UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ἄρτος ὁ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ καταβάς

this is the bread ¬which from heaven /having/_come_down

John records Jesus referring to himself in the third person. If this is confusing in your language, you can use the first person, as in the UST.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ἄρτος & τοῦτον τὸν ἄρτον

this is the bread & this ¬the bread

Jesus is continuing the bread metaphor to refer to himself. Just as bread is necessary for our physical life, Jesus is necessary for our spiritual 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 / metaphor

οἱ πατέρες

the fathers

Here Jesus usesfathers to refer to ancestors. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the ancestors] or [the forefathers]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

οὐ καθὼς ἔφαγον οἱ πατέρες καὶ ἀπέθανον

not as ate the fathers and ˱they˲_died_off

John records Jesus leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the previous clause. Alternate translation: [this bread is not just as the bread that the fathers ate and died]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔφαγον οἱ πατέρες καὶ ἀπέθανον

ate the fathers and ˱they˲_died_off

The phrase ate and died does not mean that the people died immediately after eating the bread. If this wording would confuse your readers, you could translate it in a way that shows a time gap between eating and drinking. Alternate translation: [the fathers ate and still died at a later time]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ὁ τρώγων τοῦτον τὸν ἄρτον

the ¬which the_‹one› eating this ¬the bread

Jesus spoke about himself as this bread. If this is confusing in your language, you can use the first person, as in the UST.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

ὁ τρώγων τοῦτον τὸν ἄρτον

the ¬which the_‹one› eating this ¬the bread

Jesus is using eating this bread to refer to trusting him. However, the Jews did not understand this. Therefore, you do not need to explain its meaning further here.
