UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

ἔρχεται & εὑρίσκει & λέγει

˱he˲_/is/_coming & /is/_finding & ˱he˲_/is/_saying

To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you can use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “he came … found … he said”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοὺς μαθητὰς

the disciples

Here, the disciples refers specifically to Peter, James, and John. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Peter, James, and John”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

λέγει τῷ Πέτρῳ

˱he˲_/is/_saying ¬the ˱to˲_Peter

Here Matthew implies that Jesus woke up Peter before speaking to him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “he wakes up Peter to say to him”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

οὕτως οὐκ ἰσχύσατε μίαν ὥραν γρηγορῆσαι μετ’ ἐμοῦ?

thus not ˱you_all˲_were_able one hour /to/_watch with me

Jesus is using the question form to rebuke Peter, James, and John. 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: “So, I see that you were not able to be alert with me for one hour.” or “You surely should have been able to be alert with me for one hour!”

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

οὕτως οὐκ ἰσχύσατε

thus not ˱you_all˲_were_able

Here, the word So indicates that Jesus question is based on what he found when he returned to the disciples. Given that the disciples were asleep, the word So means that the answer to this question is already obvious. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a rhetorical question based on something that the person has observed. Alternate translation: “Given what I just found, should I conclude that were you not able” or “I do not really need to ask, but were you not able”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

οὐκ ἰσχύσατε

not ˱you_all˲_were_able

Although Jesus is speaking directly to Peter, you here is plural and refers to Peter, James, and John. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “were the three of you not able”
