UTN uW Translation Notes:

λέγω ὑμῖν

˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all

Jesus says this to emphasize what he is about to tell his disciples. Alternate translation: “I can assure you”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ποιήσει τὴν ἐκδίκησιν αὐτῶν ἐν τάχει

˱he˲_/will_be/_executing the vengeance ˱of˲_them in quickness

The point of the parable and of this teaching is that people should continue to pray even if God does not answer right away. So this statement might seem contradictory, since it suggests that God will answer right away. The implication may be that God is concerned for his people and will begin to act immediately to help them, even if his actions do not become apparent for some time. If you think your readers would be puzzled or troubled by the apparent contradiction, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “he will start to answer their prayers right away” or “he will begin to send them help right away”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

πλὴν ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἐλθὼν, ἆρα εὑρήσει τὴν πίστιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς?

however the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man /having/_come ¬/anxiety/ ˱he˲_/will_be/_finding ¬the faith on the earth

Jesus is using the question form as a teaching tool. This particular question uses a word that anticipates a negative answer. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this as a statement. Alternate translation: “Nevertheless, it is doubtful that the Son of Man will find faith on the earth when he returns.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πλὴν

however

The reference of the word Nevertheless is implied in the context. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make it explicit. Alternate translation: “Even though God readily answers prayer”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἐλθὼν

the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man /having/_come

Jesus is speaking about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: “when I, the Son of Man, come”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἐλθὼν

the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man /having/_come

See how you translated the title Son of Man in 5:24. Alternate translation: “when I, the Messiah, come”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν πίστιν

the ¬the faith

When Jesus asks whether he will find faith on the earth, he may be referring implicitly to the kind of persevering trust in God that would lead a person to continue praying even when the answer was delayed. (UST offers another possible interpretation of this word.) Alternate translation: “this kind of persevering faith” or “this kind of persevering trust in God”
