uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ἐρεῖ & εὐωνύμων

˱he˲_˓will_be˒_saying & ˓the˒_left

Jesus continues to speak about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person. Alternate translation: [I will say … my left]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

εὐωνύμων

˓the˒_left

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

Note 3 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 4 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. Alternate translation: [hell, which is as hot as an eternal fire and] or [the hell]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸ ἡτοιμασμένον

(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 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: [that God has prepared]
