UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰδοὺ

behold

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

Note 2 topic: writing-participants

ἄνδρες φέροντες ἐπὶ κλίνης ἄνθρωπον ὃς ἦν παραλελυμένος

men carrying on /a/_bed /a/_man who was /having_been/_paralyzed

Luke uses this phrase to introduce these new characters into the story. If your language has its own way of doing that, you could use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: “there were some men who were carrying a paralyzed man on a mat”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

κλίνης

/a/_bed

A mat was a portable bed that could also be used to transport a person. Alternate translation: “a stretcher”

ἦν παραλελυμένος

was /having_been/_paralyzed

Alternate translation: “was unable to move by himself”

ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ

before him

Here, before means “in front of.” Alternate translation: “in front of Jesus” or “where Jesus could see him”
