UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

and

Here, the word Now introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: “Then,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

προσῆλθον

approached

In a context such as this, your language might say “went” instead of came. Alternate translation: “went”

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

λέγοντες

saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “and they said”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἡ ὥρα ἤδη παρῆλθεν

the hour already passed_by

The clause the hour has already passed by means that it is late in the day. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the day is about to end” or “the sun is setting”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

ἀπόλυσον τοὺς ὄχλους

send_away the crowds

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: “We ask that you send the crowds away”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὰς κώμας

the villages

Here the disciples are referring to villages that are near the desolate place. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the nearest villages” or “the villages that are close to this place”
