UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν

truly truly ˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all

Jesus uses this phrase to emphasize the truth of the statement that follows. See how you translated this phrase in 1:51.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

φάγητε τὴν σάρκα τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου, καὶ πίητε αὐτοῦ τὸ αἷμα

˱you_all˲_/may/_eat the flesh ˱of˲_the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man and ˱you_all˲_/may/_drink ˱of˲_him the blood

Here Jesus is using the phrases eat the flesh and drink his blood. Just as people need to eat and drink in order to live, people need to trust Jesus in order to have eternal life. However, the Jews did not understand this. Therefore, you do not need to explain its meaning further here.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

φάγητε τὴν σάρκα τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου, καὶ πίητε αὐτοῦ τὸ αἷμα

˱you_all˲_/may/_eat the flesh ˱of˲_the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man and ˱you_all˲_/may/_drink ˱of˲_him the blood

These two phrases, eat the flesh and drink his blood, mean basically the same thing. The repetition is used to emphasize that trusting in Jesus is the only way to have eternal life. Because Jesus’ flesh and blood are important concepts, do not combine them. Instead, you could communicate the emphasis in a way that is most natural in your language. Alternate translation: “you would indeed eat the flesh of the Son of Man and would indeed drink his blood”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου, καὶ πίητε αὐτοῦ τὸ αἷμα

˱of˲_the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man and ˱you_all˲_/may/_drink ˱of˲_him the blood

Jesus is speaking of himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person, as in the UST.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

˱of˲_the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man

See how you translated this phrase in 1:51.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐκ ἔχετε ζωὴν

not ˱you_all˲_/are/_having life

Here, life refers to eternal life. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “you do not have eternal life”
