετέβη ἐκεῖθεν τοῦ διδάσκειν καὶ κηρύσσειν ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῶν

and ˱it˲_became when finished ¬the Jesus directing ˱to˲_the twelve disciples ˱of˲_him ˱he˲_departed from_there ¬which /to_be/_teaching and /to_be/_proclaiming in the cities ˱of˲_them

This sentence marks the end of Jesus’ instructions by summarizing what Jesus did and then describing what he did next. Use the natural form in your language for expressing the conclusion of a story. Alternate translation: “Then Jesus finished giving orders to his 12 disciples. After that, he departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μετέβη

˱he˲_departed

Here Matthew implies that the 12 disciples also left that place to do what Jesus had instructed them to do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “he sent them out, and then he departed”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐκεῖθεν

from_there

Here, the word there refers to the place where Jesus was when he gave his disciples the instructions that are quoted in the previous chapter. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “from where he had been”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

τοῦ διδάσκειν καὶ κηρύσσειν

¬which /to_be/_teaching and /to_be/_proclaiming

The terms teach and preach mean similar things. Matthew is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “to teach frequently” or “to preach often”

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῶν

the cities ˱of˲_them

Here, the word their refers to Jewish people in general, particularly those who lived in Galilee. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the Jewish cities” or “the cities in Galilee”
