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: writing-quotations

λέγοντες

saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [and they said]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

εἰπὲ

tell

This is an imperative, but it should be translated as a polite request rather than as a command. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [We ask that you tell]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

εἰπὲ & σῆς

tell & your

Since the disciples are speaking to Jesus, the command and the word your in this verse are singular.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ταῦτα

these_‹things›

Here, the phrase these things refers to the events that Jesus described in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [the events you have spoken about] or [that destruction]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῆς σῆς παρουσίας

˱of˲_the your coming

Here the disciples imply that Jesus will come back to this world at some point in the future. They are also implying that he will leave this world before he comes back. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make some or all of those ideas more explicit. Alternate translation: [of when you are going to come back to this world] or [of when, after leaving this world, you will come back]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

συντελείας τοῦ αἰῶνος

/the/_completion ˱of˲_the age

Here, the phrase the end of the age refers to when the current time period will cease and a new age will begin. If your language has a way to refer to the end of the way things are now, you could use it here, or you could use a descriptive phrase. Alternate translation: [of the end of the world] or [of the moment in the future when the current way of doing things will cease]
