UTN uW Translation Notes:
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential
εὐθέως δὲ μετὰ
immediately but after
The phrase But immediately after indicates that the events Jesus will describe in 24:29–31 will come soon after the events he has described in 24:15–28 or perhaps all of 24:4–28. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that refers to events that will happen soon after other events. Alternate translation: [Then, directly following]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὴν θλῖψιν τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐκείνων
the tribulation ¬the ˱of˲_days those
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of tribulation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [those days when people will be greatly hurt] or [those days when people will be greatly afflicted]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐκείνων
¬the ˱of˲_days those
The phrase those days refers to the time period that Jesus has been describing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent phrase or state the meaning plainly. See how you expressed the idea in 24:22. Alternate translation: [of that time period]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὁ ἥλιος σκοτισθήσεται
the sun /will_be_being/_darkened
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 will do the action, it is clear from the context that it will be God. Alternate translation: [God will darken the sun]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
ἡ σελήνη οὐ δώσει τὸ φέγγος αὐτῆς
the moon not /will_be/_giving the radiance ˱of˲_it
Jesus speaks as if the moon were a person who could give something to someone else. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the moon will become dark]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
αἱ δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν σαλευθήσονται
the powers ˱of˲_the heavens /will_be_being/_shaken
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 will do the action, it is clear from the context that it will be God. Alternate translation: [God will shake the powers of the heavens]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
αἱ δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν
the powers ˱of˲_the heavens
The phrase the powers of the heavens could refer to: (1) powerful spiritual beings that dwell in the heavens. Alternate translation: [the powerful beings in the heavens] (2) the heavenly bodies, including the sun, moon, and stars. Alternate translation: [the sun, moon, and stars]
