UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

and

Here, the word But introduces a development of what Jesus said in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a development, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “Indeed,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ὑμῖν

˱to˲_you_all

Here, the word you is plural because Jesus is speaking to everyone who follows him.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πολλοὶ

many

Jesus is using the adjective many as a noun to mean many people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “many men and women”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν καὶ δυσμῶν

from east and west

Here, Jesus is referring to every direction by naming the directions that are opposities: east and west. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from every direction”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀνακλιθήσονται

/will_be_being/_reclined

In Jesus’ culture, people would usually recline, or lay on one side, when they were eating. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to the position in which people eat in your culture, or you could just refer to eating. Alternate translation: “they will sit down to eat” or “they will eat”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀνακλιθήσονται

/will_be_being/_reclined

When Jesus speaks about eating while in the kingdom of the heavens, he could mean: (1) that one thing that people will do is feast together. In this case, Jesus is not using a metaphor. Alternate translation: “they will recline at the feast” (2) that people will rejoice and be happy as if they were at a feast. In this case, Jesus is using a metaphor. Alternate translation: “they will rejoice”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μετὰ Ἀβραὰμ, καὶ Ἰσαὰκ, καὶ Ἰακὼβ

with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob

The words Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are the names of the three most important ancestors of Jesus’ people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, who are our important ancestors,”
