UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

ἥξει ὁ κύριος τοῦ δούλου ἐκείνου

/will_be/_coming the master ¬the ˱of˲_slave that

If you translated the previous verse as a hypothetical condition, you could translate this verse as the result of that condition. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [Then the master of that slave will arrive]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ οὐ προσδοκᾷ, καὶ ἐν ὥρᾳ ᾗ οὐ γινώσκει

in /a/_day which not ˱he˲_/is/_expecting and in /an/_hour which not ˱he˲_/is/_knowing

These two phrases mean the same thing. Jesus is likely using the repetition to emphasize that the return of the master will be completely unexpected by the servant. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these phrases, especially if putting both of them in your translation might be confusing for your readers. Alternate translation: [at a time that is a complete surprise to the servant]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ οὐ προσδοκᾷ

in /a/_day which not ˱he˲_/is/_expecting

Here, Jesus uses the term day to refer to a specific time. Alternate translation: [at a time when he is not expecting him]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν ὥρᾳ ᾗ οὐ γινώσκει

in in /an/_hour which not ˱he˲_/is/_knowing

Here, Jesus uses the term hour to refer to a specific time. Alternate translation: [at a time when he does not think he will come]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

διχοτομήσει αὐτὸν

/will_be/_dismembering him

The expression cut him in two could mean one of two things, depending on how the word unfaithful is understood (See: next note): (1) if unfaithful means “untrustworthy,” then the expression is probably figurative, since the master could not reassign this servant to less important responsibilities if he cut him in two. Alternate translation: [will punish him severely] (2) if unfaithful means “unbelieving,” then the expression is more literal, since it would describe something that will happen when God judges the world. Alternate translation: [destroy his body]

τὸ μέρος αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ἀπίστων θήσει

the portion ˱of˲_him with the unbelievers /will_be/_appointing

The term that ULT translates as unfaithful could mean: (1) “untrustworthy.” The meaning would be that the master will assign this servant to less important responsibilities, along with other servants who have shown that they cannot be trusted with important ones. Alternate translation: [will give him unimportant responsibilities, like other servants who have shown that they cannot be trusted] (2) “unbelieving.” The master in the parable represents God, and Jesus would be speaking of what God will do, when he judges the world, to people who show by their disobedience that they do not have genuine faith. Alternate translation: [will assign him a place with the unbelievers]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τῶν ἀπίστων

the unbelievers

Jesus is using the adjective unfaithful as a noun in order to indicate a group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this expression with an equivalent phrase. The meaning will depend on how you decided to translate unfaithful (See: previous note). Alternate translation: [servants who have shown that they cannot be trusted] or [people who have shown that they are not genuine believers]
