uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

Here, the word But introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [Then]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

αὐτοῖς, ἐχθρὸς ἄνθρωπος τοῦτο ἐποίησεν.

˱to˲_them /an/_enemy man this did

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [to them that a hostile man had done this.]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

τοῦτο ἐποίησεν

this did

The pronoun this refers to the action of planting the weed seeds. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to this action more directly. Alternate translation: [planted the weeds]

/are/_saying ˱to˲_him ˱you˲_/are/_wanting therefore /having/_gone_away ˱we˲_/may/_gather them

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [ask him whether he would desire that, having gone out, they would gather them.]

Note 6 topic: translate-tense

λέγουσιν

/are/_saying

To call attention to a development in the story, Jesus uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: [said]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

θέλεις οὖν

˱you˲_/are/_wanting therefore

Here, the word you is singular since the servants are speaking to the master of the house.

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀπελθόντες, συλλέξωμεν αὐτά

/having/_gone_away ˱we˲_/may/_gather them

Here the servants mean that they could go to the field, pull up the weeds, and gather them in one place. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make these ideas more explicit. Alternate translation: [having gone out to your field, we would pull up and gather them together]

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

συλλέξωμεν

˱we˲_/may/_gather

By we, the servants means themselves but not the farmer, so use the exclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 10 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτά

them

The pronoun them refers to the weed plants. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to them more directly. Alternate translation: [the weeds]
