UTN uW Translation Notes:
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
γὰρ
for
Here, the word For introduces a further explanation of what is going to happen. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a further explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “Even more,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
ἐγερθήσεται & ἔθνος ἐπὶ ἔθνος, καὶ βασιλεία ἐπὶ βασιλείαν
/will_be_being/_raised & nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom
These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternatively, you could combine the two phrases. Alternate translation: “nation will rise against nation, yes, kingdom against kingdom” or “nation and kingdom rise against nation and kingdom”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
ἐγερθήσεται & ἔθνος ἐπὶ ἔθνος, καὶ βασιλεία ἐπὶ βασιλείαν
/will_be_being/_raised & nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom
The words nation and kingdom represents nations and kingdoms in general, not one particular kingdom and nation. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in another way.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
βασιλεία ἐπὶ βασιλείαν

Note 7 topic: translate-textvariants
