UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

καὶ μὴ εὑρόντες ποίας εἰσενέγκωσιν αὐτὸν διὰ τὸν ὄχλον

and not /having/_found ˱by˲_what_‹way› ˱they˲_/may/_carry_in him because_of the crowd

If it would be helpful in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the action that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “But because the crowd of people had filled the house, they could not find a way to bring the man inside”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

διὰ τὸν ὄχλον

because_of the crowd

The implication is that they could not enter because the crowd was so large that there was no room for them. Alternate translation: “because the crowd of people had filled the house”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀναβάντες ἐπὶ τὸ δῶμα

/having/_gone_up on the housetop

In this culture, houses had flat roofs, and many houses had a staircase outside that provided access to the housetop. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “they went up the outside staircase onto the flat roof of the house”

καθῆκαν αὐτὸν

˱they˲_let_down him

Alternate translation: “and lowered the man down”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

εἰς τὸ μέσον

into the midst

Luke is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need to be complete. Alternate translation: “into the midst of the people”

ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ Ἰησοῦ

before ¬the Jesus

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