UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

but

Here, the word But 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 But untranslated. Alternate translation: “After that”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

στραφεὶς

/having_been/_turned

Here Matthew could be implying that Jesus turned: (1) to face Peter. Alternate translation: “having turned toward Peter” (2) away from Peter. Alternate translation: “having turned away from Peter”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὕπαγε ὀπίσω μου

/be/_going behind me

Here Jesus speaks as if he wants Peter to Get behind him. He means that Peter should not rebuke him but should instead accept what Jesus says. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Do not stand in my way” or “Do not rebuke me”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

Σατανᾶ

Satan

Here Jesus calls Peter Satan because Peter is asking like Satan by tempting Jesus to disobey God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use simile form or explain the metaphor. Alternate translation: “you who are acting like Satan” or “for you are tempting me as Satan does”

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

σκάνδαλον εἶ ἐμοῦ, ὅτι οὐ φρονεῖς τὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἀλλὰ τὰ τῶν ἀνθρώπων

/a/_temptation ˱you˲_are ˱of˲_me because not ˱you˲_/are/_thinking the_‹things› ¬the ˱of˲_God but the_‹things› ¬the ˱of˲_humans

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 result that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: “Because you are not considering the things of God, but the things of men, you are a stumbling block to me”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

σκάνδαλον εἶ ἐμοῦ

/a/_temptation ˱you˲_are ˱of˲_me

Here, Jesus speaks of someone who tempts others to sin as if that person were a stumbling block. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “You are tempting me to sin”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

εἶ & οὐ φρονεῖς

˱you˲_are & not ˱you˲_/are/_thinking

Since Jesus is talking to Peter, the words You and you are singular.

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

οὐ φρονεῖς τὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἀλλὰ τὰ τῶν ἀνθρώπων

not ˱you˲_/are/_thinking the_‹things› ¬the ˱of˲_God but the_‹things› ¬the ˱of˲_humans

If your language would not naturally put the negative statement before the positive statement, you could reverse the two clauses here. Alternate translation: “you are considering the things of men, not the things of God”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἀλλὰ τὰ

but the_‹things›

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “but you are considering the things”

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τῶν ἀνθρώπων

¬the ˱of˲_humans

Although the term men is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “of human beings” or “of people”
