UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

Luke uses behold to call the reader’s attention to what he is about to say. Your language may have a similar expression that you can use here.

Note 3 topic: writing-participants

ἀνὴρ πλήρης λέπρας

/a/_man full ˱of˲_leprosy

Luke uses this phrase to introduce a new character into the story. If your language has its own way of doing that, you could use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: [there was a man there who was covered with leprosy]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

πεσὼν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον

/having/_fallen on /his/_face

This phrase is an idiom that means that he bowed down. Make sure that it is clear in your translation that the man did not fall down accidentally. Alternate translation: [he knelt down and touched the ground with his face] or [he bowed down to the ground]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

me /to/_cleanse

The man talks about becoming clean ceremonially, but it is implicit that he has become unclean because of his leprosy, so he is really asking Jesus to heal him of this disease. Alternate translation: [heal me from leprosy]
