UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

τότε

then

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

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

προσηνέχθησαν & παιδία

/were/_brought & little_children

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. If you need to say who did the action, you could use an indefinite subject. Alternate translation: “they brought little children to”

Note 3 topic: translate-symaction

τὰς χεῖρας ἐπιθῇ αὐτοῖς

his hands ˱he˲_/may/_lay_on ˱on˲_them

In Matthew’s culture, when Jesus would lay his hands on the little children, that would express God’s love for them and convey God’s blessing to them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to a similar action from your culture, or you could explain what laying his hands on them means. Alternate translation: “he would stretch out his hands toward them” or “he would lay his hands on them to bless them”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

προσεύξηται

˱he˲_/may/_pray

Here the people who brought the little children want Jesus to pray that God would bless the children. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “would pray for God to bless them”

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

(Occurrence 2) αὐτοῖς

˱to˲_them

The pronoun them refers to the people who were bringing the little children. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to these people more directly. Alternate translation: “the people who were bringing the little children”
