UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς

/was/_saying ˱to˲_him ¬The Jesus

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “Jesus answered”

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

πάλιν γέγραπται

again ˱it˲_/has_been/_written

In Matthew’s culture, it is written was a normal way to introduce a quotation from an important text, in this case, the book of Deuteronomy (see Deuteronomy 6:16). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Jesus is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: “Again, you can read in the Scriptures” or “Again, it says in the book of Deuteronomy”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πάλιν γέγραπται

again ˱it˲_/has_been/_written

If your language does not use the passive form, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Again, Moses wrote this in the Scriptures”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

γέγραπται, οὐκ ἐκπειράσεις Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου

˱it˲_/has_been/_written not ˱you˲_/will_be/_testing /the/_Lord the God ˱of˲_you

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. If you do, you will need to delete the single quotation mark at the end of the second quotation. Alternate translation: “it is written that you will not test the Lord your God”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

οὐκ ἐκπειράσεις Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου

not ˱you˲_/will_be/_testing /the/_Lord the God ˱of˲_you

The author of the quotation is using a statement to give a command. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a command form. Alternate translation: “You must not test the Lord your God”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

οὐκ ἐκπειράσεις

not ˱you˲_/will_be/_testing

Since the author of the quotation is addressing each specific person who is part of God’s people, the word You here is singular. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “None of you will test”
