UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

τότε

The word Then introduces a new event that happened some time after the events the story has just related. The story does not say how long after those events this new event happened. Use the natural form in your language for introducing a new event. Alternate translation: [Some time later,]

προσηνέχθη αὐτῷ δαιμονιζόμενος, τυφλὸς καὶ κωφός

/was/_brought ˱to˲_him /a/_being_demon_possessed_‹man› blind and mute

Matthew is using the phrase one being demon-possessed to introduce this man as a new participant in the story. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you could use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: [a person was brought to Jesus. He was demon-possessed, blind, and mute]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

προσηνέχθη αὐτῷ δαιμονιζόμενος

/was/_brought ˱to˲_him /a/_being_demon_possessed_‹man›

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

/a/_being_demon_possessed_‹man›

Note 6 topic: translate-unknown

τυφλὸς καὶ κωφός

blind and mute

A mute person is a person who cannot speak, and a blind person is a person who cannot see. If your readers would not be familiar with these types of disorders or illnesses, you could use the names of similar things in your area or you could use more general terms. Alternate translation: [who was unable to talk or see things]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτόν

˱he˲_healed him

Here Matthew implies that Jesus healed the man in every way, which would include casting out the demon. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [he cast out the demon and healed him]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν κωφὸν

the mute_‹man›

Here Matthew uses the phrase the mute one to indicate that the man had been mute, and also blind, before Jesus healed him.

Alternate translation: [the man who had been mute and blind] or [he]
