UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

and

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: “Then,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τῷ ἑτέρῳ

˱to˲_the other_‹child›

Jesus is using the adjective other as a noun to mean the other child. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “the other child”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἶπεν ὡσαύτως

˱he˲_said likewise

Here Jesus means that the man said the same things that he said to the the first child (see 21:28). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “he said the same thing” or “he told him also to go work in his vineyard”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

εἶπεν, ἐγώ, κύριε

˱he˲_said said I_‹will› sir

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “called him lord and said that he would,”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐγώ

I_‹will›

Here the man’s child means that he will go and work in the vineyard. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “I will work in the vineyard”

Note 6 topic: writing-politeness

κύριε

sir

In Jesus’ culture, the word lord was a polite way for a child to address a father. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that is a polite way to address a father in your culture. Alternate translation: “sir”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐκ ἀπῆλθεν

not went_away

Here Jesus implies that the man’s child did not go to the vineyard and did not work there. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “he did not go and work in the vineyard”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / go

οὐκ ἀπῆλθεν

not went_away

In a context such as this, your language might say “come” instead of go. Alternate translation: “he did not come”
