ULT whose winnowing fork is in his hand to thoroughly clear off his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his storehouse, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

UST The Messiah is ready to do this, just like a farmer who has his winnowing fork ready to use. A farmer separates all the good grain from the useless chaff.

That represents how the Messiah will gather up the people who are pleasing to God, and he will punish the people who are displeasing to God.”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οὗ τὸ πτύον ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ

˱of˲_whom the winnowing_fork_‹is› in the hand ˱of˲_him

John is saying that the Messiah will come prepared to judge people right away. You could express this metaphor as a simile in your translation. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here in your translation. Alternate translation: [He will already be prepared to judge people, just like a farmer who is ready to thresh grain]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

οὗ τὸ πτύον ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ

˱of˲_whom the winnowing_fork_‹is› in the hand ˱of˲_him

The phrase in his hand is an idiom that means he has the tool all ready to use. Alternate translation: [He has his winnowing fork ready to use]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

πτύον

winnowing_fork_‹is›

This is a tool for tossing wheat into the air to separate the wheat grain from the chaff. The heavier grain falls back down, and the wind blows away the unwanted chaff. This tool is similar to a pitchfork. If you have a similar tool in your culture, you could use the word for it here. Otherwise, you could use a phrase that would express the meaning. Alternate translation: [tool for threshing grain]

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

διακαθᾶραι τὴν ἅλωνα αὐτοῦ

/to/_clear_out the threshing_floor ˱of˲_him

The threshing floor was the place where wheat was stacked in preparation for threshing. To clear off the floor is to finish threshing all the grain. Alternate translation: [to completely thresh all of his grain]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

καὶ συναγαγεῖν τὸν σῖτον εἰς τὴν ἀποθήκην αὐτοῦ

and /to/_gather_together the wheat into the barn ˱of˲_him

John continues to speak to describe how the coming Messiah will judge people. The wheat is the part of the crop that is useful. It represents people who are obedient to God, who will be welcomed into his presence. You could express this metaphor as a simile in your translation. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [He will welcome those who are obedient to God, just as a farmer stores good grain in his barn]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

τὸ δὲ ἄχυρον κατακαύσει πυρὶ ἀσβέστῳ

the the and /the/_chaff ˱he˲_/will_be/_burning_up ˱with˲_fire inextinguishable

John continues to speak to describe how the coming Messiah will judge people. The chaff is the husk that surrounds the grain. It is not useful for anything, so people burn it up. You could express this metaphor as a simile in your translation. Alternate translation: [but he will punish those who are disobedient to God, just as a farmer burns up the useless chaff]
