UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parables

ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ Βασιλεία τῶν Οὐρανῶν θησαυρῷ

similar is the Kingdom ˱of˲_the Heavens ˱to˲_treasure

To teach the disciples, Jesus offers a story or illustration. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: [Listen to this story: the kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

κεκρυμμένῳ

/having_been/_hidden

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, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: [that someone had hidden]

Note 3 topic: translate-tense

ὃν εὑρὼν ἄνθρωπος ἔκρυψεν, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς χαρᾶς αὐτοῦ ὑπάγει καὶ πωλεῖ πάντα ὅσα ἔχει, καὶ ἀγοράζει τὸν ἀγρὸν ἐκεῖνον

which /having/_found /a/_man hid and from the joy ˱of˲_it /is/_going and /is/_selling all as_much_as ˱he˲_/is/_having and /is/_buying ¬the field that

Here Jesus tells the story partly in the past tense and partly in the present tense. This was a natural way to tell the story in his language. Consider what tense your language might use to tell this kind of story. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the same tense throughout the story. Alternate translation: [which, finding, a man hides. And from his joy, he goes and sells everything, as much as he has, and buys that field]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὃν εὑρὼν ἄνθρωπος ἔκρυψεν

which /having/_found /a/_man hid

Here Jesus means that the man found the treasure, but then he hid it again so that no one else would find it before he could buy the field. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [which a man found and then hid again]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀπὸ τῆς χαρᾶς αὐτοῦ ὑπάγει

from the joy ˱of˲_it /is/_going

Here Jesus could mean that: (1) the man sold everything and bought the field because of his joy. Alternate translation: [because of his joy, he goes] (2) the man sold everything and bought the field while he experienced joy. Alternate translation: [joyfully, he goes]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἀπὸ τῆς χαρᾶς αὐτοῦ

from the joy ˱of˲_it

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of joy, you could express the same idea in another way. Make sure that your translation fits with the interpretation you chose in the previous note. Alternate translation: [because of how joyful he was]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

πάντα ὅσα ἔχει

all as_much_as ˱he˲_/is/_having

The expression everything, as much as he has contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: [everything that he has]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀγοράζει τὸν ἀγρὸν ἐκεῖνον

/is/_buying ¬the field that

Here Jesus implies that the man buys that field so that he can also own the treasure. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [buys that field and the treasure in it] or [buys that field so he can possess the treasure]
