UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἄρτος τῆς ζωῆς

I am the bread ¬the ˱of˲_life

John records Jesus continuing the bread metaphor to refer to himself. In Jesus’ culture, bread was the primary food people ate to stay alive. Just as bread is necessary for sustaining physical life, Jesus is necessary for giving spiritual life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly or with a simile. Alternate translation: “Just as food keeps you physically alive, I can give you spiritual life”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ὁ ἄρτος τῆς ζωῆς

¬the the bread ¬the ˱of˲_life

Jesus uses of life to the source of the life about which he is speaking. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “the bread that produces life”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῆς ζωῆς

¬the ˱of˲_life

Here, life refers to eternal life. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “of eternal life”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

ὁ ἐρχόμενος πρὸς ἐμὲ, οὐ μὴ πεινάσῃ; καὶ ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ, οὐ μὴ διψήσει πώποτε

¬the the the_‹one› coming to me by_no_means not /may/_hunger and the_‹one› believing in me by_no_means not /will_be/_thirsting ever

Jesus speaks about the person who trusts in him by continuing the metaphor of food that he began in verse 32. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express this metaphor as a simile. Alternate translation: “The one coming to me will be like a person who never gets hungry, and the one believing in me will be like a person who never gets thirsty”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ὁ ἐρχόμενος πρὸς ἐμὲ, οὐ μὴ πεινάσῃ; καὶ ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ, οὐ μὴ διψήσει πώποτε

¬the the the_‹one› coming to me by_no_means not /may/_hunger and the_‹one› believing in me by_no_means not /will_be/_thirsting ever

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The repetition is used to emphasize that anyone who trusts in Jesus will never lack spiritual satisfaction. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these phrases. Alternate translation: “The one who trusts me will certainly never lack spiritual satisfaction again”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ ἐρχόμενος πρὸς ἐμὲ

¬the the the_‹one› coming to me

Here, coming does not mean to merely come near Jesus. It means to believe in him and be his disciple. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “The one coming to be my disciple”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

οὐ μὴ πεινάσῃ & οὐ μὴ διψήσει πώποτε

by_no_means not /may/_hunger & by_no_means not /will_be/_thirsting ever

John records Jesus using a figure of speech twice in the same verse to express a strong positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that has the opposite of the intended meaning. If this is confusing in your language, you can express the meaning positively. Alternate translation: “will always be full … will always have his thirst quenched”
