UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τίς ἄρα ἐστὶν ὁ πιστὸς δοῦλος καὶ φρόνιμος, ὃν κατέστησεν ὁ κύριος ἐπὶ τῆς οἰκετείας αὐτοῦ, τοῦ δοῦναι αὐτοῖς τὴν τροφὴν ἐν καιρῷ

who consequently is the faithful slave and prudent whom appointed the master over the household ˱of˲_him ¬which /to/_give ˱to˲_them the food in season

Jesus is using the question form to introduce a further illustration or application of what he has been saying. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “Consider, then, who might be the faithful and wise slave whom the master has appointed over his household to give them their food in time.” or “You should know, then, who is the faithful and wise slave whom the master has appointed over his household to give them their food in time!”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

τίς ἄρα

who consequently

Here the word then introduces an inference that Jesus draws from what he has said about being alert and ready. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces an inference, or you could leave then untranslated. Alternate translation: “Given what I have said, who” or “So then, who”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὃν κατέστησεν ὁ κύριος ἐπὶ τῆς οἰκετείας αὐτοῦ

whom appointed the master over the household ˱of˲_him

The implication, as the rest of the parable makes clear, is that the master is making this arrangement temporarily and provisionally because he is going to be absent for a time. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “whom his master, while he goes away for a while, has appointed over his household”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

τοῦ δοῦναι αὐτοῖς τὴν τροφὴν

¬which /to/_give ˱to˲_them the food

Here, the phrase to give introduces the purpose for which the master appointed the slave. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces a purpose. Alternate translation: “for the purpose of giving them their food”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν καιρῷ

in season

Here, the phrase in time refers to the appropriate or correct time for something to happen. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “at the appropriate times” or “when it is time”
