UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-tense

λέγει

/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 could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “said”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μηδενὶ εἴπῃς

˱to˲_no_one ˱you˲_/may/_tell

The implication is that the man is not to tell anyone that Jesus healed him. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “you tell no one that you have been healed”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

σεαυτὸν, δεῖξον τῷ ἱερεῖ

yourself show ˱to˲_the priest

Jesus told the man to show himself to the priest so that the priest could look at his skin to see if his leprosy was really gone. The law of Moses required people to present themselves to the priest for inspection if they had been unclean but were now clean. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “ask to be inspected by the priest” or “let yourself be examined by the priest”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

προσένεγκον τὸ δῶρον ὃ προσέταξεν Μωϋσῆς

offer the gift which commanded Moses

Jesus assumes that the man will know that the law required a person who had been healed from a skin disease to offer a specific gift. This made the person ceremonially clean, and they could participate once again in community religious activities. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “offer the gift that Moses commanded for making people clean again”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰς μαρτύριον αὐτοῖς

for /a/_testimony ˱to˲_them

Here Jesus means that the man should show himself to the priest and offer the gift to prove or provide testimony that he had been healed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “for a testimony to them that you have been cleansed”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς μαρτύριον αὐτοῖς

for /a/_testimony ˱to˲_them

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of testimony, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “so that it testifies to them”

Note 7 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτοῖς

˱to˲_them

The pronoun them could refer to: (1) Jewish people in general. Alternate translation: “to people” (2) the priests specifically. Alternate translation: “to the priests”
