uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ἔφαγον πάντες & ἦραν

ate all & ˱they˲_took_up

The pronoun they in the phrase they all ate refers to the crowds. The pronoun they in the phrase they took up refers to the disciples. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to these people more directly. Alternate translation: “the crowds all ate … the disciples took up”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν

and and /were/_satisfied

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your languages. Alternative translation: “until they were full”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τὸ περισσεῦον τῶν κλασμάτων

the_‹part› being_leftover ˱of˲_the fragments

Here, the phrase the remaining refers to what was left after everyone ate. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the leftovers” or “what was left of the broken pieces”

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

κοφίνους

baskets

The word baskets refers to large circular containers that store food or other items. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of container, you could use the name of something similar in your area, or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “boxes” or “containers”
