UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

δὲ

and

Here, the word Now introduces the next major event in the story. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: [Next,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν & ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις

in & ¬the days those

Here, Matthew uses the term days to refer to a particular period of time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that identifies a particular period of time. Alternate translation: [during that time]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις

¬the days those

Here, the phrase those days refers to the period of time before Jesus began his public ministry. During this time, Jesus lived in Nazareth with his family. Matthew is not referring to the period of time in which Joseph, Mary, and Jesus traveled back from Egypt to Galilee. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer more explicitly to the time period in which Jesus lived in Nazareth. Alternate translation: [the days when Jesus lived in Nazareth] or [the days before Jesus began his ministry]

Note 4 topic: writing-participants

παραγίνεται Ἰωάννης ὁ Βαπτιστὴς

/is/_arriving John the Baptist

This phrase introduces a new character into the story. If your language has an expression of its own that serves this purpose, you could use it here. Alternate translation: [there is a man named John the Baptist] or [a man called John the Baptist appears]

Note 5 topic: translate-tense

παραγίνεται

/is/_arriving

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 could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: [came]
