UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῇ λόγον

not answered ˱to˲_her /a/_word

Matthew is using the term word to mean something spoken in words. The phrase did not answer her a word means that Jesus did not use words to respond to the woman’s requests. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “kept silent” or “did not answer her in any way”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

προσελθόντες

/having/_approached

Here Matthew implies that the disciples approached Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “having approached Jesus”

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

λέγοντες

saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation without the preceding comma: “and they said”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἀπόλυσον αὐτήν, ὅτι κράζει ὄπισθεν ἡμῶν

send_away her because ˱she˲_/is/_crying_out behind us

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second clause gives the reason for the request that the first clause expresses. Alternate translation: “She is crying out after us, so send her away”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

ἀπόλυσον αὐτήν

send_away her

This is an imperative, but it should be translated as a polite request rather than as a command. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: “We ask that you send her away”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀπόλυσον αὐτήν

send_away her

Here the disciples could be asking Jesus: (1) to tell the women to leave them alone and go away. Alternate translation: “Make her leave us alone” (2) to cast the demon out of the woman’s daughter and tell her to go home. Alternate translation: “Cast the demon out of her daughter and send her away”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ἀπόλυσον αὐτήν

send_away her

Here, the command is singular because the disciples are speaking to Jesus.

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κράζει ὄπισθεν ἡμῶν

˱she˲_/is/_crying_out behind us

Here the disciples imply that the woman was walking behind them and crying out many times. The disciples found this very annoying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make some or all of that information explicit. Alternate translation: “she is following us and annoying us by crying out”
