UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰδοὺ

behold

Jesus uses Behold to focus his disciples’ attention on what he is about to say. Alternate translation: “Listen carefully now”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὴν ἐξουσίαν τοῦ πατεῖν ἐπάνω ὄφεων καὶ σκορπίων

the authority ¬which /to_be/_treading on serpents and scorpions

This could mean: (1) Jesus is referring to actual snakes and scorpions and saying that God will protect his disciples from these dangers everywhere they travel to proclaim the kingdom. Alternate translation: “protection from snakes and scorpions, even if you step on them” (2) the phrase snakes and scorpions is a figurative way of describing evil spirits. Alternate translation: “the power to defeat evil spirits”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

ὄφεων

serpents

In context, this clearly means poisonous snakes. If your readers would not be familiar with snakes, you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “poisonous biting animals”

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

σκορπίων

scorpions

The term scorpions describes small animals that are related to spiders. They have two claws and a poisonous stinger in their tail. If your readers would not be familiar with scorpions, you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “poisonous stinging animals”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ ἐχθροῦ

and and on all the power ˱of˲_the enemy

This phrase continues the meaning from earlier in the sentence. The enemy is Satan, as described in the previous verse. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “I have also given you authority to overcome the resistance of Satan”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐδὲν ὑμᾶς οὐ μὴ ἀδικήσῃ

nothing you_all by_no_means not /may/_injure

Here Jesus uses a double negative for emphasis, “nothing in no way will hurt you.” The second negative does not cancel the first to create a positive meaning, “something in some way might hurt you.” If your language uses double negatives for emphasis that do not cancel one another, it would be appropriate to use that construction here.
