UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-tense

λέγει

˱he˲_/is/_saying

To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: [He said]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πῶς οὖν Δαυεὶδ ἐν Πνεύματι καλεῖ Κύριον αὐτὸν

how therefore (Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγει αὐτοῖς πῶς οὖν Δαυὶδ ἐν Πνεύματι καλεῖ Κύριον αὐτὸν λέγων)

In Jesus’ culture, people would not call any of their descendants Lord, since this title was used for people who were more important or older. Jesus question assumes this practice. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make it more explicit. Alternate translation: [Then, since no one calls his son Lord, how does David in the Spirit call him Lord]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

πῶς οὖν

how therefore

Here, the word then introduces an question based on the fact that the Messiah is the “son” of David (see 22:42). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of question, or you could leave then untranslated. Alternate translation: [Given that, how] or [Because of that, how]

Note 4 topic: translate-tense

Δαυεὶδ ἐν Πνεύματι καλεῖ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγει αὐτοῖς πῶς οὖν Δαυὶδ ἐν Πνεύματι καλεῖ Κύριον αὐτὸν λέγων)

In many languages, it is conventional to use the present tense to describe what a writer does within a composition. However, if that would not be natural in your language, you could use the past tense here. Alternate translation: [did David in the Spirit call]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Δαυεὶδ ἐν Πνεύματι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγει αὐτοῖς πῶς οὖν Δαυὶδ ἐν Πνεύματι καλεῖ Κύριον αὐτὸν λέγων)

Here, the phrase in the Spirit indicates that David called the Messiah Lord as the Spirit inspired him. In other words, the Spirit prompted David to say this. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [David, by the inspiration of the Spirit,] or [David, prompted by the Spirit,]

Note 6 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτὸν

him

The pronoun him refers to the Christ. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use the person's title here. Alternate translation: [the Christ]

Note 7 topic: writing-quotations

λέγων

saying

Here Jesus introduces a quotation from an important text, in this case, the Old Testament book of Psalms (see Psalm 110:1). This Psalm was written by David. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Jesus is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: [as you can read in the book of Psalms] or [writing in the Scriptures]
