Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

τοῖς ἐξ εὐωνύμων, πορεύεσθε ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ κατηραμένοι εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ αἰώνιον, τὸ ἡτοιμασμένον τῷ διαβόλῳ καὶ τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ & ἐπείνασα γὰρ καὶ οὐκ ἐδώκατέ μοι φαγεῖν, ἐδίψησα καὶ οὐκ ἐποτίσατέ με & ξένος ἤμην καὶ οὐ συνηγάγετέ με, γυμνὸς καὶ οὐ περιεβάλετέ με, ἀσθενὴς καὶ ἐν φυλακῇ καὶ οὐκ ἐπεσκέψασθέ με

˱to˲_the_‹ones› on ˓the˒_left the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ἐρεῖ καί τοῖς ἐξ εὐωνύμων Πορεύεσθε ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ κατηραμένοι εἰς τό πῦρ τό αἰώνιον τό ἡτοιμασμένον τῷ διαβόλῳ καί τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ)

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 the ones on his left that they, who had been cursed, should go from him into the eternal fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels. He said that this was because he was hungry, and they did not give him to eat; he was thirsty, and they did not give him to drink; he was a stranger, and they did not gather together with him; he was naked, and they did not clothe him; he was sick and in prison, and they did not care for him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

εὐωνύμων

˓the˒_left

See how you translated his left in [25:33](../25/33.md). Alternate translation: [his left side]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

κατηραμένοι

˓having_been˒_cursed_‹ones›

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 language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was God. Alternate translation: [the ones God has cursed]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸ πῦρ τὸ αἰώνιον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ἐρεῖ καί τοῖς ἐξ εὐωνύμων Πορεύεσθε ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ κατηραμένοι εἰς τό πῦρ τό αἰώνιον τό ἡτοιμασμένον τῷ διαβόλῳ καί τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ)

The phrase the eternal fire refers to hell and describes it as a very unpleasant place. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form or state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar phrase in [18:8](../18/08.md). Alternate translation: [hell, which is as hot as an eternal fire and] or [the hell]
