UTN uW Translation Notes:
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
λέγει
/is/_saying
Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὁ λελουμένος οὐκ ἔχει χρείαν, εἰ μὴ τοὺς πόδας νίψασθαι
¬The the_‹one› /having_been/_washed not /is/_having need except ¬not/lest the feet /to/_wash
In this verse, Jesus uses washed to refer to God forgiving a person for their sins. He also uses feet to refer to daily sins, because people in Jesus’ culture had to wash their feet frequently due to wearing sandals while walking on dusty, dirty roads. If this might confuse your readers, you could state their meanings clearly or use similes. Alternate translation: “The one who has received God’s forgiveness for their sins, only needs to be forgiven for his daily sins”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὁ λελουμένος
¬The the_‹one› /having_been/_washed
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “The one who someone has washed”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἀλλ’ ἔστιν καθαρὸς ὅλος; καὶ ὑμεῖς καθαροί ἐστε
but ˱he˲_is clean all and you_all clean are
In this verse, Jesus uses clean to refer to someone who has been forgiven for their sins. If this might be confusing in your language, you could state its meaning clearly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “but he has been completely forgiven for his sins, and you have been forgiven”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
ὑμεῖς
you_all
Here Jesus uses the word you to refer to all of his disciples, not only Peter. Use a plural form of you if your language distinguishes between singular and plural you.
