uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

ὁ βασιλεὺς εἶπεν τοῖς διακόνοις, δήσαντες αὐτοῦ πόδας καὶ χεῖρας, ἐκβάλετε αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον; ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων

the king said ˱to˲_the servants /having/_bound ˱of˲_him /the/_feet and hands cast_out him into the darkness ¬the outer there will_be ¬the weeping and ¬the gnashing ¬the ˱of˲_teeth

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “the king commanded his servants to bind his feet and hands and to throw him out into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and grinding of the teeth.”

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον; ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων

into the darkness ¬the outer there will_be ¬the weeping and ¬the gnashing ¬the ˱of˲_teeth

Here, the clause where there will be weeping and grinding of the teeth could be: (1) something that the king says. Alternate translation: “into the outer darkness, which is where there will be weeping and grinding of the teeth.’” (2) something that Jesus adds in comment. Alternate translation: “into the outer darkness.’ That is where there will be weeping and grinding of the teeth.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον

into the darkness ¬the outer

Here, the phrase the outer darkness refers to a place of punishment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. If possible, preserve the idea of darkness. See how you expressed the similar idea in 8:12. Alternate translation: “into the dark place of punishment”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον

the darkness ¬the outer

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of darkness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the dark place outside”

Note 5 topic: translate-symaction

ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων

the ¬the ¬the gnashing ¬the ˱of˲_teeth

In Jesus’ culture, people would grind their teeth when they experienced anger, grief, and pain. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to an action with comparable meaning or state the meaning of this action plainly. See how you expressed this phrase in 8:12. Alternate translation: “beating of breasts” or “grinding of the teeth in anger and pain”
