UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

and

Here, the word Now introduces the next thing that Jesus wants to say. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next topic, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: [Next,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ & ἐπὶ τὰ πετρώδη σπαρείς, οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τὸν λόγον ἀκούων καὶ εὐθὺς μετὰ χαρᾶς λαμβάνων αὐτόν

the_‹one› & on the rocky /having_been/_sown this is the_‹one› the word hearing and immediately with joy receiving it

Here Jesus speaks about what happens to this person as if it were what happened in the parable when the seed was sown on the rocky ground. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form. Alternate translation: [what happened to the seed having been sown on the rocky ground is like what happens to the one hearing the word and immediately receiving it with joy]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

ὁ & ἐπὶ τὰ πετρώδη σπαρείς, οὗτός

the_‹one› & on the rocky /having_been/_sown this

Here, the word this refers directly back to the one having been sown on the rocky ground. Jesus expresses the idea in this way to introduce the one having been sown on the rocky ground and then explain what it means. If stating the topic and then referring back to it with the word this would be redundant in your language, you could omit the redundant information. Alternate translation: [the one having been sown on the rocky ground]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

σπαρείς

/having_been/_sown

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was the farmer who was sowing seed. Alternate translation: [that the farmer sowed]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὰ πετρώδη

the rocky

Here, just as in 13:5, Jesus refers to an area that has a thin layer of soil on top of a layer of rocks. Express the idea as you did in that verse. Alternate translation: [a thin layer of soil on top of rocks] or [a rocky area]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸν λόγον

the word

Here, just as in 13:19, Jesus is using the term word to mean something spoken in words. Express the idea as you did there. Alternate translation: [the proclamation] or [the news]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν λόγον

the word

Here Jesus implies that this is the same “word of the kingdom” that he mentioned in the previous verse. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the word about the kingdom]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

μετὰ χαρᾶς

with joy

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of joy, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [joyfully]
