TSNTyndale Study Notes:

19:11-27 This parable has two main purposes: (1) to teach stewardship, the need to manage gifts and resources well while the king (Jesus) is away (cp. Matt 25:14-30); and (2) to correct the impression that the Kingdom of God would begin right away upon Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem. Most Jews of Jesus’ day expected that when the Messiah came, God’s Kingdom would be established physically on earth, with Jerusalem at its center (see Isa 2:2-4; 35:1-10; 65:17-25; Jer 30–31; Ezek 37, 40-48; Mic 4:1-5).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καλέσας δὲ

/having/_called and

It may be helpful to state that the man did this before he left to receive his kingdom. Alternate translation: “So before he left, the nobleman called”

ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς δέκα μνᾶς

˱he˲_gave ˱to˲_them ten minas

Alternate translation: “he gave each of them one mina”

Note 2 topic: translate-bweight

ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς δέκα μνᾶς

˱he˲_gave ˱to˲_them ten minas

A mina was a unit of weight equal to about half a kilogram. The term refers to silver coins of that weight. Each one was equal to what people would be paid for about four months’ work. You could try to express this amount in terms of current monetary values, but that might cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate, since those values can change over time. So instead you might state something more general or give the equivalent in wages. Alternate translation: “he gave each of them a valuable silver coin” or “he gave each of them four months’ wages”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς, πραγματεύσασθαι ἐν ᾧ ἔρχομαι

told to them /to/_do_business at the_‹time› ˱I˲_/am/_coming

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “told them to trade with the money while he was away”

πραγματεύσασθαι

/to/_do_business

Alternate translation: “Trade with this money” or “Use this money to earn more money”

ἐν ᾧ ἔρχομαι

at the_‹time› ˱I˲_/am/_coming

Alternate translation: “while I am gone.”
