UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

ἐκφέρουσα

bringing_out

Here, the word producing introduces what must be true about the land for it to be close to a curse and eventually “burned.” In many languages, this idea can be expressed with a conditional form. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that indicates that the word producing introduces the condition or situation in which the rest of the sentence would be true. Alternate translation: “if it produces”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἀκάνθας καὶ τριβόλους

thorns and thistles

Here, the words thorns and thistles mean almost the same thing. The quotation uses both words to emphasize that the field grows only plants that have no use and may hurt people. If the repetition would be confusing, or if you do not have two words that express this particular meaning, you could use one word or phrase here. Alternate translation: “weeds only” or “only plants with thorns”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κατάρας ἐγγύς

/a/_curse near

Here the author could be using the phrase close to a curse to express the idea that: (1) the land will receive a curse soon. Alternate translation: “about to be cursed” (2) the land may possibly receive a curse. Alternate translation: “in danger of being cursed” or “may be cursed”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἧς τὸ τέλος εἰς καῦσιν

˱of˲_which the end_‹is› to burning

Here, the phrase the end of which is for burning indicates what will finally happen to the land. Use a phrase that refers to the final destiny of something. Alternate translation: “its final destiny is to be burned” or “and eventually it will be burned”

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

ἧς

˱of˲_which

Here, the word which could refer to: (1) the “land,” which the author mentioned in 6:7. Alternate translation: “of which land” (2) the curse. This would mean that the final result of the curse is that the land is “burned.” Alternate translation: “of which curse”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰς καῦσιν

to burning

In the author’s culture, people would burn a field to destroy the plants that were growing on it. That way, they could start fresh with a field that did not have any weeds or other bad plants growing on it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “is for burning all its vegetation” or “is for someone to burn everything on it”
