UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἄφες τοὺς νεκροὺς θάψαι τοὺς ἑαυτῶν νεκρούς

leave the dead /to/_bury the ˱by˲_themselves dead

Jesus does not mean literally that dead people will bury other dead people. Instead, the expression the dead likely refers to those who do not follow Jesus and so are spiritually dead. Alternate translation: “Let people who are not concerned about spiritual things take care of everyday matters”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τοὺς νεκροὺς

the dead

Jesus is using the adjective dead as a noun in order to indicate a group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “people who are dead” or “people who are not concerned about spiritual things”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ

the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God

See how you decided to translate this phrase in 4:43. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun kingdom with a verb such as “rule.” Alternate translation: “how God will rule”
