UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

εἰ & ἐν δακτύλῳ Θεοῦ, ἐγὼ ἐκβάλλω τὰ δαιμόνια, ἄρα ἔφθασεν ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ

if & by /the/_finger ˱of˲_God I /am/_casting_out the demons consequently came on you_all the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God

Jesus speaks as if this were a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might think that what Jesus is saying is not certain, then you could translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: “So I must be making demons leave people by the power of God. This shows that the kingdom of God has come upon you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐν δακτύλῳ Θεοῦ

by /the/_finger ˱of˲_God

This phrase refers to God’s power. Alternate translation: “by the power of God”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἔφθασεν ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ

came on you_all the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun kingdom with a verb such as “rule.” This could mean: (1) the kingdom of God has arrived in this place, that is, its activities are happening here. Alternate translation: “God is ruling in this area” (2) the kingdom of God has arrived in time, that is, it already beginning. Alternate translation: “God is beginning to rule as king”
