UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

δὲ

and

Luke uses And to introduce background information that will help readers understand what happens next. Alternate translation: [Now]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰδοὺ

behold

Luke uses the term 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

ἐξεκομίζετο τεθνηκὼς

/was_being/_carried_out /having/_died

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 who had died, and he was being carried out of the city]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐξεκομίζετο τεθνηκὼς μονογενὴς υἱὸς τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ

/was_being/_carried_out /having/_died /an/_only_begotten son ˱to˲_the mother ˱of˲_him

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who was doing the action. It may be helpful to break the sentence here. Alternate translation: [people were carrying a man who had died out of the city. He was his mother's only son]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐξεκομίζετο τεθνηκὼς μονογενὴς υἱὸς τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ

/was_being/_carried_out /having/_died /an/_only_begotten son ˱to˲_the mother ˱of˲_him

Luke assumes that his readers will know that the people were carrying the man out of the city in order to bury him. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. It may be helpful to break the sentence here. Alternate translation: [people were carrying a man who had died out of the city so that they could bury his body. He was his mother's only son]

Note 6 topic: writing-background

μονογενὴς υἱὸς τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ; καὶ αὐτὴ ἦν χήρα

/an/_only_begotten son ˱to˲_the mother ˱of˲_him and she was /a/_widow

This is background information about the dead man and his mother. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here and to introduce it in a way that shows it is background information. Alternate translation: [Now he was his mother’s only son, and she was a widow]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μονογενὴς υἱὸς τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ; καὶ αὐτὴ ἦν χήρα

/an/_only_begotten son ˱to˲_the mother ˱of˲_him and she was /a/_widow

The implication is that in this culture, when her son died, the woman lost her only means of support, since her husband had also died. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [who was his mother’s only son, and she was a widow, so he had been her only means of support]
