UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

λείπεται σοφίας

/is/_lacking ˱of˲_wisdom

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun wisdom with an adjective such as “wise.” Alternate translation: “is not sure what would be the wise thing to do”

αἰτείτω παρὰ & Θεοῦ

˱him˲_/let_be/_requesting from & God

Alternate translation: “let him ask God”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

δοθήσεται αὐτῷ

˱it˲_/will_be_being/_given ˱to˲_him

If your language does not use this passive form, you can express this with an active form, and you can state who will do the action. Alternate translation: “God will give it to him”
