UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰδοὺ

behold

Luke uses the term behold to calls the reader’s attention to what he is about to say. Your language may have a similar expression that you can use here.

Note 2 topic: writing-participants

νομικός τις

/a/_lawyer certain

Luke uses this phrase to introduce a new character into the story. If your language has its own way of doing that, you could use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: “there was a lawyer who”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

νομικός τις

/a/_lawyer certain

See how you translated lawyer in 7:30. Alternate translation: “a certain expert in the Jewish law”

Note 4 topic: translate-symaction

ἀνέστη

stood_up

By standing up, this lawyer was indicating that he had a question to ask Jesus. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain that this was the reason for his action. Alternate translation: “stood up to show that he wanted to ask a question”

ἐκπειράζων αὐτὸν

testing him

Alternate translation: “seeing how well he would answer”

Διδάσκαλε

Teacher

Teacher was a respectful title. You can translate it with an equivalent term that your language and culture would use.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τί ποιήσας, ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσω?

what /having/_done life eternal ˱I˲_/will_be/_inheriting

The lawyer is using the term inherit in a figurative sense to mean “come to possess” or “have.” Alternate translation: “what must I do in order to have everlasting life”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / verbs

τί ποιήσας, ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσω?

what /having/_done life eternal ˱I˲_/will_be/_inheriting

This lawyer may be asking about a single deed that would be worthy of eternal life, because he uses a verb form that does not indicate continuing action. Alternate translation: “What one thing do I need to do so that God will give me eternal life?”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τί ποιήσας, ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσω

what /having/_done life eternal ˱I˲_/will_be/_inheriting
