UTN uW Translation Notes:
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
δὲ
and
Here, the word But 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 But untranslated. Alternate translation: “Then”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
ἔρχονται
/are/_coming
To call attention to a development in the story, Jesus uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “came”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
λέγουσαι, κύριε, κύριε, ἄνοιξον ἡμῖν!
saying sir sir open_up ˱to˲_us
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “repeatedly calling the bridegroom lord and asking him to open for them.”
Note 4 topic: writing-politeness
κύριε, κύριε
sir sir
In Jesus’ culture, the word lord was a polite way for a young woman to address an older man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that is a polite way to address an older man in your culture. Alternate translation: “Honorable sir”
Note 5 topic: writing-quotations
λέγουσαι
saying
If you keep the direct quotation, consider natural ways of introducing it in your language. Alternate translation: “and they said”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἄνοιξον ἡμῖν
open_up ˱to˲_us
Here foolish virgins are implying that they want the door opened for them so they can join the wedding celebration. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “open the door so that we can join the wedding feast”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
ἄνοιξον
open_up
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 open”
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
ἄνοιξον
open_up
Since the virgins is talking to the bridegroom, the imperative here is singular.
