T4T 37-39 37-39It will be like what happened when Noah lived. Until the flood came, the people did not know that anything bad would happen to them. Before the flood waters covered the earth, the people were eating and drinking as usual. Some men were marrying women and some parents were giving their daughters to men to marry them. They were doing all this until the day that Noah and his family entered the big boat. And then the flood came and drowned all those who were not in the boat. Similarly, the unbelieving people will not know when I, the one who came from heaven, will return, and they will not be expecting me.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here the word For introduces more information about how no one knows “that day or hour” (see 24:36). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces more information, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “In fact,” or “Indeed,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

ὥσπερ & αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ Νῶε, οὕτως ἔσται ἡ παρουσία τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

as_‹were› & the days ¬the ˱of˲_Noah thus will_be the coming ˱of˲_the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man

Here Jesus compares the days of Noah with the coming of the Son of Man. Jesus explains this comparison in the following verses, so you do not need to explain it here. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that introduces a comparison. Alternate translation: “think about the days of Noah. That is what the coming of the Son of Man will be like”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὥσπερ & αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ Νῶε

as_‹were› & the days ¬the ˱of˲_Noah

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the context if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “just as what occurred in the days of Noah”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ Νῶε

the days ¬the ˱of˲_Noah

Here, the word days refers to a specific period of time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the time when Noah was living” or “the time period of Noah”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔσται ἡ παρουσία τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

will_be the coming ˱of˲_the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man

Here Jesus implies that the Son of Man will come back to this world at some point in the future. He is also implying that the Son of Man 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: “it will be when the Son of Man comes back to this world” or “it will be when the Son of Man, after leaving this world, comes back”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

¬the ˱of˲_the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man

Here Jesus speaks about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person. Alternate translation: “of me, who am the Son of Man”
