UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

εἴπῃ & ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ

/may/_say & in the heart ˱of˲_him

In Matthew’s culture, the heart is the place where humans think and feel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate heart by referring to the places where humans think and feel in your culture or by expressing the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [says in his head] or [says to himself]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ, χρονίζει μου ὁ κύριος

in the heart ˱of˲_him /is/_delaying ˱of˲_me the master

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [in his that his master delays]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

χρονίζει

/is/_delaying

Here the slave is implying that his master delays his return. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [delays coming back]

Jerusalem during the New Testament

By the time of the New Testament, the ancient city of Jerusalem had been transformed from the relatively small fortress of David’s day (2 Samuel 5:6-10; 1 Chronicles 11:4-9) into a major city with a Temple that rivaled the greatest temples in the Roman world. Just prior to Jesus’ birth, Herod the Great completely renovated and expanded the Temple of the Lord, and he also built a lavish palace for himself, various pools (where Jesus occasionally performed healings), public buildings, and military citadels, including the Antonia Fortress, which overlooked the Temple. Wealthy residents, including the high priest, occupied extravagant houses in the Upper City, while the poorer residents were relegated to less desirable areas like the Lower City. The Essene Quarter was so named because many of its residents belonged to the Essenes, a strict religious sect that was known for its careful attention to the law of Moses. Across the Kidron Valley lay the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples (Matthew 26:36-46; Mark 14:32-53; John 18:1-14). Further east was the Mount of Olives, where Jesus began his triumphal entry one week before his crucifixion (Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-40; John 12:12-19), taught his disciples about the last days (Matthew 24-25; Mark 13), and eventually ascended to heaven after his resurrection (Luke 24:50-53; Acts 1:1-11).
