UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations

ἰδοὺ

behold

Here, the word behold draws the attention of the audience and asks them to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks the audience to listen, or you could draw the audience’s attention in another way. Alternate translation: “picture this” or “suddenly”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πᾶσα ἡ πόλις

all the city

Matthew says whole here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “most of the city”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

πᾶσα ἡ πόλις

all the city

Here, the phrase the whole city represents most of the people who lived in the city. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “most of the people from the city”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

παρεκάλεσαν ὅπως μεταβῇ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων αὐτῶν

˱they˲_implored_‹him› so_that ˱he˲_/may/_depart from the regions ˱of˲_them

It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: “they begged, ‘Please depart from our region’”
