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 / abstractnouns

σπλαγχνισθεὶς

/having_been/_feeling_compassion

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of compassion, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [having sympathized with the slave]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ κύριος τοῦ δούλου ἐκείνου

the master ¬the ˱of˲_slave that

Here Jesus again refers to the king as the master. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make it more explicit that this is the same man as the one referred to as “king” in 18:23. See how you translated “master” in 18:25. Alternate translation: [the slave’s master, the king,]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τὸ δάνιον ἀφῆκεν αὐτῷ

the loan ˱he˲_forgave ˱to˲_him

Here, the phrase forgave him his debt indicates that the king would no longer require the slave to pay the debt. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [canceled the debt] or [told him not to pay back the debt]
