UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐλυπήθη

/was/_sorrowed

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. Alternate translation: [was very sorry]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

διὰ τοὺς ὅρκους καὶ τοὺς συνανακειμένους

because_of (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἐλυπήθη ὁ βασιλεὺς διὰ δὲ τοὺς ὅρκους καὶ τοὺς συνανακειμένους ἐκέλευσεν δοθῆναι)

Here Matthew indicates two reasons why Herod kept his word. First, he had made oaths that he did not want to break. Second, he had promised in front of the ones reclining to eat with him, and it would be embarrassing and shameful to break his promise when everyone had heard it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make these reasons more explicit. Alternate translation: [but because he had used oaths and because the ones reclining to eat with him had heard what he promised]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοὺς συνανακειμένους

the the_‹ones› reclining

In Jesus’ culture, people would usually recline, or lay on one side, at a table when they were eating. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to the position in which people eat in your culture, or you could just refer to eating. Alternate translation: [the ones sitting down to eat with him] or [the ones eating with him]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐκέλευσεν δοθῆναι

˱he˲_commanded_‹it› /to_be/_given

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who would do the action, Matthew implies that one of Herod’s soldiers would do it. Alternate translation: [he commanded that one of his soldiers give it]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐκέλευσεν δοθῆναι

˱he˲_commanded_‹it› /to_be/_given

Here Matthew means that Herod commanded someone to do what Herodias’ daughter asked. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [commanded that someone give her what she had requested]
