UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν

answering ¬the Jesus said

Here, the word answering indicates that Jesus is responding to what he has said in the previous verses about how people have not repented in response to Jesus’ message and miracles. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [because of how people were not repenting, Jesus said]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

σοι & ἔκρυψας

˱to˲_you & ˱you˲_hid

Because Jesus is praying to God the Father, all forms of you in this verse are singular.

Note 3 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Πάτερ

Father

Father is an important title that describes the relationship between God the Father and Jesus.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

Κύριε τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῆς γῆς

Lord ˱of˲_the heaven and the earth

Here, Jesus is referring to all of creation by naming the parts that are at the extreme ends of it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Lord over everything that exists] or [Lord of all creation]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ταῦτα & αὐτὰ

these_‹things› & them

Here, the phrase these things and the word them refer generally to the meaning and significance of Jesus and his ministry. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [what my ministry means … its meaning] or [my message … it]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ἀπὸ σοφῶν καὶ συνετῶν

from wise and intelligent

Jesus is using the adjectives wise and intelligent as nouns in order to describe groups of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these with noun phrases. Alternate translation: [from people who are wise and intelligent]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / irony

σοφῶν καὶ συνετῶν

wise and intelligent

Jesus calls these people wise and intelligent because that is what they think about themselves. Jesus knows that God has not revealed things to them, so they are not actually that wise or intelligent. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [people who think they are wise and intelligent]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

σοφῶν καὶ συνετῶν

wise and intelligent

The terms wise and intelligent mean similar things. Jesus uses the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [people who think they understand everything]

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

νηπίοις

˱to˲_infants

Here, the phrase little children refers to people who may not have much education but who are willing to accept Jesus’ teachings in the same way that little children willingly listen to those they trust. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use simile form or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to people who are like little children] or [to people who trust you completely] or [to uneducated people]
