UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

συνοχὴ ἐθνῶν

anguish ˱of˲_nations

As in 21:10, the term nations here refers to the people of one nationality or ethnic group. Alternate translation: “the people of the nations will be distressed”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν ἀπορίᾳ ἤχους θαλάσσης καὶ σάλου

in with perplexity ˱of˲_/the/_sound ˱of˲_/the/_sea and surf

These storms could be literal. Jesus may be saying that there will be larger and more frequent hurricanes at this time. However, they could also be figurative. Jesus may be using the image of being in a storm at sea to portray how the people will feel about what they are experiencing. You could represent this possible metaphor as a simile in your translation. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “They will be as anxious as they would be in a great storm at sea”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἤχους θαλάσσης καὶ σάλου

˱of˲_/the/_sound ˱of˲_/the/_sea and surf

Jesus may be using the words roaring and tossing together to depict a great storm in the ocean, whose waves would rise up high and make loud sounds. If you decide to retain the metaphor in your translation, you could translate these words with a single expression. Alternate translation: “about the great storms at sea”
